FG to still just do nothing for the next 5 years - part 2

Haha, the irony of you posting this after the conspiracy theories and waffle you have spam this thread with is amazing.

I'll rephrase the question, can you provide back up that they went through a checkpoint, and were not turned back because they were going to a golf event, where you and I would have gotten a ticket?

Once a Garda was involved and drove across the boundary of the restricted area a 'checkpoint' was breached.

The Garda was the checkpoint as the upholder of the regs.

Not turned back = Waved through ???

Or maybe its just reasonable to say that they drove through the checkpoint,, and were not turned back,, because they had a golf do to attend ???

That's what I'm asking you to back up, are you able to do that?

Sounds more reasonable than some of your other nonsense.

Maybe they used a tunnel to go under the checkpoint ?

If a Garda driver left Kildare to drive somebody to an entertainment in Galway...a 'checkpoint' was technically breached as the Garda has a duty to enforce the regs first.

Sounds like I'm back in leaving Cert poetry with all the hidden meanings in what someone said. Im asking for back up for what he actually said, if he can't provide that we should move on.

I responded to a statement from satguy which I asked him to back up, there was no question.

Phil Hogan made an absolute balls of Irish Water and there were major question marks around the contracts and crony appointments too.
Enda rewarded him for massive overspend and utter ineptitude by getting him a saucy job in Brussels. Now Phil is back leading bad example and proving just how much FF and FG are joined at the hip. Why would Hogan attend a FF event to honour a former FF TD from Galway?

It's a perfectly valid question to ask on behalf of those observing the lockdown.

Quite possibly, so even more reason not to be making up stuff about checkpoints.

They don't have to have been found to have gone through a checkpoint, there were Gardai there ignoring what was a breach of the regs. That immediately lands it on it Drew Harris's desk as a disciplinary matter surely?

What, are you telling there are no checkpoints ??

I live in a county in lockdown,, there are lots checkpoints. People are turned back, but it seems if you have a Garda driver and are off to a nice golf do,, you get through..

Right, so they passed that one, where you and I would get a ticket, but they were waved through. That's the claim? Please back this up now or stop waffling.

Looks like you did make this up about checkpoints, unless you can provide a source.

While I doubt anyone will provide indisputable evidence about minister's and TDs being waved through checkpoints, there's first hand eye witness accounts** of Gardai being at the hotel, one would imagine to provide security to our esteemed political upperclass (and the Moroccan ambassador) not to mention a supreme judge also in attendance.

**Poster on this site who claims they where staying in the hotel and where in fact will still be there until Saturday.

Exactly, I doubt it will be provided either so we can probably add it to the growing list of nonsense that he posted in this thread.

This fcuk up will cause enough damage to the government without making stuff up.

Anyway this was another incredibly stupid thing to do, reopening of the country is difficult enough without repeatedly shooting yourself in the foot.

OK,,,, are any of us happy with what we have seen from FG/FF/GP so far..

Is it just me, or has the whole thing been one mess after another.. it's been a cluster**** ..

And now their all in the pub drinking, having a great time..

Well, there is another thread about the Government.
In terms of FG, they are by far the best out of the 3 in government and will do well in any upcoming election.

But hey, you did vote for FF. How is THAT working out for you?

Some of them travelled from counties in lockdown,, The Gardaí waved them through checkpoints, while you or I would get a fine..

There was at least 3 judges, who should know the law,, the same shower just gave the Garda powers to fine you if you have the neighbours round for a drink.. The same judge would fine you for having more than 6 in your home.

And best of all,, Some had Gardaí drivers sitting out in the car park to bring them home...

You really could not make this stuff up !!!
