FG'ers at the dinner also it seems. Watch them both round the wagons now.

Examiner fella on Prime Time saying some high-ups in FG were present and their names will come out soon

I’m fuming at this.

Maria Bailey probably fell off her swing laughing when she heard this story.

He has a very low IQ?

This is beyond farce now. Can the Troika please come back and save us again.

As mentioned in post #10, some FG names are already out.

Edit - I wonder might Phil Hogan have been there - he was a regular participant in Oireachtas Golf events. That would be fun!

His lordship....lol....edgy

Maybe quote some other people too like tony Holohan.
At a media briefing on Monday, the Republic of Ireland's chief medical officer, Tony Holohan, said the images of the picnic appeared to show respect for the rules.
"I didn't see any pictures that are in violation of that involving the Taoiseach," he said.

I have never voted FG in my life, and I don't think he could afford me to be honest.
You have your own very clear agenda, it's pretty obvious. This is also not the topic of the thread...but you keep posting this garbage.

Any elected public representative who attended this regardless of party should be forced to resign.

Many of them are retired or no longer TDs/Senators.

Time for this gombean to go.

smelly sock

This will bring down the government and put the final nail in Martins coffin.

What a bunch of con artists in FF. A disgusting, horrible and selfish act from Callery considering the wider sacrafices people are being asked to make.

The hotel and society declined to confirm who had attended but the guest list included: Minister for Agriculture Dara Calleary and his wife Siobhan, Galway TD Noel Grealish, Senator Jerry Buttimer, Senator John Cummins, Senator Paul Daly, Senator Niall Blaney, former Fine Gael Senator Cáit Keane, Judge and former Attorney General Seamus Woulfe, the Moroccan Ambassador Lahcen Mahraoui, former Labour Party senator Lorraine Higgins, former Fine Gael Senator and TD for Sligo–Leitrim Gerry Reynolds, former Fine Gael senator Imelda Henry, Circuit Court judge and a former Workers' Party TD Pat McCartan, who serves as the vice-captain, and a number of others.

I accept that and they also obviously think they are too important to follow guidelines like the rest of us but anyone who is in office should be forced to go imo

Well all I can say is I expected better from Lahcen Mahraoui.

If one of them tests positive for Covid 19, will we see a long close contacts list?

How did they not think this would get out to the media.

Make you wonder really.

They can't be forced to resign their seats (although the Mayo Moron can be sacked as a minister), but the whip can be removed from them - as happened to Bailey.

Sack everyone of them, time to make a stand.

Probably the most worrying thing about all that’s been going on in the last few weeks is how it’s not even remotely sinister- it’s just amateurish.

There’s almost a part of the Irish psyche that begrudgingly admires ‘cuteness’ but what’s goin on here is just pure idiocy

I heard there was a trampoline there that the politicians were jumping up and down on.......
