Fine Gael TD sues Dublin Hotel after falling off swing

If she wins there will need to be someone supervising every swing in the country because of the legal precedent. Most playground owners will simply remove the swings. The same could well apply to other playground activities.

Lets hope the circuit court judge sees sense and throws the claim out

Hit a nerve did I? We have a serious problem with an apathethic and selfish electorate only interested in what their local gombeen can do for them. And that is only one reason why we are where we are with health, housing, judicial system, the list goes on.

We need to look at ourselves.

Wow you are a real expert. Can you give any answers besides looking at ourselves?

I just sent the following email to Maria Bailey and copied several of her Fine Gael colleagues. Please feel free to copy and paste if you are in agreement.

I wrote a similar email as yours. Joke of a party.

Dear Deputy Bailey,

I am writing a short email to advise that due to your decision to take legal action against a Dublin hotel, seeking damages up to €60,000, I will not be voting for any Fine Gael candidate in the upcoming local and European elections this Friday 24th May.

Insurance costs are rising significantly in Ireland due to the volume of compensation claims that are being entered via our legal system, and a compensation culture is creeping into our society. I believe that your high profile case displays a lack of leadership as an elected official, and for this reason I will not be voting for any member of your party this coming Friday, despite doing so in recent elections.

If you can't make use of a swing without supervision, something a child or 4-6 can easily master, of which you intend to make an outrageous claim which MAY have the following consequences:

- Requirement of supervisors where even there is a swing, i am sure country councils do not have budget for this.
- Private individuals in the company of their own homes could be subject to legal action if a child/adult not of their immediate family is injured using a swing due to "lack of supervision", with possibility of increased home insurance costs.
- Private companies/parks would be subject to same as private individuals but with possibility of increased business insurance costs.
- Increase general insurance for any person including health, car, travel to cover claims costs.

I am copying into this email:
Leo Varadkar TD as leader of Fine Gael
Josepha Madigan TD whose family law firm are representing you in this case
Maria Doyle who is standing for election in my electoral ward on 24th May
Linus English who is standing for election in my electoral ward on 24th May

Yours sincerely,
Sour Lemonz

All she said was that Bailey -Ryan had a right to take a case. Which she has.

Just as I have the right to run across the M50 blindfold at rush hour if I want to.

I'll make a prediction though. If by some miracle she manages to hold her seat in the next election, Ms. Bailey-Ryan will spend the rest of her time in Dáil Eireann warming the backbenches.

Deputy Doherty's secretary replied to me already stating that, and as correct as it is I do think Deputy Doherty should not have commented rather than making an irresponsible comment such as this. In my mind she is endorsing the claim being taken by Maria Bailey, when the claim should be admonished. It sends an appalling message to everyone in the country, if you are involved in an accident for which you are responsible you still have a right to take a case.

She should not have any right to take a case where she is liable for her actions. These type of claims and cases need to be stamped out of this country as soon as possible.

I can't believe your name is Sour Lemonz.

That's awesome. I hope you're not too bitter about your parents.

You may want to add Alan Farrell's email address to that, or maybe mention him in the email too.
alan.farrell@oir.ie

Quote from Alan Farrell a month before his compensation claim:
https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/politics/the-floating-voter-compo-culture-means-kids-cant-run-in-the-school-yard-fine-gael-td-says-37010508.html

Children are banned from running and kicking footballs in school yards due the soaring cost of insurance, a Fine Gael TD has said.
Dublin Fingal TD Alan Farrell said it is “obscene” and “madness” that children are being banned from exercising in some schools due to high insurance premiums.
Mr Farrell said: “They will not allow the children run or kick a ball above waist height… because you might hit a kid in the head, scratch their head and the parent will sue.” “You can’t stop a child from exercising and I just think it’s wrong,” he added.

Does anyone know who managed the broadband/hospital tenders?
Do FG bring in their own people or is it run via the civil service?

You certainly do not have that right, there are actually by-laws against that, she on the other hand is guilty of being an utter moron unfortunately nothing more.

nothing surprises me with a party like Fine Gael

Haha ha.

Do you know what happened the country in 2008?

And who was at the wheel at the time?

But back to this halfwit of a woman, she is starting to get a lot of flak on the radio etc, and it's making FG look bad.

I can see Leo telling her to knock the claim on the head.
