If you feel I've abused you, (or anyone else for that matter) there's thankfully a report function on this site to deal with any abuse etc.

Furthermore, it's a bit rich for someone with such a post contribution in this thread (nevermind site wide) to accuse others of "having no life".

Irony to say the least.

Alan Kelly and Labour have been a far more coherent and effective opposite so far.

They haven't been able to take a strong line on golfgate though because one of their people, Lorraine Higgins, was at it.

You're still here? You're like the drunk at the afters of a wedding still propping up the residents after loudly telling everyone they were going after one more about three hours ago.

Highly amusing to see the Shinners hopping mad because they can’t cut the throat of this government (metaphorically speaking of course) due to a load of their supporters turning up at the funeral of a sociopath in Belfast. Completely hypocritical to be asking for resignations when you had scenes like this going on:

Mary Lou with a few members of the Army Council of the IRA.

The graveside selfie has replaced the masked gun salute in the Republican plot. I suppose that’s progress of a sort.

A small selection of the mourners bussed up from Mexico for the day. I believe these fine looking Gaels are from Tipperary, Cork, and Dublin branches of SF.

Complete hospital pass by SF. Alan Kelly and Labour have been a far more coherent and effective opposite so far.

I dunno she seems to have put it to this Government in a big way and people from all walks seem to be disgusted. Me hole buckling.

I know Lorraine Higgins. She has about as much to do with the Labour Party these days as Gerry Adams has with the IRA. Make of that what you will.

Kelly has been impressive so far, apart from his opening speech in the new Dáil.

It's not clear why exactly she wants it apart from being seen on social media. This week has been a FF mess on the new restrictions. Other things like the disease management nobody in LH can do anything about no matter how long they sit. I see it as more about frustration with the virus and a slightly silly assumption that politicians can do anything about it.

An auld half-hearted tweet isn’t going to cut it, dude. Might impress some of the more ‘simple minded’ folk who are attracted to SF, but won’t cut the mustard with Pat and Petula Voter.

SF had a chance to disembowel this government (metaphorically speaking of course) but now they have to keep schtum. They had Harry Potter on yesterday doing that tiresome thing he does where he talks down to people while speaking very slowly.

A bit of a spoofer that lad I’m beginning to think. Getting Simon Donnelly vibes off him. All fart and no follow through.

The Regina Doherty School of Spin.

There were senior members of FG there too. With the Green party seemingly happy to give it all a pass, it is a 'government' mess.

Well we've had requisite resignations and apologies so most of us are moving on to important thing like schools.

'Most of' who?

Most of FG? I'm sure they are only too happy to breathe a sigh of relief and move on...absolutely convinced you'd be delighted to do that.

A Fianna Fail sh1t sandwich indeed but again no left wing alternative save the entitled little prick Boyd Barrett frantically virtue signally or the wasted votes invested in the corrupted mess of thugs and morons in Sinn Fein. FG need to dump " Big Phil" - another glad handling spoofer who really belongs in Fianna Fail

Big Phil is beyond FG now, he's an EU Commissioner, who's just got a second term.

Was searching to see if that had been posted, how indicative is that of how these guys see themselves?

Having to chase Hogan for an apology too...an elite who think they are above us all, no other explanation for the whole rotten affair.

How can you describe Hogan as elite, he has the breeding and manners of an inbred feral cat. Only in his position because of his mate ,

He is above the lowly Irish government minions.

Personality nor manners were never bothered about when it came to joining the elite.

He can still be expelled from the party as a small paltry gesture, and should be if FG wanted to show any semblance of decency and respect for the people of Ireland who have sacrificed so much over the past 5 months. But they won’t because FG are not a ‘normal party’. They are an elitist shower of corrupt, inept spoofers and chancers.

I am 100% convinced MM and Leo knew about the big party in Clifden. And they knew Dara and Phil would be there. They need to be asked.

It would stretch credibility to think that they didn't know some sort of event was happening. They're both long-standing members of the the Dáil and this event is a well known one on the Oireachtas social calendar. Whether they knew the event was in violation of the restrictions is another thing.

MM definitely , Varadker too preoccupied with himself to notice so possibly not

Truthvader · 22-08-2020 12:06PM

Agree that FG should expell Hogan no matter where he "works" now. Something else occurrd to me. Does anyone know of a singal person from any party or organisation who turned down the invite to the golf dinner? Is there even one?

CrankyHaus · 22-08-2020 12:20PM

There are some politicians with committee positions who didn't attend. Presumably they would have been invited.

I can imagine the hassle Gardai will get this weekend over the ineptitude of our politicians if they try to break up house party's or clear any crowded pubs.
I just hope we all remember that we are still in a dangerous situation virus wise ourselves and that a lot of wrongs don't make a right.
A good few of our politicians have shown scant regard for public health measures and its put enforcement of the measures needed in jeopardy, they should be sanctioned legally and suspended from the Dail over this fiasco.
If they had any real honour they would resign their seats or jobs.
Sinn Féin making hay of this for political gain after the Storey funeral debacle is also in the realms of ridiculousness.
There's certainly no honour in their stance either given that debacle.

And if they weren't we'd have posts on how they were poor opposition like we did right up to MLMD speaking out about it.
Its another of the many situations were one doesnt cancel out the other.

I think you need to have a good look in the mirror there Shef because of all the posters in this thread it is you who is the most frequent one- 663 posts and counting or nearly 10% of all posts in this thread. Thats some going Shef and it also makes you look a bit silly when accusing others of spending all day on here when you're the very one who is doing exactly that.

Pressure is certainly mounting rather than diminishing on Big Phil and on Leo to address his role.
