Tbf the proof was doing rounds on political groups on discord

But noone will put neck on line and post the screenshots and risk being sued over GDPR.....some journalist is going to pick it up and flesh out with researched info and have backing of paper behind them

OK, and everyone agrees that there is something rotten about the NCH at James', will take a brave person to expose it though. And it seems to have gone off the radar at the moment also apart from a few mutterings here and there.

I suppose (with a sigh) there may be another Tribunal eventually about it.

Often wonder why the Fiscal Advisory Council don't rein this kind of overspend in at the start. But they are just advisory, and mostly ignored I suppose.

Oh and there is absolutely ZERO Investigative journalism at the moment and for a few years back too. Fear.

All too interested in the Kardashians and Instagram it would seem. The investigative journalist in Ireland seems to be long dead.
They'll write about the Kinahans and the Hutches and expose the belly of the murky underworld, but all seem to crap their pants writing about the goings on of Leinster House and those that frequent it.

Ownership and control of the Irish media is now in the hands of a very select few, who control exactly what news, half facts, and permitted opinions masquerading as news are reported.

imho Coveney would have been a much better choice for FG than Varadaker.
He has some polltical cop-on, worked at his job and was not all about image.

He would not have allowed Baileygate to fester

Coveney was the minister for housing made a claim about ending homelessness and then bailed out, personally I think he is a spoofer and looks down on the rest of us as blessed to have him willing to 'serve' in government.

I've just noticed that Leo (or whoever mans his twitter account) has finally changed it to "LeoVaradkar" as opposed to the previous "campaignforleo" - something I've called out here numerous times over the last few years as being the perfect example of what the man is all about.. Himself!

I surely couldn't be responsible for such a move, but just in case - hi Leo/interns!

His twitter is so lame. In the true sense. Videos of him talking about this plan and that plan and opening places and visiting schools.
He seems to be advised that that’s how modern leaders communicate now.
To be fair it is far more communication that any previous Taioseach but it’s just so cheesy and pathetic it’s really rather embarrassing.
Twitter like.

he's about 100 times more modest, civil, honest and capable than Leo, but that's not a very high bar.
The look written all over his face is "how long can I stick these scumbags in FG" . . he's not going to last.
Decent honest people never do.

Never a truer word spoken SG. Irish Journalism is all the poorer these days without Vincent.

Coveney was far too close with Peter Sutherland for my liking. He is not the answer.

WishUWereHere · 30-06-2019 03:25PM

FG seem to be doing nothing on this charade in the hope of it dying a quick death.

We ( the public ) must NEVER let this thread die until such time as Leo and His gang take the appropriate action.

Indeed. Sutherland believed that there was too much "homogeneity" in European countries, and he wanted to change that. Homogeneity = the quality or state of being all the same or all of the same kind.
Coveney was greatly influenced by Sutherland, which is why we hear him making statements like he wants to see diversity in every town and village in Ireland. The flood gates will truly open to non-EU countries if Coveney gets the leadership position.

So is Leo, and I'd still take Coveney anyday over the other scum, it's not as if the best person is ever going to get near any political office in Ireland . . it's the least worst is all you are going to get to choose from. From those in the running with any realistic chance who do you suggest then ?

"Appropriate action" will be taken by the voters of Dub Laoghaire-Rathdown; they're the ones who put her into the Dail and they'll be the ones who decide whether or not to return her there. It's called "democracy" (look it up!).

It will be interesting to see whether or not her local constituency organisation nominates her as a FG candidate for the next GE. I'd say that daddy will be working flat out to ensure that she is nominated - although she may throw in the towel to avoid potential humiliation.

Don't think Leo and Co. are too worried about posters on boards.ie bumping an obsolete thread.

Appropriate action isn't about Bailey IMO, the real question is whether they'll look into amending the acts governing liability for accidents to place more responsibility on a customer of a business for their own clumsiness, and not on someone else just because the accident happened to occur on someone else's property.

Absolute poppycock and balderdash.

This thread jumped the shark about 3 thousand posts back. It’s now just a chat thread for about 8 people in a state of perpetual outrage.

True, but I think the people want action long before a GE comes about. And for me, I think the heirarchy in FG are sh1t scared to take action, rather let the people decide come a GE, as You state above.

You may be right PPL, but where else can the public keep this Bailey thing in the public domain? Every little bit helps, and am certain boards can do it's 'bit'.

Again, very naive. Tell me this much, the next time you are paying car, house, health, liability or life insurance, will Bailey's fraudulent claim come into your head? Be honest.

It will be more than just the voters of Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown that will get to vote on whether they want a party in power that embraces fraudsters and scam artists that are costing us all money, and they will be reminded of that every time a renual demand lands on the mat.

For honesty and integrity vote Anyone But Fine Gael.

They actually should be.
They rely on people for votes and people demand honesty.

And as long as this thread stays bumped more people will read it, or the important bits.
Or will just be reminded of Bailey and Farrell.

Or be reminded of high insurance costs here due to a number of factors.
