    Lecture.
    A master class in how to lumber the general population of the country with 300 Billion debt generated by a handful of private citizens who bank rolled Fianna Fail.

    Little wonder

    'Former minister Frank Fahey, whose extensive property interests are well-known, has travelled abroad 15 times at the taxpayers' expense since the beginning of last year.

    He has already been abroad four times this year, with trips to the French city of Strasbourg (twice), Izmir in Turkey, and Skopje in Macedonia.

    The combined cost of his travels was more than €22,000, which included a single-night stay in Strasbourg in 2009 that cost €1,803.

    Fahey – who enjoys a generous Dáil salary as well as healthy allowances and expenses – attended a number of meetings of the Council of Europe on Social Health and Family Affairs, a meeting on refugees, a parliamentary assembly and a sub-committee on external relations. '

    A snippet from Frank Fahy's WIKI...

    He caused controversy in Galway after speaking at a seminar organised by 'Remax Auctioneers' held at the radison Hotel in January 2009. He spoke at the conference urging first time buyers to "buy now as houses prices were as low as they would go". House prices in Galway have seen a 20%-30% drop in the previous 18 months with little sign of the market stabilising. A number of people have questioned his judgement in the matter, as the seminar was organised by Remax Auctioneers and speakers were drawn from what could be seen as the "vested interests" in the property market in Galway. As of 2009, there were many people with negative equity on their properties, who had bought within the previous five years. A number of people have questioned the wisdom of the Fianna Fáil TD speaking at the seminar encouraging young people to buy now, despite many economists predicting further price drops in the housing market up to 2011 and 2012 and further exposing people to the danger of negative equity on their properties. Also speaking at the seminar was Bank of Ireland manager Pat Fleming, solicitors from Bell and Carroll and mortgage providers 'Simply mortgages'.

    Fahey is the embodiment of the FF Gombeen Man.

    Some choice quotes from him here:

    The definitive oxymoron.

    Here he is trying to deal with Peter Mathews.
    Mathews eloquently outlines how the crisis should be dealt with; Ireland went the route preferred by gombeen men like Fahey.

    FF has some fcuking neck to blame their mistakes and folly on the nation saying that we all partied buying houses, holiday homes abroad, a new car often, multible holidays a year all on the credit card of course.

    Last I checked im renting with no intention of buying, have never been abroad, owned 1 car bought for 800 euro, and dont have a credit card.

    We have a prick here from FF swanning around abroad, and buy properties.
