Are you saying Paddy doesn't fund "ontheditch"?
I think reading over his tweets on the last two days will confirm he has a vendetta
Not sure why anyone would back up a man who is upset because the government wouldn't hand him millions in tax payers money and they keys to Dublin.
Personally delighted that somebody is checking these politicians out. They are putting our so called 'independent' journalists to shame.
Are you not?
Its quite funny to see the same mob that were constantly outraged about Denis O’Brein owning media outlets now lauding Paddy Cosgrave’s pet project as “independent” journalism.
I don't give a toss who funds it. They caught Troy (FF) out and that's a good thing. He was forced to admit 7 'mistakes'.
We seems to have lost many of our good investigative journalists so if the Ditch want to help fill that gap, so be it.
We were talking about the content. The stories thus far are not made up to suit paddy.
Doubt I ever mentioned Denis myself BW much less get 'outraged'.
So I take it you aren't happy to see breaches in regs exposed?
Who cares who's funding it, so long as they're being truthful in their report's?
If Paddy Cosgrave starts getting massive government contracts, and heavily discounted companies at tax payers expense like O'Brien did, maybe folk should start to be concerned then.
It's blatantly obvious why FFG supporters aren't happy about the ditch, and who's funding it though.
Stories are true, not made up.
Sad you people need to go after people rather than own your cronyism. As a FF man you knew what you were getting into.
I've never once been outraged at Dinny and paddy is of no interest. He's very important to you chaps for the deflection.
You people always intentionally miss the mark. The Ditch stories aren't made up to 'get' your party and dinny isn't the bufoon keeps awarding him bad deal for the tax payer sweet deals.
Been away from here for a while - but I see you still love to try and put words in people’s mouth Francie. Consistent if nothing else
It’s always good to see any breaches of regulation being exposed
However what’s not so good is to have what amounts to another version of An Poblacht that will ignore certain parties, and only target the political enemies of their money man.
BTW - Good to see the klaxon call went up to get all the gang along to try and shout down any dissenting voices
??
100% right
Plus the same people complaining about Denis and been a crony are upset with the government for not making Paddy the biggest crony of them all
It is totally confusing to me
I suggest you look into Paddy and old Denis
Also the only reason Paddy is not the new O'Brien is FG rejected handing him millions. It would seem you are upset about this?
Maybe you can explain it to me because it is confusing?
FF, your party, have nobody to blame for their cronyism but themselves. The Ditch reporting on it is not a conspiracy. Stop being corrupt and crony maybe.
The only thing outrageous about Dinny is how he keeps riding the government and they keep going back to offer him more.
Still waiting on MM to do something with siteserv or morriarty for that matter. Rotten lot.
@brokenangel , I've seen your often contradictory posts on this site, sometimes completely contradictory even though you've posted minutes apart.
with all due respect I would say you're not hard to confuse.
"FF, your party"
Sorry not my party. How many parties have I been accused of supporting now?
If all else fails mention Denis while revering his protege.
It was the poster up above blackwhite that first mentioned Denis O'Brien and introduced him to the thread.. You weren't joking about being confused.
Well that's something.
You are happy to see wrongdoing exposed.
P.S. Re; klaxon calls. Nobody posting here that hasn't been posting routinely for weeks now...except yourself.
I quoted the post you mention Denis 🤩
Ahh I remember now
Leave you to it 👍️
I don’t excuse wrongdoing based on political party - no matter what snide little digs you think you’re making.
Most people on here are well aware of your history of defending the indefensible though - once it was from your heroes or their family members
But you seem intent on shooting the messenger though, which would lead one to believe you aren't that happy.
Ah well, it was good while it lasted. 😕
.
If The Sun happens to break a good story it doesn’t suddenly make them a reputable publication, or even a positive contributor to society in general.
Much like this story doesn’t suddenly mean that On the Ditch is anything more that a vehicle for Paddy Cosgrave’s political vendettas.
So you are not happy.
What is more reputable, a publication that misses these stories or one that publishes them?
Take your time there, nobody is asking you to buy the dang thing.
Neither is automatically more reputable than the other based on a single story.
Your desperation to use one story to try to promote a website with an incredibly transparent political bias (which happens to match your own decade-long bias as shown across multiple pseudonyms on here) is quite telling though.
Tbf they were breaking the bord planalta story with months and not a single mainstream media picked it up or paid serious heed to it......it was well flagged,and fair bang of closed shop culture around our ruling class and the media,that none of it was picked up ......or any serious element of reform for bord planalta is being proposed
,it's reputation is in tatters now and it's senior members should be hauled before committee to account for what looks to be an highly necessary public body,which has let a rot in standards set on and an utter clearout needed....it's kinda symbolic of Irish society since Celtic tiger era,a word I'm no fan of describes it perfect,gombeens
Wha?
I didn't promote a single thing.
I am just glad they are investigating these guys. }
More made up stuff. Was your pal and yourself raised Denis. You've been repeatedly told Paddy is only of interest to you. Paddy isn't in government or opposition.
My bad, thought you'd said you were a FF'er long time ago.
Thats it Francie. When FF/FG are called out for behaving like FF/FG, its bring in the shinners or personal attacks or go after the messengers. Do everything bar defend their team, because they cannot.
”Was your pal”
Who??
Anyway, so you support the government giving out millions of tax payer money to people just to keep them happy?
Fairly classic behaviour alright.
What are you on about? We are wasting millions on what, more sweet deals for uncie Dinny?
