I see Daddy used solicitors firms and court services quite a lot, Maria must have been raised from the cradle to this same way most of us were regularly brought to the dentist.

And she clearly got a tough time over it. Imo that's enough, it's not the end of the world.

That the standard update of the site.
There was nothing deleted. The case didn't go to court. By all accounts, she got a nice settlement.

I clicked on that link and it made no sense to me. Anyone care to explain what it's all about?

There is nothing there only maria bailey v aerlingus and a date.

The sooner Maria Bailey resigns her Dail seat and/or is booted out of FG the better.

It’s beyond a farce at this stage.

You have the statutory right to file a claim over anything. It doesn't mean you will succeed with the claim. She has done nothing wrong.
I don't understand these demands for Fine Gael to get rid of her or for her to resign.

How could somebody be demanding her resignation when the lines of Maria Walsh was proven to be lying in the run-up to the. European elections and nobody seems to care. Even worse is the children's hospital debacle, Simon Harris is still minister for health. You all should get your act together and realise which things are worse.

She won’t be resigning her seat, that’s just not going to happen.

You don't understand that lying is wrong?

I get a lot of what you are saying and unfortunately the electorate have short memories, but on the other hand, it does seem that Maria Bailey cost FG some votes and seats in the local elections. The party remembers that more than say, more consequential stuff but less obvious like Harris being better at killing people than saving them - maybe thats what FG looks for in a Minister for Health (e.g. Noonan).

She was out drinking and fell off a swing and didn't want to take responsibility for her own stupidity. Just because you have a right to do something, doesn't mean you should do it, and she completely took the p!ss.

The claim was dropped, end of. No harm, no foul. Move on, find something important to moan about.

You’re really missing the point of the criticism she is receiving.

“You have the statutory right to file a claim over anything”
It’s that attitude coupled with lies, fraud and a hideously low level of self awareness that has her in this situation

Only because she was caught fibbing. She is dishonest.

But the claim was only dropped because it was clearly found, in advance if the case, to be fraudulent.

You'd have to be living under a bridge not to realise this is important in the context of her being a member of a government doing nothing in the face of spurious & exaggerated claims and rising insurance costs.

ps if you are living under a bridge, my sympathies, the government advises you to take advantage of the exciting social opportunities this presents.

If she felt she had a valid claim, she should have been able to defend her position better than the pure gibberish she spoke on the SOR radio programme. Gibberish that had her own colleagues shaking their heads in dismay at how dreadful a portrait she painted of herself. That was her chance to explain her claim and she blew it by evading questions on her own responsibility as regards the accident and whinging like some sort of spoiled princess that questions were actually being asked about it.

She dropped her claim because she was exposed to be making a dubious insurance claim as a result of her own ineptitude. This in turn gives rise to question her integrity as a sitting T.D. and to question if, especially after hearing the radio interview, she is fit to retain that position as a government representative.

How do you know how she felt about things after the accident. Did she have concussion, do you know?

So is Maria Walsh but nobody is giving out about her.

It was never proven to be fraudulent. There has been stories written that suggest it bit you have to be gullible enough to believe everything that's written and in my opinion that is a mistake by you and anybody else who just swallows everything said.

What about medical costs, taxpayers being screwed out of money. See Sion Harris. I'm sure if I looked hard enough I could find people involved with Simon Harris in some way who have benefitted greatly from the billions spent on the children's hospital debacle.

She got destroyed in social media and like everybody else these days she ran away scared.

You surmise from all that you've read that it was dubious.
I'm not easily fooled and I've a lit of experience dealing with solicitors and courts. No chance half the stuff that has been reported is true because no solicitor would be having it.
