    I was actually hoping he was arrested for pretending to be someone else and it would be like scooby doo when they pulled off his face mask and revealed Charles Haughey.

    I wasnt expecting this. I was not prepared for the riveting discussion of hanging people out to dry for a phone bill.

    Sure I use my phone in work for personal calls, christ, I am the devil.

    No more deserving people of a good (verbal/written) bash.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Maybe if you took it in to context, he resigned over an expenses scandal when he was caught flipping houses, and then in 2010 the fraud squad were called in to invesitgate him for mobile phone expenses.

    The fraud squad, you been investigaed by them lately? Well he has, and the house thing was more serious but what of it, if he's charged for this then it's better than nothing. The Fraud Squad is a fairly serious thing, and it's hard enough to see opportunistic and charalatan politicians being held accountable, so this is a start. Also significant, Callerary was/is an amplification of all that was rotten during Fianna Fails tenure, a man who stood up in the senate talking up houses, par for the course, a self-serving FF man.

    Lol at who thanked your post by the way, maybe the man of the moment is browsing in court.

    Btw, this isn't a random, bash politicans thread, it's not baseless, he is being investigated for fraud.

    Just as well you highlighted that in bold print.

    Just in case nobody else noticed that you're ar an liathróid like.






    It was reported on the news at 11 this morning that he was nicked again today.

    That I threw up a link without checking the dates says more about his habitual nature of being arrested than it does about me.

    After all, if he was never in trouble with the law in the first place the original link wouldn't exist.

    OP edited with updated link.

    It's all your fault OP, you should've checked the link before you posted it.
    It was 15 months old.

    I also heard the news @ 11, the newsreader was almost breathless with shock that after three years being played out in the media, an arrest had taken place.

    No one forced you to read this thread.

    If you're content to be bent over and fúcked up the ass by a corrupt politician, then by all means carry on.

    But don't log on to a discussion forum moaning about a discussion simply because you claim to have no interest in the topic.

    That is the sign of a compete and utter whinger with fúckall better to do.

    Last time he was in court he made €17,000 and the ''judge'' award costs against the state to the tune of €100,000.

    He didnt just make calls on a work phone. He fraudulently created invoices from a shop that didn't exist to make it look like he purchased phones worth hundreds of euro then pocked the money.

    Unfortunately time after time these FF crooks are carried shoulder high by the "grass roots" party faithful.

    Just look at the reception Michael Martin got when he rocked up at a conference after getting the FF leadership job. If memory serves me correct this was only weeks after the Troika arrived in town (I stand to be corrected).
