    FFS all this po faced puritanical virtue signalling. Cowan barely over the limit, michelle ONeill travelling to Dublin, mary Lou traipsing around Belfast, measuring who was where at a funeral. All bollockology of no relevance to anything

    Ah, now. This lockdown has had a peculiar affect on some. Don’t be a spoilsport.

    There have been plenty drunk behind the wheel. Plenty absolutely pissed..

    And plenty over the legal limit.

    They don’t always mean the same thing..

    Simple: you can be over the limit and not pissed or drunk..

    Look at those that get caught many hours after their last drink. The next morning type examples..

    Anyway, regardless, he should be sacked

    The breath test is to test for alcohol levels. It’s not a drunk test.

    Not necessarily.

    Drunk is an ambiguous term when applying it to every situation.

    Hence why he was not convicted of “drunk driving.”

    Nobody ever was so.

    More interested in the likely event that it was kept quiet, put in a drawer somewhere, until now. When Clare Daiy was harangued for nothing.
    Troubling smell of bias from the media.

    The optics of Cowen having a ministry over Calleary looking even more questionable now.

    A lot of unrest in the FF ranks. That O'Callaghan fella is positively seething. Miriam will remember that next time she has Micheál in front of her.

    As someone said in the other thread, it was probably known about and filed in the "wait till he's a minister drawer". Had that been reported at the time I'd say it would hardly have raised an eyebrow.

    Unless you are saying it is ok for a senior minister to drink drive aas long as he serves his time/pays his penalty?

    Is that what you are saying?

    Hasn't it.

    Suddenly many people are ok with the Healy-Rae it's ok to drive over the limit school of motoring safety.

    And the it's ok for a TD to break the law Michael Lowry school of ethics in political life.

    There was a time not that long ago when a Garda would turn a blind eye to such an occurrence, more likely if said TD was an FFGer, less likely if the TD was PBP or SF. One wonders were they slower to inform the local journalist re this TD because of the political party he was in.

    This coming from a poster btw that keeps banging on about selected events from a conflict that ended more than 20 years ago. Breathtaking hypocrisy.

    As did Ferris and Ellis yet people seem incapable of moving on.

    Some people celebrate some things they did, but not all things they did. Not everything in life is as black and white as you see it, or more to the point as you paint it to suit your little agenda.

    That is what he's saying by the looks of it.

    And some are aware of it and more interested in the policies of 2020.

    I'd even give FG a vote if I thought they genuinely would tackle housing. Honest to God, FG.
    I suppose now you'll infer I'm a self entitled West brit pimping the tax payer out to Goldman Sachs

    If you want to label calling out the rank hypocrisy of FFGers and their fellow travelers on this site and elsewhere as having an agenda, fine; whatever blows your hair back.
