The Irish electorate voted in a government that nominated Hogan as Ireland's EU Commissioner. That's how our democracy works. The next government we vote in will nominate a candidate of their choosing when it next arises. If you don't like that system of Irish governance or the EU Treaties under which commissioners are appointed, you can (democratically) campaign to (a) have a general election and vote in a different government (b) campaign (democratically) to change the Irish Constitution under which governments are elected, formed and empowered or (c) campaign (democratically) to hold a referendum to leave the EU. So you would be better off working the system - as soon as you understand it of course.

You are of course correct that we don't have a vote to elect EU Commissioners and we have had quite a discussion why that is the case. Personally I have never identified a cause that I was willing to devote a life long struggle to. I have spent shorter intensive periods working for change in different areas with varying levels of success. I'm sorry you feel you were insulted or the victim of sneering comments.

EU Commissioner Phil Hogan stayed in a Limerick hotel and ate at a restaurant in Adare on August 12, one day before his 14-day isolation period was due to expire. Multiple sources have confirmed to the Irish Examiner that Mr Hogan stayed in the Dunraven Arms Hotel on the night before he played a round of golf at Adare Manor.

Brian Hayes for instance, had no errand being there, theres a retired judge who may now require his entire case history reviewed. There's a sitting judge who can't sit in a court again. How many of these cosy little gatherings have happened in the last while?
