    So let me get this right, someone pointed out the scandal that was NAMA and straight away the comebacks from the usual FF and FG lads here and Blanch the green is Sinn Féin

    Some shocking stuff coming out of NAMA. A deal was done where no minutes or no records were kept and one of the people involved in the deal was playing both sides and NAMA think it was ok. But hey welface fraud cheats us all. We really do have our priorities screwed up in this country. Wear a suit and look respectable and you can get away all sorts but wear a tracksuit god help you. Rotten to the core. If they want to clean up fraud in this country it needs to start at the very top.

    Was it Noonan again? Hopefully we get some findings from the investigations outside of FG's reach.

    Another Twitter dump we are supposed to take at face value.

    No idea what you are talking about, no articles in mainstream media yet, not going to watch a video just because you post it.

    There might be something in what you say, but Brian Stanley is not a credible intelligent source, so will wait for something substantial before commenting.

    Fingers in the ears 'la, la, la'? The video isn't some youtube rando. If it were in the mainstream media you'd have issue with the journo.

    FYI: it's verified that no minutes were taken and no written record kept. Oireachtas committee.

    Why is he tweeting something from 2019 :???:
    Nama was selling stuff for thrupenny bits

    Ah Botty, I think you need to go back and have a look at it. The footage is from now Oct 2020 but they are discussing NAMA's financial Report for 2019.

    I will accept your apology.

    For you botty, have a look at the date.

    https://youtu.be/stk178gziZ0 this was the 8/10/2020.

    As I said, not going to look at some no-mark TD making a name for himself at the Spanish Inquisition. If some serious media pick up on it, I will comment.

    So all TD's are out as a viable source. Some can you specify the serious media that you speak of?

    Fact, there were no minutes or notes taken. The NAMA chap concurred. Now you know. Any thoughts?

    Blanch has no thoughts unless told what to say. Sure he even rules out TD's now. Dying to know what the media is that he speaks off, probably the Journal or waterfordwhispers.

    Ah lads, here, you can't call yourselves a reliable source!!

    As for TDs, I said no-mark TDs, I didn't say all TDs. For example if Violet or Reada said to do something, I would instantly be certain that it is probably the worst option available. On the otherhand, if someone like Richard Bruton or Michael McGrath or that new FG TD from Dun Laoghaire is talking, there might be something in what they are saying because they are fairly intelligent people with a good grasp of public affairs.

    So tell what is a reliable source? Just spit it out, its not that hard.

    So far the sources presented on this issue have been:

    1. Twitter
    2. A no-mark SF TD
    3. A likely tedious video with no summary of its content that I won't be bothered wasting my life looking at
    4. An anonymous poster on boards with a penchant for conspiracy theories


    If you can't see the problems with those sources, I can't help you any more.

    Stop going around the houses and say who are Your reputable sources? Come on just name them.

    It's a clip from an Oireachtas committee where all sides agree no notes, minutes or records were taken of the deal. Do you want MM or LV to agree first?

    To be clear you are unwilling to acknowledge facts because it puts NAMA and FG in a bad light. That's the gist. All your blarney about no mark TD's etc. is pointless. Just an FYI.

    He probably wants the Bishop to make a statement first. All this is is another avoidance tactic from Blanch. He has now dismissed the PAC and TD's and he won't name in black and white what he deems as credible sources. I mean if the Oireachtas and the C&AG report is not enough for him sure what can ya do.

    He won't name what he thinks are reliable sources because he knows he won't have a leg to stand on. It suits him to throw up rubbish like he did above rather than come out and say well I would consider the independent as a reliable source, not many would, but he wont.

    We wont hear from Blanch now for a day or 2, been caught out again

    Imagine dismissing the PAC or the Oireachtas as a source or an elected TD to Dáil.

    I think a few of them have lost it, sure you had Botty saying that the clip I posted was from 2019 and asking why was I posting a clip from 2019, of Blanchie boy liked that post, I had to point out to Botty that it was from 2 days ago. I think he has been switched off now. :)

    As always, focussing on the poster, not what s/he posts, with the usual personal digs thrown in.

    Typical answer again look over there are the shinners yet ignore everything else. Absolutely pathetic. SF are living rent free in your heads that you cant see what is going on around you.

    Do you think this is acceptable? Oh yeah and I will point out SF were not involved in this.

    https://twitter.com/BrianStanleyTD/status/1314223031716327425

    So, getting back to the point originally raised, from what the article says, I agree SF were not involved in this, but neither it seems, were FF, FG, the Greens, SDs, Labour or even myself. It seems that the C&AG have taken to task an independent statutory body for mistakes that they made. It seems you only threw this out as a distraction.

    I will accept your apology.

    I see that now,I'd have seen it better if I had of played the video in full screen mode instead of small as all I could make out was the 2019 at the time
    No need for me to apologise, I only asked a question
    You answered
    Nothing wrong with Brian Stanley by the way,there's a prosecutors job lost in him

    I'm more interested today into why a close contact of a positive covid 19 case has not been tested yet 9 days after the contact: personal experience
    Little wonder cases are rising :mad:

    I see a single SF vote there, but a combined FF vote way higher.
