We wouldn't be here today if he hadn't taped the conversation and the senior Gardaí (still unpunished) were allowed get away with their blatant lies at a Commission of Inquiry. It really is beyond condemnation. The Gardaí are still a corrupt shambles and I don't think Fitzgerald did a damn thing about it. How they let O'Sullivan retire with a huge payout after what she did is the reason I will not vote FG in the next election. I voted FG #1 and #2 in the previous 2 elections but they really achieve very very little.

It's in everyone's interest she goes.Doesn't bode well that the Justice Minister will at best turn a blind eye or at worst take part in Garda corruption.i can't believe people would rather have her in her position just to spite a party.

They spend their time trying to evade responsibility and accountability (Stormont and Westminster) so it's unclear how they can contribute anything to a discussion on either of those points as they related to office-holders.

Please stay out of politics or any public departments because your lack of patriotism and your corrupt mindset is exactly what this country doesn't need.
