It was Ivor Callely. To be honest I'm surprised his car is that old.

Saw him at the height of his scandal, navy Jaguar pulled up across 3 parking spaces in front of a west cork hotel living it up with his Hyacinth Bouquet wife, the world still owing him plenty of favours.

Sickened.

Back on topic - As for Ned? The Irish public loves Neds, Lowry's, O'Dea's, Healy-Rae's, [insert Gobshíte name here] - Reason being that they know if they vote for these pricks then the local GAA pitch will get a sack of new grass seed or there might be a pothole filled on the auld road near enough to the house cause they trust them to go up and fool the big boyos up in Dublin - Shrewd irish voters, with real solid intellect.

On the front of this morning’s Irish Independent "O Keefe could face 10 years in jail". I said to my husband he will probably get a €150 euro fine and a slap on the wrist. Now we learn he gets neither, released without charge. It was a silly headline in the paper but another Irish politicians gets away with taking the Irish people for a ride. You can get put in jail for importing garlic illegally but politicians’ can do whatever they like.

Sure, when else would it have started? The moment you got your freedom your political classes started looking for self enrichment.

Files gone to the DPP. They will decide if he is charged. Jury will decide if he is guilty, the judge the sentence. Were you really expecting all that to happen yesterday?

Yep, thats the way it should be done, and lets hope it gets to court where his peers can decide whether he is guilty or not in a court of law, like the rest of us would be subjected to.

Lets hope this sets a precedent for dealing with the other "suspect" politicians we have.
