    If Catherine Murphy said a single thing that turns out to be incorrect she has lost her job.

    That's a decision for her constituents.

    There may be something sinister at the heart of the Dinny/FG relationship, but they still have not totally removed the concept of democracy.

    Agreed!
    And I'm sure that you would be even more outraged if, after an enquiry,
    all the same TD got for her slander was a gentle rap on the knuckles.
    This carte blanche scutter about a TD having absolute privilege to say what s/he like in the Dail needs to be addressed.

    So your accusing Catherine Murphy of slander?

    Pretty serious accusation there!

    I actually feel she would step down, as she does appear to be a woman of integrity and the calls for resignation would be too strong to ignore. So her job would be gone. Constituents have nothing to do with it.

    Are you saying only TDs are allowed make serious accusations?

    Seems to be going very much against your own argument there...

    Well if DOB is not getting that outrageous cut in interest I fully agree she should step down and I think she would to.

    DOB is trying to silence the Dáil. Nothing to see here at all according to some. I would be interested to know what some of you guys really think on a personal level about these goings on. Its indefensible. :rolleyes:

    Why do you assume our personal thinking is different from our public position?
    Perhaps yours is...mine isn't!

    Curly Judge doesn't need proof. She just needs to say stuff in a public setting (like the Dail, for example) and allow the person being accused be trialed by the general public and be declared guilty until proven innocent.

    Because I think she might suspect there are Denis o Brien/Michael Lowry corruption supporters on here who work for them in a PR capacity or gain public positions through their support and who have a public profile because of this and as long as they are paid or gain positions on public boards they will continue with supportive public profile but that may not be what they necessarily think personally especially when the patronage runs out.

    Eh,Curly Judge needs to get elected to the Dail first to avail of parliamentary privilege and I don't think there is much chance of him becoming a deputy considering his stance on corrupt businessmen.
    Try FF/FG though,they don't seem to have any problems with these sort of opinions.

    Or perhaps there are people out there who (completely convinced by their own ideas) cannot bring themselves to believe that other citizens might hold a contrary view for the most worthy of reasons and must therefore be in the pay or pocket of dark rightwing forces?

    Catherine Murphy better not get as much as a speeding ticket,A 6am raid by the gardai is now one mistake away.

    She has been a credit to irish politics.

    All I know is that if:
    1) my personal finances were being discussed in the Dail, and
    2) there was inaccurate information being spread about me by a TD in the Dail (which is entirely possible given that we have no idea what was being said)

    I would be absolutely outraged.

    I know terrible isn't it
    In fact why doesnt dob dissolve the dail completely and just declare himself
    DOB.... Lord Protector Of Ireland.

    ...coz basically that is what it's amounting to.

    Much as I'd dance a merry jig if DOB got double-tapped, the real story is who in the name of was giving him the free money? TBH I'd take the 1.5% rate myself if I could get it.
    DOB is turning into a convenient scapegoat for FG/FF. Hopefully he'll rat on the lot if he takes much more abuse and isn't even getting his free money for the service to the establishment.

    Only if her claims prove correct. The naming of individuals in the Dail needs to be looked at. If TDs have proof of wrongdoing, they must remember that a person is innocent until proven guilty, same as Paul Murphy, et al.

    Didn't see too much righteous indignation on this topic when SF members were being bashed by FG over Mairia Cahill etc. in the Dail a while back...
