She is quite representative of Irish society then. There are about 40000 personal injury claims in the country every year.

Cheers though you are a prize example of blind party allegiance, I can find your carbon copy on a thread extolling the values of FF, Labour, Greens etc etc. Depressing tbh.

“You support FG no matter what and see all criticism as an attack to be defended against”


This is your quote.

As i said never once defended this idiot.

I have no interest in quoting your first post on this thread.

I took the time the type out a polite and reasoned response to you and the above is your reply . I expected more, if only for kicks and giggles. You take this stuff too seriously and that's being honest .

Been in the 4 courts as a "technical witness " a couple of times. If you stand back for a bit and look at all the briefcases walking through, it is fairly obvious all those lads have to be paid. The awards on any day have to pay that bill. Nothing to do with what's right and wrong.

Anyone have a picture of the offending swing?

Very little. They being in power has minimised it. Not giving them an overall majority at the last election did some harm, but FF have done a sterling job in supporting FG. Credit where its due.

The main problem is the average Irish voter whose blinkered view always regards those in power as clowns. It really doesnt matter what hue of government parties it is, single party, coalition, minority, rainbow, left support, right supported centre, independent propped - the simplistic view sees it all the same because it does not deliver miracles. The more sophisticated view, like mine, and not that many other people in this country, recognises these unrealistic expectations for what they are - unrealistic. And that the ability of the Irish to govern is very low. But just because it is low, it doesnt mean those in power are crap, and should be turfed out. Only the really naive follow the delusion that because those in power arent doing a great job, those who arent doing it, are the solution.

Its problematic. But the bottom line is that the Irish get the low performing governance they vote for, and that reflects the overall ability of the nation for self government.

Incumbents are always the best option because I voted for them before, and sunken-cost fallacy leads me to vote for them again.

I love the way in the act of posting something so profoundly contradictory and silly you manage to declare yourself 'sophisticated.'

Ruh Roh, this does not bode well for her. Even if she wins the case, she isn't looking to good.

It's amazing to me that nobody sees the demand amongst the electorate for a party for the workers of Ireland, a genuine worker's party, not the farcical "worker's party" currently in existence.

Those in the Dail are probably too insulated to realise it but surely an outsider would have realised it by now. Even the likes of FG who those on the left will say are only interested in serving the rich etc, the reality is that they have been pandering to the likes of Margaret Cash etc for years now.

Crying shame that there are no real viable alternatives to FG outside of the independent vote.

Renua?

They’re pandering to the likes of Margaret Cash at arms length thank god.

Peoole aren’t stupid.

If SF or FF get in its own season for the spongers.

May as well have Miss Cash in power as the FG claim sponges that we have now. It's the ordinary working (wo)man getting shafted by both.

You sound a British Tory from 200 years ago. Best we conquer the natives and they will thank us for it

Not just any 10K - but the one in Dun Laoighaire. Have done that a few times and it isn’t the the easiest route going given the hills and inclines in the first half of it. Not a race I would be do doing if I was ‘injured’ as such!

If she was that bad she wouldn't have a hope of strolling down the local shop never mind doing this run.....

Honestly hope she is shot down.....

Funny how these rich folk live in a different universe to those she is meant to serve ......

When this is laughed out of court, can costs be awarded against her?

Jesus so not just a spurious claim but a fraudulent claim to boot.

Leo has little option but to expel her from the party

Yet another case that should have been greeted with with a quick 'would you ever feck off with your nonsense' the first visit to a solicitor, not a salivating slobber at the thoughts of money all round for the trough snufflers.

Jesus she comes across as one narcissistic kint.

I really hope this is thrown out

I believe they can, there is precedent for it.

Her legal representation in this case is the family law firm of colleague Josepha Madigan. It’s some country

They seriously have to start awarding costs against these chancers.
Once lawyers realise then they've no chance of getting paid they'll stop doing this crap.

The judge is in a tricky position now. They have to give a judgment on someone without being influenced by the coverage

They wheeled her out in front of the cameras the day after the story broke and put her next to E Murphy and Damien English. All smiles the three of them.

Leo is weak, and has no intention of canning her. The M.O. is to brazen it out for a week and hope that the story dies.

Eyes on a junior ministry the next time on the horse, and before you know it, she's Health Minister or Justice Minister - burning the gaffe down with incompetence for a cool six-figure salary.

That's how it works guys.

Hope the judge throws the case out now and makes her pay the costs.

At this stage it is a fraudulent claim (everything that is wrong with the industry at the moment) and this needs to be dealt with by the FG party too.

Maybe this will be the case that finally drives the government, the law and insurance industry to reforms

Ash.J.Williams

If she wants 60k so bad all she needs to do is submit some expenses

"The plaintiff was in severe pain. Her jaw was swollen and her bite was off line," her lawyers say, adding that she was "stiff and sore and had a severe headache".


ive had that after a night out
its called a hangover

She should be proscued and punished for her fraud and never be allowed to be involved in politics again ,

but then again there are more people with criminal convictions in the dail right now than you would find in the average north side pub

Sounds like insurance fraud

lisasimpson

What the number for the insurance faud hotline? There use to be an add on the radio about reporting suspect claims?

ChikiChiki

I think a follow up email in light of the new information demanding resignation would be appropriate. It is insurance fraud.
