Do you think Micheal Martin with have the guts to expel Bertie?

The Mahon Tribunal's findings are due to be published soon and I expect the findings about Bertie's money grabbing and corruption will be damming.

Do you think Micheal Martin will have the guts to expel Bertie from Fianna Fail?

Nah, he'll just have an inquiry into the media and find that thr Mahon findigs are wrong

And it will take Martin 2-3 months to come to a decisive conclusion too

If he did it as a result of the Major findings then I'd expect Fianna Fail to start looking slightly less tarnished for the future. I doubt it though as a core tenet of a political party is that you must speak as one.

No way, Only if a special commitee makes findings and another commitee of the FF approve the decision.
Then MM will act swiftly to expel Bertie.

Please tell me how the leader of the opposition can introduce an inquiry into the media... DOH

And what if they don't find him guilty of the charges....?

This story slipped beneath my radar. Thanks for that. So even Micheal "whiter-than-white Martin" is corrupt.

Dear people of Ireland,

being surprised that an Irish politician is corrupt is much like drinking a litre of laxative & being surprised when you sh*t your pants!

Yours sincerely

Does that mean Martin was the original fianna fail party bagman?

Maybe it was just an error in accounting, hold on wasnt that Gallagher that used that excuse?

Fianna Fail are crooked to the core!

Do you think Micheal Martin with have the guts to expel Bertie?
