I'll give you the four and a half years, over the three and a half (its ben a long day)

Regardless of when it happened, it was wrong at the time, and is definitely wrong now that he should hold office, and threaten members of the public when his reputation has been, and is still being repeatedly tarnished.

2008 is a hell of a lot closer to 2012 than the events and history of another poltician whose past, and accusations repeatedly get thrown around these forums.

That doesnt count though does it? Some folk here are very, very short sighted when it comes to 'historical' events on our island.

Im glad the OP posted this article. I for one never heard it before. Bye bye Phil & FG very soon

Passports for Investment Scheme ran from 1988 to 1998. People got an Irish passport in exchange for investing $1 million in Ireland.

The scheme was legal, albeit controversial. Hogan was asked in 2008 on radio, the names of people he received applications from under the scheme more than 10 years earlier and he couldn't remember. Non-story

It has been explained, the value and imprtance of a passport, and how 'selling' one to an unknown person in an unknown country is wrong on so many levels.

never mentioned this at election time or before[/B].

I never did, never have, and never will vote FG.

In saying that though, pre-election they gave all kinds of promises of the 'change' they would bring if voted into power.

Then Phil emerged like a kid let loose in a candy shop, living it large in Rio, not paying his way with his property in Portugal whilst threatening the public here with a pulled out of the air 'household charge'. Yesterday we learned of his financial 'arrangements' with Fingelton, as regards low level mortgages.

It stinks Chucky, he's rotten to the core and isnt fit for the office he holds, if Kenny hasnt gotten rid of him by at least the end of July, it does have to makings of destroying the Govt.

Even a blind man can see that for Christs sake.

Firstly, there's no point dragging up a 4 year old news article implying it's suddenly been brought to light, in order to have a go at a politician. He's a politician so should have plenty of recent cock-ups to point out.

Secondly, Politics forum --->
