His resignation mentioned on DeutschlandFunk news just now.
Resigned due to not complying with Corona social distancing regulations according to the report.

I'll be looking forward to the sympathetic obituaries from certain quarters tomorrow.

Great news. His ignorance was his downfall

He was on a trade webinar with US & EU diplomats, Business Execs (including microsoft) and various other people of profile.

Had "technology" issues at the start so was late. Then joined and said his piece and stated fairly suddenly when another speaker was talking he had to leave and said a further piece. Then left.

There was no inkling of him resigning.

He's sixty now , he'll have a pension most of us can only dream about and he'll walk into another high powered position. He'll likely be better off
Why don't the other 80 lose their jobs too if it's all about fairness.

Because maybe Ursula has more b@lls than our brave and fearless leaders.

He should be sacked, he shouldn’t be allowed to resign.

Typical Germans. The auld Rommel get out clause.

Hopefully, they'll go to the trouble of strafing his car and all. Would the only good thing the EU battle group ever did.

Correct. He was rewarded for utter incompetence. For creating the God awful mess that was the Irish Water superquango.

I believe it’s called a sideways promotion.....

The EU president is elected by MEPs that are elected by people.

Similar to how a Taoiseach is chosen.

Is the president of the EU a MEP

Trust, it takes a long time to build and a moment to destroy. I don’t think ould Phil gave one sh:te about Ireland in his cushy office in Belgium.
Those who saw him as some kind of Brexit Saviour..... ha I’ll see your Brexit and raise you Mercosur.

Yes, because that's exactly the same thing!!!!

Well spotted!!

At least Hogan can cheer himself up that AGS didn't give him the two penalty points.

Slice of humble pie for Phil. Jump or be pushed. Plenty of time for golf now.

Don't think he was ever going to be sacked, this was all about his severance package nothing more (although I'm sure he asked) nothing less (definitely)

Elite

Likewise, can anyone point to why he should have been made resign his EU job, which had nothing to do with Ireland

Standards in office I suspect. He didn't just go to the golf, there were many other adventures along the way which went against the guidelines and restrictions we are living under.

That’s a massive generalisation, I would say that they have less experience and tolerance of the toxic culture of Irish politics which Phil was clearly very familiar with.

Yesterday, my German Manager mailed a German language report about those in positions of power in Ireland not obeying social distancing rules. He isn't one for "Klatsch und Tratsch". Reports about Hogan were on German national news about this.
