    Well have a looksies here and find out !

    Some nice chap has pulled together the expenses claimed from all of our friends in Leinster House and how much they have claimed 2005-2008...and what the potential saving would be if their expenses were canned.

    A few of my favourites -

    1. Jackie Healy Rae - €719k

    2. Bernard Allen (The head of the public accounts committee) €725k

    3. Paul Gogarty the F-Bomb green party TD €536k (never knew the commute from Lucan was so expensive!)

    4. Aenghus O'Snodaigh, a man fighting for workers apparently trousered €536k.


    FYP

    such a joke of a man tbh.... pity its too late for people to wake up. Once the bailout is signed the 10 billion interst a year will sink us.

    How the hell can we stop these fcuking eejits getting the seats in the dail!?!

    I think someone with the money to do so should do all they can to expose these gobsh!tes for who they really are!! in this day and age there is not one seat should be lost to the likes of these fools

    Don't blame Healy-Rae. Blame the thousands of "more power to him" morons that give him a mandate. Or indeed anybody that votes based on what they can get down for their little patch (or pay packet) rather than looking at the big picture.

    I dislike Jackie Healy Rae as much as anyone eles, but given the type of people the Kerry population have been known to support in the past (rapists and that) would you honestly expect them as a county to choose anyone better?

    I live in Kerry and don't know of any "rapists and that", and I also didn't vote for some old over-acting gombeen.

    oh the right honourable judge what'shisname!! my dads wife is one of the healy rae supporters from Kerry, she's equally as thick as **** and manages to hold down a job in the public service!! she swears by him and my Dad by frank Fahy. dads reasons are cos frank got us medical cards in the 80's/90's when we didn't qualify for them. I've tried to talk them round but I might as well be talkin to the telly for all the sense i hear coming back at me.

    edit... judge curtain if I'm not mistaken, at least someone had the balls to try break his jaw for him on the street!! he should have been taken off in a van, skinned alive, killed a few times and brought back to life and when they were done with him leave him at the gates of the dail

    that was one of the worst cases of horsesh!te I ever seen, wrong date on the warrant!! i mean WTF like!!!!

    I was refering to the Listowel case where the locals supported the rapists and shunned the victim

    http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/ireland/2009/1217/1224260838823.html

    Obviously there's idiots everywhere, Kerry however seems to have a disturbingly high number relative to the population of the county

    JHR and his son are very heavily supported down there alright. The proportion of older above 40 types that do beggars belief. The young dont so there's hope.

    It is scary and frankly shameful to see that 19th century caricature of a gombeen paddy showing up to the Dail and being interviewed by foreign media.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    I know the case to which you referred, and the guy wasn't charged with, or convicted of rape. Accuracy goes a long way.

    As for your Kerry idiot population generalisation? That's worthy of a Daily Mail article.

    is it such an idiotic generalisation though? there are some right tools from Kerry and I know that from personal experience and the fact the two healy raes keep gettin praise and airtime

    there are plenty like them in Galway too and they keep voting for frank Fahy so don't take it personly when we say anything about your particular county

    we all got backward, special cases, old time gob****es who shouldn't have anything to do with any type of power like they have to be able to lift the phone and twist the rules in your favour just for a couple of votes ffs

    While serving as Minister for Education, (Dr Michael) Woods signed a controversial agreement with 18 Irish religious orders involved in child sex-abuse scandals which limited their compensation liability to the victims of abuse to only €128 million. This compensation scheme is project to eventually cost the Irish government, and therefore the Irish tax payers, €1.35 billion.

    €1.35 - €128 = €1.222 Billion excluding expenses, pensions and salaries

    Not bad, not bad at all............
