Some of the present shower like James Reilly getting tax exemptions on his "tourist" mansion too.
The show goes on it seems.

To be fair, anyone with a listed building (who opens it to the public) can avail of that tax relief. I've seen his 'mansion', it needs a serious about work, I thought it was run down looking.

Honestly now Mrs007 did you buy Mammy's book?
I suspect you did.

Nice to see that Feargal Quinn, the man who wanted to monitor the Google searches of social welfare recipients, is among those who recently received a tax free perk of €23,000 on top of his €65,000 Seanad salary........

No way! :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

Tayto, you're not my friend anymore

Actually, my mother got a present of it at Christmas, she offered it to me but it's not my cuppa tea. I hear that Mammy O'Rourke's sex scenes are as bad the ones in 50 Shades

Amazing the way that the Government can cut the carers' respite grant at the stroke of a pen but can do nothing to reduce the pensions of these pigs who had their snouts in the trough for so many years :mad:

If it's a constitutional thing regarding pensions being looked as property rights, then give us a referendum.

Yup they did a referendum to allow judicial pay to be cut, but funny none on cutting public service pensions including politicians. Judges pay save a few million a year, funny fact all court service salary including judges 50 million a year, income to the courts from stamp duty etc. 50 million. Wish politicians covered their pay.

God almighty will you warn people if you are going to say things like that, putting the words sex scene in the same sentance as that woman. I've just had to wash my eyes out with bleach! :eek:

Lady Chatterton

Oh Blaas For Rafa, I can tell you're a big "Mammy" fan so I'm posting this for you (and for Tayto, I reckon he is a closet supporter too )

Here she is speaking to John Murray after winning an award for 'Just Mary' at the Irish Book Awards.

I'm not much of a fan of the Indo but I find Fionnan Sheehan tends to wipe the floor with most people in a very enjoyable way on tv/radio debates like these.

Yes, he is no pushover, gets his point across and is well able for Vincent too.

Lady Chatterton

Vincent and his panel will be discussing the Quinn's in the High Court and Ireland - 'the tax haven'. I reckon the Patrick O'Brien case will get a mention too.

I'm delighted that the b@stard is behind bars tonight and I hope he'll spend the rest of his days there.

And fair play to the judge too ... takes a big man to admit when he's made a mistake & an example of a genuine & sincere apology too. Pity a few more wouldn't follow his example.

I completely agree it takes a big person to apologise but he had no choice, it was Brendan Grehan SC, prosecuting who told the court that the judge was wrong to grant O'Brien leave to appeal because the law had changed in 2010 and the court no longer had that power.

Technically, Justice Carney issued a statement of regret not an apology.

“I have no hesitation in expressing my profound regret to Ms Doyle for the distress which has been caused to her in this case,".

Huh? I think it's a f*** up of monstrous proportions and I think his position should be immediately reviewed

vicwatson

Ah lads isn't Paschal so funny.

Seriously, he is hilarious, "tens of thousands of jobs down the docks", how many do State Street employ asks VB "well, I don't know"

Brilliant. Fine Gael Gold

Marie Louise O'Donnell with her 23k and her salary and her love-in paid slot with Pat Kenny, hmmmm

Joe Higgins has a curious hypnotic effect on me. 5 minutes of listening to him and I find myself dozing off

my friend

Joe Higgins is incapable of answering a straight question with a straight answer

His days of spoofing are up

tayto lover

Was Paschal in a spot of bother recently, anyone hear?
My mistake, it was Pascal Mooney.

my friend

Higgins has exposed himself to be nothing other than an old school bully of a talk down to anyone younger typical saddo failed school teacher

The dismissive way he attempted to talk down to that Paschal lad truly reveals Joes nasty side

Lady Chatterton

Joe is looking very casual tonight, where, oh where have all his suits gone???

I wonder is it a definite PR thing to make him look like a man of the people in these times of austerity.

Is there any other way to talk to Paschal O'Donoghue?

I think he still wears suits in the Dáil. He always goes for the woolly cardigan, man-of-the-people look elsewhere.

I'm sick and tired of the fecking Quinns. I find it very hard to believe that Aoife Quinn signed a load of documents that she didn't understand :rolleyes:

He has been dressing down of late when he appears on this show but it wasn't always the case

Heard that woman on the radio today.
Remarkable woman.
Good to see her trying to get on with her life.

She also said that she opened 4 bank accounts in Dubai last year but didn't have the account numbers or any of the documentation for them. She's as dodgy as the rest of the quinns.

alan partridge aha

Enough already about Fiona Doyle, now she is going to meet Enda, FFS give me a break, get on and run the country Enda
