Probably out golfing trying to get her handicap down.

Big week this week with schools going back.
If this goes balls up this govt is going to be at an end.

Ditto. Even if I had the time I wouldn't be spending it here.

They lost their socks to the bookies in the govt formation talks, Marko. Remember when they waded in with a big wedge on the Green party IMPLODING :p
Wouldn't pay much heed to their predictions.

The Green Party was at 3% in polls on the weekend.

This government is just 58 days old.

Unbelievable that so much has happened in that time. Shambolic.

58 days!

Does some one else have access to your username/password combo Matthew? Otherwise you do have some time, and you chose to spend it here, telling us that you didn't have time, and even if you had it, you wouldn't be spending it here.

Martin tying himself up in the knots on Claire Byrne. Also threw Hogan under the bus.

Someone dive in and save Michael...he is drowning on Claire Byrne

Martin is now throwing out the auld look over there at SF. Talk about drowning.

FrancieBrady · 24-08-2020 10:05AM

Update:

This has now accounted for the following

A TD and Minister
A Leas Ceann Comhairle in the Seanad
A vice chairman of FF
6 Whips lost
A supreme Court judge under fire
An EU commissioner gone rogue in Europe
Deputy Leader of Fianna Fail

So the politicians, the judiciary, the guards, the clergy, the Little fella, Dustin, the councilors, the Hotels, all golfers, are so far getting the ire of the ‘lefties.

Any word from Jedward, the corrs, the yella vests, the crusties, the woke, the gas lighters and the hoodies?

The caddies must have been there too

Out.... out with the lot....

Now.....who’s next to go.

As much as I dislike FG I always had a sneaking admiration for Inda an old school dealmaker type politician not a hideous right wing marketeer like Leo and Murphy etc. He'd be too cute to be make such a balls up.

As for the current controversy it would end until that fat pig Hogan is on the hook the arrogance of many of the ruling class finally coming back to bite them.

Weather was brilliant, bit cloudy today but warm, everyone is tanned, check the weather record for the last 3 weeks if you dont believe me, we do have more beaches than any other county and ours are sand not gravel. More arable land than most of the West as well. Get the impression that your only knowledge of Donegal comes from an episode of Batchelors Walk

This jolly now seems to be doing more damage to Fine Gael than FF and the event was in honour of a recently deceased FF politician.

And it is still rumbling on today. Woulfe has gone into hiding now and big Phil has left the country. This will is going to go on especially when it is revealed who Brian Hayes guests were. Anger is still there.

There's absolute fury in Kildare over Aine Brady and her breaking lockdown for a jolly up it wont end till she resigns from her charity gig.

Why do you say that?

I just can see the woods for the trees - the social distancing guidelines are easily broken at times, whether it's at a photo shoot, or grieving mourners.

It must be disappointing for you however to be called out on your hypocrisy, you try to play the neutral impartial observer, but it doesn't fool me I'm afraid.

Now let's get back to you wanting shinners resignations because they broke some social distancing guidelines at a funeral, but not a whimper about Garda Horkans funeral, or leo and chums gurning for photo opps.

You sound more and more like Phil Hogan with every post, justifying, explaining and whataboutery to defend the Sinn Fein breach of Covid-19 guidelines in respect of the thug's funeral.

Same could be said of you sounding more like Michael Martin trying to defend his dysfunctional government.

Wrong blanch, wrong.

I'm not defending the funeral, I said from day one they should all have known better - but the uncomfortable truth is, you cannot scorn one funeral without the other.

You presumably are scornful of the Garda funeral that the mourners broke guidelines, or are you going to tell me covid knows the difference in who the mourners are?

FrancieBrady · 24-08-2020 02:20PM

Funny the MoJ can intervene when a SC is fraternising with people she shouldn't but not when a Supreme Court judge is fraternising with people he shouldn't be.

The likes of Brady, Hayes, Woulfe and few others have all gone to ground and won't be sticking their heads out till this fiasco has gone away. I know the list of attendees has been available on various sites but it would need the media to publish a detailed list of each person that was at the event and their links to politicians. I'd say if that happened you might see a bit more outrage.

Not funny or strange at all.

The constitutional separation of powers applies in the case of the Supreme Court, not in the case of the other tribunal.

Have you any comment on the Clifden 81 that doesn't involve Sinn Fein? Sad.

You have used semantic technical arguments about the timing of lockdowns to defend Sinn Fein attendance at the funeral of a criminal thug, those arguments look similar enough to Phil Hogan's.

I don't accept either, by the way.
