    Jaysis just when you think she’d never be stupid enough to stick her head above the parapet again.

    I think the serious injury must be brain damage.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,994 ✭✭✭happyoutscan


    The only thing still hurt is her ego.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,311 ✭✭✭Jinglejangle69


    "I’ve had vile abuse online, some in person. Pretty scary stuff,” she said.

    "I had letters, I had phone calls of abuse, some disgusting stuff sent to me in the post. Threatening stuff, people telling me to jump off a cliff.”

    Nice.

    So she still doesn't believe it was her own fault, and everything that's happened since is because of other people. Right ya.


  • Registered Users Posts: 33,355 ✭✭✭✭NIMAN


    She's seriously injured a year after it but was able to run a 10k a couple of weeks after it.

    It's obvious she got some pr advise....lie low for a year then try to restart the career. Start by trying to get a bit of sympathy, say you are still feeling effects of the fall.

    Sounds like she's received a lot of stuff.

    At best, she aggravated a pre-existing condition so anything after that race is entirely on her.

    Or, you know, she's just lying.

    Go away Maria.

    She would have won her case against the hotel if she kept going with it.

    Exactly. All lies, every word of it. That's politics though so she'll do well.

    Swing...and a miss.

    Back to obscurity, maria.

    She's an idiot of the highest order, but nobody deserves that sort of crap. I often wonder what compels someone to write a letter or an e-mail to someone they don't know from a hole in the ground, simply to hurl what is often quite vile abuse at them. Unless it was the owners of the hotel, how have those peoples' lives been impacted by her actions?


  • Registered Users Posts: 28,836 ✭✭✭✭odyssey06


    When seriously injured from falling off a swing she ran 10k.

    Jumping off a cliff is probably intended as the prelude to an iron woman contest.

    There's a lot of begrudgery here in Ireland. It's inbuilt into the genes.

    Well she hopes to restart her political career so it's a good start. I love reading fiction :)

    I think she's wasting her time. I can't see her getting elected.

    Has she a crack in her brass neck?

    A lot of people that work in entertainment hospitality etc have been directly affected by people like here. Indeed anyone that pays insurance has been affected by people like her in that believe they are entitled to compensation for being thick.

    I actually don’t believe a word of the article she’s trying to garner sympathy pure and simple.

    Yes it is ridiculous someone sending emails/letters etc.

    But, does insurance fraud (if she had persisted) not affect us all?


  • Registered Users Posts: 896 ✭✭✭Get Real


    Jesus H Christ. Let it go. Ringing up the indo to try and make a "comeback special".

    Just, stop talking. You fell off a swing, could happen anyone, you weren't bungee jumping or skid your car off a cliff.

    I'd have more understanding if she just never mentioned it again, and tried to re-establish her political career. While we all, including her, acknowledge a cringey faux pas, and move on.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,277 ✭✭✭Your Face


    Every tired PR cliche is present in that article. All in an attempt garner sympathy.

    What a horrible person.

    Where did you get that correspondence was from " someone they didnt know from a hole in the ground"?? Perhaps, just maybe it was from constituents who had voted for her in good faith believing her credentials & bone fidas

    Trying to use Caroline Flack's death like that is a new low.


  • Registered Users, Subscribers Posts: 47,294 ✭✭✭✭Zaph

    Of course it does, and I firmly believe that she should have been prosecuted for that. But I don't feel compelled to go out of my way to tell her that I think she's a crook.


  • Registered Users Posts: 32,403 ✭✭✭✭gmisk


    The former TD said Caroline Flack’s death really “hit home” for her

    Christ....she is clearly desperate to garner some sympathy...pathetic really.

    Zero self awareness, she managed to torch a cushy job by getting greedy with what she thought would be an easy insurance cash grab.

    She is sick she didnt stick it out, after hearing you can get money for old rope in the Courts, she has some neck but not hard enough, she's an amateur compared to some, compared to The Luas Surfer, in hindsight she probably thinks she is worth at least 2 of them, at least, she is probably going to try wring something out of it, maybe 150k

    she's a swinger alright
