    According to herself she only wanted medical bills covered. However the medical bills were 7k and she was looking for 64k.

    If you're wanting a business to reimburse you for medical bills you incurred while doing something silly, there are better ways of going about it than to sue them for negligence, claim a lack of supervision and signage that instructed a 38 year old how a swing worked contributed to their woes.

    Then followed by spurious claims about not being able to run "at all", and the onslaught of headaches as a result of the swing.

    All the time, with the full knowledge of another FG party member who soon after became a minister.

    Leo initially telling us that he was sure that "the courts will do the right thing" which is pure unadulterated sit on the fence talk, then (apparently after hearing candidates were being met with a barrage of abuse on the doorsteps by a disgruntled electorate), tell us he "was angry" proves that Leo didn't or couldn't give a fcuk about one of his TDs telling lies in a personal injury claim, he just got angry after gauging public opinion.

    A textbook case of not being sorry - just sorry you got caught.

    Ireland incorporated in a nut shell.

    Every year is a busy year for Radser. He works tirelessly for the people of Ireland. He does waste his time sorting medical cards for individuals, getting people jumps in the planning permission process, or getting a road resurfaced. But he sticks to the important work of solving the nations big problems, and making it a better place for his fellow citizens.

    I just remembered the case of Senator Ned O’Sullivan from Kerry. Heard him on the radio a few months back

    The hotel he stayed in had one of those showers in the bath that you must climb into. He fell and got very badly injured
    Senator Ned O’Sullivan from Kerry spent more than a month in hospital after the fall three years ago which left him with a fractured sternum, 13 broken ribs, a punctured left lung, and the loss of the use of the lower left lobe of his left lung.

    He was unconscious for a time was discovered when his wife returned from shopping. Had to spend a month in hospital and two months recovering

    Despite the fact the bath was high and narrow and there doesn’t seem to a support rail he did not sue
    Mr O’Sullivan said he waited a number of years to raise the issue as he did not want it to be seen as part of a compensation claim, which he has decided not to pursue. He said he chose not to pursue a claim because he “didn’t want to be seen setting an example”.

    His goal wasn’t compo or even a headline grabbing demand to change every hotel room in Ireland. Just a reasonable request when new hotels are being built or existing hotels are being refurbished to install walk in showers
    Mr O’Sullivan has called on hoteliers involved in new builds or refurbishments to include walk-in showers.

    A politician trying to change things which is what they are supposed to do. I guess that’s leadership

    So, moral of the tail, if you vote for the right politicians you will get one's of integrity?
    Or, following from the Maria=>FG-bad brigade no one should vote FG, applying the same logic, Ned=>FF-good - everyone should vote FF?

    The Rape of Lucretia goes to quite a bit of effort. I have to admit being taken in by some of his previous posts.

    I really don't understand this. How can one waste so much time winding people up?

    Sad thing is that the people in the other parties in Ireland would be even worse, if you look at Bertie , Brian Cowen, the shinners etc

    Why do u say that. Did Bertie fall off a horse? Or did Cowen fall off a bar stool? Just asking.

    I think for the sake of the nation it'd be good if the current crowd (Coveney, McGuniness, McEntee, even wee Leo) stayed in place for continuity as regards Brexit - they've been doing a decent job in fairness.

    Nah, it'll be forgotten in a week unfortunately. All she/he has to do is try and weather it until the next scandal/opportunity to deflect comes up (although he's rapidly running out of easy-win social referenda to use!)



    FG have ALWAYS been as bad if not worse than FF (which is some achievement!). Look back at things like the Lowry scandal for example. The only difference is we haven't seen as much of it as they historically never get into power, except as a protest vote against FF (as they did in 2011).

    Ill be doing the inconceivable up to recently, of giving FF a vote come the next election. If it achieves nothing other than FG and primarily Varadkar losing power, Ill be delighted!

    Chancers. Bertie did not have a bank ac when he was minister for finance, and explained his good finances by winnings on de horses. As for Haughey...

    For me neither serve the Irish people. FF are pro publicans, banks and builders and FG are Europes lapdog, Richard Bruton had a top EU job after being Taoiseach, Phil Hogan has top EU job, Bruton and Coeveny have attended Bildeberg.

    Coveney is one of the very few cabinet members I'll credit in the current government. He makes an excellent Foreign Minister. In fact, I think this government would be a hell of a lot more palatable if he was Taoiseach; but, in their wisdom, the parliamentary party went for Leo the wise.
