He should be made pay for part of the Tribunal costs. One of those houses should be seized from him if not all of them.

I imagine most of the Flynn assets are held in the name of his wife, Wilma Flintstone Dorothy Flynn

BUT if he is ever convicted of corruption in court then his pension should be stopped and he should have to reimburse the state every cent he got since he retired. He would have used his position to commit crime.

Comeuppance how??? They are not gonna take away his pension, as he is ENTITLED to it, just like Ray Burke... Enda is sending the files to DPP, Gardaí, Revenue and anybody else who will take a copy, but does anybody really think that anything will come of this... About three years time they will all tell us that they are still investigating and will be taking action soon, and in the same way with the inside trading in Anglo, NOTHING will be done...

But at least one good thing comes out of the Tribunal report... Just in case anybody was still of the opinion that FF made all the planning decisions through lack of competency alone, this report confirms that FF party Councillors, TDs and Ministers made these decisions for THEIR OWN PERSONAL GAIN...

This will all be forgotten about in a week (or less).

THIS IS IRELAND

Unfortunately you are probably right .... but did we really need to make millionaires of the legal profession to confirm what any half rational person could see clear as day. As the old judge in Rumpole of the Bailey used to say 'use your common sense, Ladies & Gentlemen'.

The journalists will be happy ... that's the Sunday Papers done & dusted ... but at the end of the day nothing will change any more than it will change in the Banks or Civil Service. There is no stomach in this country for accoutability ...... it's the Catholic ethos you see.

If FF were really serious about change they would do whatever is involved to put the process in train to wind up that corrupt & corrupting organisation. I won't hold my breath while I wait for that to happen.

vicwatson

but did we really need to make millionaires of a very small amount of the legal profession

Let me fix that for you:)

It's not a route worth going down at the moment, the cost of 250/300 million will be exposed and whinged about on lahvline don't you know !

I'm sure the small amount that got work from this were offered lucrative daily amounts and they accepted them, they cshould have been offered less on a take it or leave it basis but they weren't.

take everything

Wonder what Vinny has to say tonight. :pac:

Just looking at Dara Calleary, I bet he's wishing he went to a different table on Fresher's society day in Trinity.

Jonny, he comes from a Fianna Fáil dynasty. His father Sean was a TD for Mayo East from 1973 to 1992 and served as a Minister in three government departments during that time.

His grandfather Phelim was elected a member of the 14th Dáil for Mayo North at the 1952 by-election and served until retiring at the 1969 general election .

If it was me, I'd find it very hard to look my grandchildren in the eyes after being described as corrupt.

Ah here. He didn't murder someone.

Read my post again.

I said how I would react but then again I've a huge conscience. I'd be completely mortified if I was ever described as corrupt.

Hurry up and get started Vincent, I've gone nearly 30 minutes without analysis of the Mahon Report now

I don't think he does anymore. That might have been archive footage.

He won't have an FF membership card for much longer, either

In fairness though, it's not worth much. It's a bit of a negative equity membership at this stage.

Brian Cowen must be happy enough, all the same.

He now stands alone among recent Fianna Fáil leaders as being merely grossly incompetent, rather than a certified liar.

Lady Chatterton

Poor enough panel, I was hoping for Matt Cooper, Mick Clifford and Sam Smyth

Eamon Ryan's hair looks dyed :eek:

Typical Vincent, far too often he goes off on a tangent to the main issue of the day.

Why the hell should anyone care what a non-entity like Eamonn Ryan thinks? He's been all over the radio today too.

Your 5 minutes is up Eamonn. Get off the stage.

I never understood why the two Green ministers stood behind Ahern when he was giving his resignation speech.
