Calley is an amateur. The Rea family have the money grabbing business sown up better!

Yet still stupid people elect these fools!

If they actually decide to get rid of Ivor, he is "entitled" to €160,000 golden handshake in addition to a €60k pension.

For fcuk sake...:mad:

Oh and just to highlight some irony, the papers today are filled with both the Ivor story and the fact the 450,000 people are now unemployed and struggling to get by.

nice1franko

When the the peasantry are caught stealing it's theft and they are charged as such (rightfully so).

When the ruling class are caught it's classed as "conduct unbecoming" and they are encouraged to step down from their lucrative positions and accept a large amounts of money for the inconvenience.

When are you feckin plebs going to learn your places? There's a pecking order here and you gob****es are the bottom of it.

ricman

The other senators don,t like him, hes drawing attention to how much money they get for expenses.
I HOPE they close down the senate ,its a talking shop that,s costing millions to run,which is totally useless .
IT serves no purpose ,but to give a home to old tds that cannot get elected,and party hacks.
Go to senate,get large salary,fat pension for talking to other politicians.

This is reinforcing my absolute hatred of politicians and their callous disregard to people working their asses off just to live in a box in some **** suburb.

Lemegeton

this man is pure filth and it makes me sick. if there was any justice left in this world criminal charges would be brought against him. it makes me sick to my stomach to live in a country where good people are dying because our health service is a joke and we are constantly told there is no money and more cutbacks take place. all the while politicians like this **** are using our taxes to live a life of luxury. just look at the expenses the likes of Harney claimed for their paddys day trips abroad, its sickening.

11:11

Psychologically, it's probably not good for me to hate people like this, but I do. A LOT!

Amhran Nua

But sure what, you have the likes of Willie O'Dea committing perjury and still on the backbenches, Ceann Comhairle John O'Donoghue, son in law of Michael Pat Murphy, former Labour TD, taking €200,000 in taxpayer funds and standing up as if butter wouldn't melt in his mouth. Where are the consequences? I've never understood how people like this can look in the mirror every morning.

What's all the fuss about?

He claimed over €80k in travel expenses from an address that he didn't live at - we've all gotten confused over our address from time to time.

He didn't declare a handsful of properties - probably just forgot he had them. Easy mistake to make.

Claimed €3k on mobile phones from a company that didn't exist - actually have no idea about this one. My phone company sends me a new phone each year for free. *

This is just a witchhunt!

* Yes, I know it's not really free.

My wife went to a conference in some flash hotel, and was waiting in the lobby before the conference started. One of the Healy-Rae sons arrived, and instead of actually attending the conference, he picked up an information pack and left. They never saw him again.

I wonder what the expense rate was for "attending" that conference?

And they'll still be laughing all the way to the bank when the natives vote them all in again, except the old buffoon, who is apparently handing his TD's crown to one of his princes for the next general election.

I expect there's another Healy-Rae waiting to take the crowned prince's place on the Kerry councillor gravy-train.

He, Jackie, himself has mentioned that one of his sons will attempt to take over Jackies seat with he, himself manages to get enough cash - sorry - let it go to his sons via local election.

..And fools will put the son in and we get another "Cally" continuing/increasing the amounts lost in the money grabbing, state sanctioned racket!

Dempsey being the Transport Minister, had to make use of as many modes of transport as he could. I bet there was also a boat, a donkey and a pushbike that never made it into the public domain. It's a feckin good job that we haven't got a space-ship.

Brian Cowen? Oh wait, maybe either one of the Lenihans, possibly harney? Hanifan is a possibility or indeed manseragh? Coughlan isnt capable of speaking english, nevermind bullsh!ting in it. Good old Batt is good at spinning a yarn, as is Willie. Gormless may be away with the fairies and i dont know could ryan be called a bullsh!tter - he just deluded enough to believe everything he says.

Or it could have just been the KING of the bullsh!tters....bbb bbbb bbbbb Bertie!:mad:

The Minister for Bullsh1t changes on a daily basis, so that he or she can come out with the same old crap, and pretend that it's never been said before.

Still might be worth clogging up the inbox, I also think it's good that people spend time to write down their thoughts/opinions and are clear on the magnitude of their feelings. I did it and couldn't believe how angry I actually was. This is a horror on our republic, an absolute change of attitude is needed.

People . . You got Callely and all politicians all wrong . .

The money is just resting in their accounts . .

If thats not good enough, they were entitled to it . .

If thats not good enough they are just feeling privaleged to ride the sh*t out of the state be able to represent their community . .

Well that isn't true. Some senators, particularly those elected by the universities often draw attention to important issues ignored by the rest of the oireachtas. I'm thinking here particularly of David Norris and all the work he did in de-criminalising homosexuality. There are examples of others too.

yoshytoshy

Ivor callely is a true patriot ,he is actually part of a group of people who are trying to create an irish mysticism around the world.
Poor Ivor and his ff counterparts have literally taken this too far though.

We need to remind them ,theres no such thing as leprechauns and crocks of gold ,thats actually our taxes we paid and we don't want our money squandered. Please fianna fail ,give us a break!

Senator Callely declared that he would not be stepping down from his €80,000 a year position in the Senate

Warra surprise!


Yes there are other politicians who as crooked as the road to a-halfs-graw but the difference between them and Ivor is Ivor has been proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, yet with some ludicrous law preventing him being sacked he's going to dig the heels in and not move.


If Ivor is not removed from his position by any means, the government are going to spark the general public into action, and we all know how hard it is to get any Irish person to convert their words into actions.

Just really typical. He sees that nothing wrong has been done. Futher pissing me off!!! No remorse...

Would the Irish people care to accept their portion of the blame for electing 77FF TD's and giving them 41.6% of the vote or are the FF voters who gave them this going to pretend they didnt vote for them.

Nobody can excuse the recent expenses scandal, However I think we all remember this

http://www.independent.ie/national-news/moriarty-tribunal-haughey-stole-45m-65364.html

What about Ray Burkes stint in the clink for falsifying Tax Returns.

Then we have the boul Liam Lawlor who did bird for his failure to cooperate with the mahon tribunal.

I think we can see the pattern here. Now forgive my cynicism here for a second but when I hear FF voters say that they will never vote FF again for their poor performance in goverment (forgetting about the Ivor Callely situation and all the above history) I simply do not believe them. I will only believe it when I see it.

Additionally, this Ivor callely situation is nothing new as we can see from the examples above. Different circumstance but tantamount to the same thing. The abuse of office for their own gain. How the FF party has remained the strongest party in this state boggles my mind and simply confirms my belief that Irish people either love a stroker or enjoy having their money stolen from them.
