Maria Bailey still “Seriously Injured”

The complete lack of self awareness and entitlement is amazing.

And using somebody's suicide is truly horrible.

The biggest mistake she made was pursuing something like that while being a public figure and of course anything like her making a claim over falling off a swing was going to end up in the news papers.

If she had simply said she wanted her medical expenses covered for treatment, chances are the hotel would have covered it through insurance but going for a big payout made sure it was never going to happen as it would have been gotten wind of by the media and turned into the circus, which it did.

Going for a 10km race a few weeks later certainly didnt help her case either, but that was just stupidity knowing she was going to take a case.

If she was some random person who put in a claim, chances are she would have got a payout of some description to just go away as things like this can drag on for months in court and end up costing more in legal fees than the payout itself.

The fact she received threats is definitely a bit over the top but you always get idiots hiding behind their anonymity targeting people any chance they get, when most would probably jump at the chance of a big payday if the sane thing happened to them.

Well, she claimed she got threats, looking for the sympathy imo

She also used her father's illness as an excuse for the car crash interview.

What an absolute mental case.

I'd have a smidgen of sympathy for her as she became a lightning rod for people and businesses absolutely fed-up with the insurance racket in the country.

But, she absolutely didn't help herself by carrying on like a classic South Dublin Karen that everyone is familiar with and was a member of a governing party that was and is quite unpopular for being snooty and entitled in the first instance.

She had a good run making it to the Oireachtas as a fairly low-talent politician in the first place, and would probably be served best served keeping quiet and starting a new career as a yoga teacher or something.

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.

The fall was in 2015 so 5 yrs after it yet like you say she was able to run a pretty decent time in a 10k 3 weeks after her fall but some how 5/6 yrs later is still seriously injured! Like how can you still be seriously injured 5 yrs later when you weren’t seriously injured in the first place you daft bint!!

She’s an out and out liar and if she gets more abuse because of her pathetic ‘poor me’ story now then she deserves every bit of it.

And to draw similarities between herself and Caroline flack is downright wrong.

Maria Bailey us a vile individual that will stop at nothing to ‘right’ the wrong she feels has been bestowed on her. She deserves every bit of bad luck that comes her way.

It really might have to be outside the self employed aspect, she is trying to get back into self entitled employment aka politics, paid a lot for fcuk all or incompetence.
She wont be able to sue herself for getting herself injured getting into a stupid dog pose or whatever they are called.

How can you have any sort of sympathy for it Yurt? She did that $hit to her ownself and she clearly has no awareness of how ordinary people and businesses such as myself are fed up with it, and yet she wants to be a 'public representative' and get all the trappings we also have to pay for that to go with it. No sympathy is required here. It just highlights how disconnected the likes of this article is from the rest of us that have unwittingly put her in the lofty position she feels she is twistedley entitled to.

I mean it can't be comfortable becoming public enemy number 1 and being Ireland's top national embarrassment for about a month, very few people are made of tough enough stuff for that not to effect them.

To be clear, she did it to herself and really doubled-down to make it worse, that's obvious to most people.

I really don't know why she's coming back to take another bite of the media cherry though; you'd think her husband or family would take her aside and tell her to let it go.

pgj2015 · 23-02-2021 1:27am

Why anyone would want to start a business in this country with lowlifes like her around looking for an easy few quid is a mystery. Insurance costs are a huge issue in Ireland for years now because of chancers like her. anyone that would ever give her a vote again would want their head examined. she is a con woman, simple as.

I think she used her maiden name in the claim so her real identity wouldn't be revealed, very sly but stupid at the same time.

Yet, she is coming back, she either is a dolt, no shame, a brass neck, so little experience/so much privilege that she doesnt realise how thick she is? one of them at least

These political party dynasty people ain't like you and me, they have literally no awareness of how to function in a society, they are so ultimately insular to the party ethos and mindset it is turned into the degree of a cult status. Nothing else matters only them and what they think they can get away with. She showed it up bigtime, that's why the rest of the willy FG crew ran so far away from her. But at least she showed it up, I will giver her that.

She's poison politically,Mod Snipped - There is no need for that type of comment!!

She worked in Aer Lingus for a bit I believe, at what exactly I don't know. Was elected as her father's running mate as a councillor in her 20s.

I just checked her wikipedia page to see what her background was. it is 99% about her claim :pac::pac:

The comments remind me of the comments on OJ'S twitter, he gets made fun of over the murder, she gets made fun of over her claim. id say its water off a ducks back to her.

An Ri rua · 23-02-2021 1:50am

LongSwingFall is no joke. It's insidious. You can be just walking past a playground or even watching that opening scene in Terminator and you can just come asunder...
It's not well documented here but where swings are more prevalent in nightclubs, out foreign, it's claimed a lot of bright lights so it has.

If there's a lot more to the story than people don't know..then tell us!
She's claiming the truth was taken out of her hands- then she should come out and tell us the truth.
And how she is still as she says 'seriously injured'.

We need an enquiry into the hospitality sector. Russian, or worse, Shinner, interference maybe??

1. They attempt to physically maim and then besmirch the name of this fine public representative.
2. They organised a party in Clifden and try to ensnare unknowing gobsh1tes who play judge and TD by day but, deep down, are just simple gobsh1tes.

I think we need to ban this hospitality craic.

Anyone that has ever had to buy any kind of public liability insurance (car insurance, occupiers liability insurance) in Ireland is entitled to be furious with this sleazy POS. Irish drivers, business owners, charity operations, community organisations etc. are being shafted without lube by bottom feeding parasites like MB and the lawyers who represent them.
