No bother, childishness is the only category he can beat the EU in.

If anything this saga is exposing Ireland ludicrous Covid rules particularly with regard to inter EU travel.

Hopefully EU recognise this and put pressure on our government to reform this.

Also people seem to forget that MM was rocking around after his trip to Brussels recently

People seriously need to look at bigger picture here and not get blinkered by their hate for Hogan and the establishment

Not the point at all. Whether the rules are ludicrous or not he chose to break them. Can we all do the same with rules we identify as ludicrous?
Also I don't think this is the main thing this saga has exposed. More the socialising of judiciary, media and politicians. Conflicts of interest everywhere. The likes of which you'd see in tin pot dictatorships.

If people not following the rules in this country lost their jobs because of it then there would be few employed now.

Bit of a witch hunt to my just because of who he is.

It is obvious from information from anywhere that many people are not following rules.

Who do you think MM should send out as his replacement? Who in FF deserved a nice reward?

Police in riot gear cleared out a bar where people were breaking restrictions.

A few cops used the batons to make their point

Do we know who built the wall though? You can't say the builder, and owner of the wall, were blameless in this.

Phil Hogan is today's version of Padraig Flynn.

It is true though, the Guards were indeed targeting him because of "who he is".

Its going to be even better fun if Hogan resigns and Michael appoints an FFer to take his place.

It will probably have to be someone with ministerial experience which seems to be in very short supply when looking at FF at the moment.

Dara Calleary & Barry Cowen could jobshare it. Dara drives and Barry talks.

He's a cross between P Flynn and Liam Lawlor.

He's a natural Fianna Failler but it wasnt elitist enough for him.

Plus he probably drove through 5 or 6 counties to hit this particular wall.

In fairness to his brother, according to his account, he was serving a travelling salesman but then refused another ginit. Nervous time for a publican. I backed up a publican against four such ingrates one evening. As Pee Flynn would say 'And I tell ya, ya'd wanna try it!'

His brother's antics don't really belong on this thread at all. He's not on trial. The witch-hunt is after big fishies.

Who sold him the car?

What make were the tyres?

What make of car?

The Germans/Japanese told him it was the car was fine.

Henry Ford must be held accountable for this.

Euronews are ramping it up now.

Two segments, one called the Brief and the other called the Cube focusing on it.

The Brief is discussing Covid Commission Ethics.

Someone else might have the finer details but do many recall that when Dr John Harbison was taken ill, a shroud of uncertainty hung over his more recent work. There was a worry as to whether cases would stick. IIRC.

Does Judge Woulfe's phenomenally poor judgement in 1. attending Clifden and 2. staying when the event clearly breached rules he delivered for government not leave him open to not merely political taint (point 1) but doubts over the refined nature of his judgement (2) and his ability to operate at Supreme Court level?

It's truly baffling, and galling, that a senior judge would place his office in such an invidious position.
