    Nothing about the £450k the DUP got from an unnamed source to fund posters and full page ads in London newspapers against brexit.

    Conveniently never brought up.

    I'm most surprised the dead guys name was "William"

    This is a non story being spun by bias media, not that I would piss on Sinn Fein if it was on fire.

    lovely way to launder a bit of cash if you think of it. get an aul fella sympathetic, get him to square it off with a solicitor and bobs yr dead uncle whos left you a few million all above board.

    That makes a lot of sense. But what political party and what leader would be able brazen such a thing out while keeping a straight face...
    LOL

    It’s very timely too, it’s costs a lot of money to drive Mary Lou to the endless pride parades.

    I shudder at the though that these criminals are looking to get into government.

    If they did get a long run in power and Ireland left the EU (or the EU broke up), it doesn't take too much fantasy to imagine an Ireland of the future potentially becoming a present day Venezuela.

    Brought up fairly regularly when discussing Brexit.

    I don't expect any better from them though. They don't sit in the dail or present themselves as representing me. Their incompetence, corruption and bigotry will yet be the end of them.

    Maybe even money well spent when I see how they have totally ****ed themselves. :pac:

    Yet another DUP councilor reported today securing thousands for sons business.

    They’re up to their neck in the aul shady dealings.


    But look over there! The SF are at it too!

    This story? https://www.irishtimes.com/news/politics/electoral-commission-drops-dup-brexit-funding-inquiry-1.3584872

    Yep, as you say, absolutely nothing about in the Irish Times! :rolleyes:

    It’s not anything like on the scale the SF story is though. Outlets up north are all over it. They weren’t with the DUP money.

    The DUP are not politically active in the RoI though. Far better off mentioning FF or FG.

    The Blame Game lads on BBC NI will make great hay out of this, if they ever get back.

    Was this 1.5m accounted for and taxed on by the old man?

    If not, the money should be taxed first and then donated.

    Silly woman! Instead of using her son's printing business for the job, she should have called up The Snod and asked him would he arrange to have them printed on one of his top notch laser printers! Snoddy's rates are much lower because the taxpayer supplies all of his consumables!

    Well DUH. Jesus.

    In order for the proceeds of a will to be distributed any outstanding tax must first be paid - clearly it's been examined by HMRC if they've determined there's no tax due to the beneficiary.
