    What an absolute shambles.

    The only upside I can see is that, regardless of the continuing decline of quality journalism around the world, we're finally seeing some proper watchdog mechanism in action. It almost feels old school to even see it happen.

    I think it's fair to say, the members of the Oireachtas Golfing Society won't forget their 50th Anniversary bash. The planners of the 60th have a tough act to follow.

    Another thing that really irritates me about this shabby saga is that an absolute walking rectum like Donie "the rug" Cassidy appears to be the "brains" behind this event.

    How a complete and utter douchebag like him still has the clout to summon the great and the good to such an event is mind boggling. I can only assume that there was a free bar.

    Cullinane :rolleyes: repeatedly shouting "breached the guidelines"

    Remind us again what your own party leader and most of her spokesperson were guilty of a couple of weeks back there David?

    Just because he might be a hypocrite wouldn't necessarily make him wrong, though. If calleary went, hogan really has to go too. Cant see any other way round it. Others too.

    All he's making clear with this statement is that, aside from being an arrogsnt pirck, he is also intellectually challenged. He did breach guidelines and he knows it, saying otherwise just shows how lowly he thinks of us mere fools.

    My understanding is that Michelle O'Neill was the only one to have 'breached the guidelines' (by allowing the selfie), she apologised, she shouldn't have done it but I wouldn't equate a selfie with an 81 person political shindig

    Just said on Newstalk that it’s believed he’s resigning.


    Sickening to listen to Shane Coleman repeating ad nauseum that he felt sorry for Dara Calleary. He did not think he should have to resign. :mad:

    Fair play to Sarah on radio one.

    Seems no one is available to come on and talk including hotel rep, Sean O'Rourke etc

    Hotblack Desiato........... Anything to say for yourself? :D

    Not me - fully agree with what he had to say though.

    If we'd been passing through the hotel lobby at the time these fcukers were arriving and glad handing each other I'd have been raging.

    I'm raging about that cnut Hogan flying in from Brussels putting us all at risk and not a single fcuk given :mad:

    I'm partial to your abracadabra,

    I'm raptured by the joy of it all.

    Dukes saying a supreme court judge shouldn't have to resign for breaking the rules. Prime example of the contempt ALL establishment figures have for us.

    Awful arrogant man. Hopefully

    Alan Dukes telling Sarah McInerney that Hogan or the judges need not resign. :mad:

    She grilled him about the judges but Dukes did not budge.

    Seems to be taking the narrative that he's to blame, he made the mistake and no-one else and apologizing to everyone he has let down. As we have seen before, the electorate love nothing better than to get behind a politician they feel has been hard done by.

    Can see him getting a strong vote next time out...
