The EU has had enough with Phils lies for the past week so we need to be sending someone who is beyond reproach, Francis Fitzgerald is not that.

The Charleton Tribunal has fully accepted the evidence of former tánaiste and minister for justice Frances Fitzgerald about her knowledge of, and responses to, an alleged Garda strategy to undermine the reputation of Garda whistleblower Maurice McCabe.The Tribunal report gives a clear exoneration to Ms Fitzgerald, who was forced to resign from the Government in November 2017 as a result of the political controversy surrounding her role.

markodaly wrote: » Exonerated against the accusations yes, yes it does actually. Was the judge lying? Was there corruption involved in writing the report? Don't like the facts, when it doesn't suit? So either you are saying the judge was corrupt or he was correct in the report. You cant have it both ways.
She had to resign because she misrepresented the extent of her knowledge about what went on in 2015, she was slow in answering legitimate questions, her briefing to the Taoiseach saw him mislead the Dáil, and her department failed to discover important documents to the Disclosures Tribunal.
