I heard on the radio but don't remember fully. Something about a husband and the care, or perhaps lack of, his deceased wife received.

As long as it happens everytime he puts his head in public I don't really care.

Haha, oddly enough I saw Bertie in Fagan's last night propping up the bar after the football. I didn't berate him though, he looked sad.

hopefully he'll be lashed everytime he shows his face in public until such time that he crawls back under the rock he slithered out from.

So would you if you had been at the match.

Poor auld Bertie. As if dignity as a former head of government wasn't reduced enough by emerging from a cupboard in Stillorgan.

Possibly for showing up uninvited on the set of Eastenders? Do you write headlines for the Daily Mail? - "Ex Southern Irish Prime Minister Gets a Right Earful Dahn the Boozer".

Politicians always get berated in the pub. Many of us have signed a pledge with Barnardos not to be photographed with alcohol in our hands.

That article has more

“He’s spoken to Bertie about his wife’s treatment and thought she should have been moved up to the list because she was so ill.

What a tosser. Do Irish people not realise that "getting moved up the list" is actually skipping the queue, putting out everyone behind you? Why would a member of the national legislature have influence over a hospital's waiting list? If the guy had criticised him over overall mismanagement, incompetence, inequality and waste in the health service, that would be one thing - but he wanted special favours because he'd give Bertie his No. 1 vote. We have a two-tier system but Disgusted of Drumcondra wants three tiers - public, private, and politicians' buddies.

i would not worry if kids saw you guys with alcohol, what worries me is the ideas that they may come up with, after looking up the present goverment in google etc.

I don't think the public perception of politicians that should concern you involves alcohol in the hand, you should be worried about peoples perception of snouts in the trough or dicks in the hand pissing against the wind. In other words, you should be worried about being seen as useless self enrichers. As Ivan Yates is constantly saying, 'I can't remember a time in which politics and politicians across the board were held in such low regard'.

In a time of national emergency and you are even on emergency wages, waste is abundant in public bodies and your banking strategy is a farce. There are plenty more things you should be worried about before being photoed with a pint.

What???

How long before Bertie is physically assaulted ? As much as I don't condone physical violence, I would not be at all surprised if someone did something drastic. If you are walking around with a sneer on your face, blaming others for the mess that you created, and making funny ads for the NOTW, you are asking for trouble.

Look up Bertie, cupboard, news of the world on YouTube. The man has no standards or shame, but that's planet Bertie for you

Doesn't necessarily mean that politicians or their standards have changed though...

i am wondering if those copboards are made of steel and can be locked, then we would not see him again,
he really is making us the laughing stock of europe , even though he is no longer our tiosach, he should remember that and there are certain things you should not do,

I wish he hadn't done that either.:mad:

Ally Dick

What's a tiosach ?

Each and every one of us has a debt hanging over our heads because of this scumbag and other corrupt parasites that have pushed our country over a cliff

They should be let know at every opportunity how we feel about this

A widower berated him because of the poor care his wife received while she was in hospital
