Helen McEntee & Those Donations - threadbanned users in OP

so what you are saying is that if you keep talking about it others may just think that it's true ?

As has been pointed out there is absolutely no evidence of any wrong doing .. but the outraged classes will always be outraged.

As for her husband getting a promotion in FG ... he was working for FG before they even met ... so nothing unusual with someone getting promotions in work.

yes - the trial by social media. Then the facts don't matter as long as the jury of your social media peers make their judgement.

As I said everyone is entitled to their opinion; however proclaiming guilt is dangerous when there are no facts to form an opinion on. Think about the poor fella who was subjected to trail by social media for the awful attack in the midlands ... and yet he had nothing to do with the crime.

and what does that smell mean ... did she do something illegal to assist the person who donated the money ..... has there even been any inclination of anything that she may have done ? or are you just using a type of dad joke to put the idea out there ?

So what do you think she did wrong ?

what are you suspicious of ... what is the wrongdoing that you suspect her of doing ?

I didn't accuse you of anything ... but plenty of people on her have already made an assumption of guilt for an unknown crime. But - hey ... as you said it's all opinion !

You have proclaimed that people are wrong to form the opinion that she is innocent, so the corollary of that is that your view and opinion is that she is guilty.

There is a binary choice of opinion here, innocent or guilty. You proclaim that she isn't innocent, therefore you are calling her guilty. What is worse is that you are not doing so openly, you are hiding behind innuendo and insinuation, using suggestion and intimation, a pretty low way of doing so.

yep and she handed it back ... so what is the crime ? as you said you have no idea what she did, know or didn't know ... so unless SIPO direct an investigation or the guards / courts get involved I'm sure there was nothing illegal in it.

So rather than just assume (which you have admitted to doing) how about letting the actual facts dictate what is and isn't right or wrong.

I think ministers should resign their position if they want to go on maternity leave. They are only in those positions for a few years. They can be reinstated after but it madness letting that happen. Even the legality of it. She changed travel rules for people from Brazil then went on maternity leave. Her replacement wasn’t doing anything for weeks. A friend of mine’s wife was stuck in Brazil waiting for her visa to be processed when someone from Africa gets on the radio with a sob story and gets in.

Let's ignore for now any ideas of corruption. She was unable to spot multiple donations over the maximum amount for almost a year, down to a 'misunderstanding' in her office over the allowable limits. Let's forget the donations in question came from the same donator. They were all hundreds over the maximum allowed.

She is underqualified for her position. She has no experience on any level, and this sort of incompetence at such a low level proves it.

"The justice system has been broken for years, she has made changes but our biggest issue is we need more jails. I am not sure what exactly changes she has implemented but not sure how someone could question her role when she took over in the middle of covid and any legal changes take time. Maybe you could confirm what you think she has done wrong in this role?"

Maybe you could answer what has been asked before, what has she done in this role?

And these while you are at it.

Why do you think she should be minister for Justice? What can you pinpoint in her life that makes her the ideal person to take on that ministerial role?

It was questioned when she was appointed, and she is proving everone that questioned the appointment, correct. She is getting undeserved positions and promises because of her connections, definitely not her experience. If FG want to continue down that route, that is fine. But I wouldn't expect most people to support that nonsense as it becomes more apparent. Even the most staunch FG supporters would have to start questioning wtf is happening. It is a recipe for a downward spiral.

since when does a minister have to be qualified in the area they are in ? All the experts are in the departments under their control. A Minister's brief is to pursue government policy. Its a lazy argument stating that they need qualifications .... should their be a Masters Degree for policitican and then a PHD to specialise to become a minister ? TDs are supposed to be a representative of their constituents .. and ministers are selected from TDs.
