If he was entitled to diplomatic immunity here (as an Irish citizen in the Irish state , that is doubtful) do you think Phil Hogan would be issuing excuses and apologies? S(ame goes for the EU on his behalf) Big Phil would just tell all and sundry that theh are plebs, and to get phucked, and then turn off his phone off guffawing at it and muttering under his breath.

I don't think he is.

He worked his way into a powerful position of influence in Europe. We need him there and his replacement will not be Irish, most likely. He has apologised, he was definitely misled, and he should NOT resign over it. He's good at the job and we need him there.

sabine weynard is the real chief, hogan is the figurehead

In fairness he's not alone. There's plenty on both sides with skeletons.

What I can't understand is this idea that he's indispensable. If he had his way he would be at the WTO now.

No one is indespensible but FG don't want Biffo or Caleary going in his place

Neither of them were golfers I'd imagine!

You could be right. He didn't convince though and it turned into a shambles.

Maybe it was a reward for trying to push it through.

I think if you were part of the British team you would be glad he was representing the EU. Lots of cards to play

How can an Irish Citizen have diplomatic immunity. That's really taking the biscuit.
So he literally doesn't have to respect the law of the land because he works for the EU of which Ireland is a member?
Surely not.

Lundstram

Did Big Phil do anything legal last week?

It differs from state to state; not sure what the position is in Ireland.

I'd say that was part of the quid pro quo for implementing water charges in the first place. That idea came from the EU. Something like.

"If you manage to convince Irish people that they need to pay for water then you've a job waiting for you in Brussels. If you do that you could sell ice to the eskimos!"

You could be right. He didn't convince though and it turned into a shambles.

"on his way from Kilkenny to Clifden, the Commissioner stopped briefly at his apartment in Kildare for the purpose of collecting personal belongings and essential work documents relating to negotiations which continued while he was in Galway".

I'm not over-familiar with the regulations/guidelines/whatever: would there be a problem with this if he didn't stay overnight in Kildare?

He should have penalty points applied for that just like the rest of us.
