    Everything should be thrown into black bin bag and dropped in the dail bar,these items would probably include large quantity of brown envelops,a list of JOD's limos at airports all over the world,Ivors expense claim forms,Mammy O Rourke's list of doorstep excuses,Biffo's nasal medication,Bertie's horse racing guide and Ray Burkes guide to mountjoy

    there's probably a dumpster out the back that could accommodate them just as well.


    Fantastic that in our "new era of politics" there is still petty squabbling about a room with a view in Leinster House, what gives FF any entitlement what so ever to specific areas of a state owner building?

    Who is actually responsible for the allocation of office space in Leinster House?

    I know the OPW look after the upkeep of the place, but who decides how the place is run on a day to day basis?

    At the House of Commons in Westminster the task is undertaken by the Sergeant at Arms. Her say is final. Political parties do have traditional offices there but they don't have any rights to claim them as their own.

    The FF party should be holding their meetings in the canteen in Mountjoy.

    The Ceann Comhairle and the Houses of the Oireachtas Commission.

    I think Enda kenny should have the famous picture of "Biffo on the toilet" hanging in his office:)

    Idiots. Elected TD's behaving like idiots.
    Then again, thats FF for you. Carrying on in their usual fashion. Party first, everything and everyone else comes second.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,774 ✭✭✭raymon

    Use your imagination . M Martin sweeping the floor carrying a bin bag while kenny puts up a painting of Biffo on the toilet.

    So no chaining themselves to radiators singing we will not be moved.

    As FF are in denial that they were defeated in the election, I would not have been surprised.

    Look at Dick Roche and John O Donohues disbelief when they were booted out , with recounts and and oration in Kerry worthy of dev himself

    Begone I say , and have some decorum on the way out

    Psycological Warfare it has to be. Pump Jungle Music into the 5th Floor corridors for the next month to get the Failures out.

    Having said that, I wouldn't let them Fine Gaeler's up to the 5th floor, they'd wreck the place (if pulling the dail bar doors off it's hinges is anything to go by [HERE] ). Keep them in the basement I say, they'll do less harm to themselves than they would if they get up into the sunlight.

    Plazaman - they have agreed to vacate ( according to newspaper reports today )

    They are taking down the portraits of Ivor Callely, Ray Burke, Liam Lawlor, C j haughey , and the flynns , and moving out

    Are you for real? Are you saying that it was just FG responsible for the doors being damaged?
    The bar was jammed by all sides but hey, let forget about that just to be biased, gain a poor opportunity to bash FG and blame them for it!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,774 ✭✭✭raymon


    I would say they are having some job removing all the empty brown envelopes from the fifth floor now that the reality that the election is lost has caught up to their arrogance , and FF have agreed to move

    Good luck in your new ancestral home FF , don't let the door hit you on the way out

    A keepsake of times past? :D
