The Daily Mail says that MHR won the "celebrities gone wild" reality TV show on RTE circa 3-4 years ago after 3600 premium rate calls were made from one Dail phone. The calls cost the taxpayer €2600.

This is ridiculous and beyond belief.

I am actually angry, and I rarely get angry - this is just so blatent, so in your face...

He's gone from office, but I want him to pay this money back.

We should just cancel his pension on the grounds that he's a fuhken narsole.

Napper Hawkins · 28-06-2011, 00:36

Absolutely nothing surprises me about this country anymore.

3600 extra votes would not have won it for him alone or even came close. Just goes to show that there much be zero policing of what numbers are allowed be called from the Dail phones.

Really?

Was this a big show?
I don't remember it.

Gobshite gombeen. I couldn't care less what county he's from.

Double standards, now here is a gombeen for €2600?

And Michael Healy Rae isn't a gombeen because

? Because Tony Gregory is from Dublin?
And just to clear things up MHR has been a gombeen long before this. If he singly handedly saves the country from recession he's still a gombeen. He's also the son of a gombeen.

Even Vinny B on TV3 could only laugh at this, pure mucksavagery.

Fair play to the Healy-Rae's - they know how to get a job done.

Vote 1 for Jackie for the Aras, which will be moved to South Kerry on his election!!!!
