Charged a 35euro fly jab to public. Who can forget Aongus O Snodaigh charging 20k of printing to the public. Don’t put forward invalid expenses if you are not going to put the full picture across.

joeguevara wrote: » I may be wrong and am open to correction but Westminster expenses (including travel) are separate to Stormont expenses. Even though Stormont hasn’t sat since January 2017 it is strange that they would claim expenses for that even though they give out about TDS claiming expenses when they don’t attend Dáil Éireann, but to claim Westminster expenses when they absent themselves is more questionable. We are both in agreement that invalid expenses are widespread among TDS but you did post a tweet only mentioning non SF TDS claiming them. Why do that if you admit that SF are equally guilty?

It just shows how financially illiterate that SF economics are. The billions being spent by the government aren't sustainable and we still don't know how bad the implications will be. Short term is just bearable but there's no way it can realistically continue
FrancieBrady wrote: » Did you miss the news reports about SF and others meeting, daily, in the press when they were happening? You know, when FG were huffing about going into opposition and FF were furiously trying to wipe the memory of Michael lying to the public about his intentions i.e. not going into government with FG? Do you know what Shefwewd? That sounds VERY MUCH like a lie to me.
Runaways wrote: » Tbh I’d say they probably don’t. I dunno. That’s just a free for all buffet for all involved. Fg have a unique brand of arrogance and them going over more than any other party speaks to that and makes sense.

joeguevara wrote: » Here is an article on them claiming Westminster expenses even though never voted. The article raises the army council thing but that is nothing to do with my point. The reason I raise the expenses is you explicitly raised other TDS doing it without any mention of SF. If you are going to lambast FG (as you should because it’s shameful) but you can’t disregard SF doing the same thing.https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-ireland/uup-calls-for-end-to-sinn-fein-120k-a-year-westminster-expenses-38680384.html

FrancieBrady wrote: » Well maybe because the power swap party's have hoodwinked the electorate? One of them, happy enough to go into opposition and the other swearing blind it would not go into coalition with SF or FG. And here we have the two of them cozying up to one another. Charlatans of the highest order.
