Where to now for Sean Gallagher?

MadsL · 31-10-2011 2:14am

Probably go into politics :rolleyes:

I think he's now got the message that you have to start at the bottom and not just parachute to the highest office in the land.

FF candidate for sure.

The Quadratic Equation · 31-10-2011 3:31am

Well like any typically greedy Boom Parasite, you can be sure he's desperate for more taxpayers money (like the €800,000 taxpayers money given to him by his FFker chums to start up cutehuir-homes.ie), and that greasy slimey shiny head knows no modesty.

I'm greatly looking forward to the publication of his 2010 company accounts, which he can't delay much longer.

In the absence of direct proof against McGuinness, I am very happy to accept the word of former Garda commissioners.

How so, Sean Gallagher is no longer a member of FF and was running in this election as an independent. Any suggestion that he attempted to mislead the electorate is just wrong . . .

So why did all the FFkers refuse to run a candidate, and instead came out in support of covert Seanie ?

Fianna Fail decided not to run a candidate because they recognised that the FF brand would only be further damaged by going in front of a national electorate so soon after this years GE drubbing. Gallagher decided to run as an independent without any support from (or imho communication with) FF party headquarters.

Even after Gallagher had secured his council nomination the conversation about whether or not FF should run a candidate or support an independent candidate continued within FF to the point that Martin had pledged to support Gay Byrne in his bid to secure a nomination.

Suggestions that Gallagher was a covert FF candidate are just wrong.

LOL is that why all the FFker councillors supported him, and promoted him to anyone who asked ?

I was at various meetings where some FF councillors publicly backed Sean Gallagher and joined his campaign team in their local areas. At the same meetings there were other councillors who publicly backed other candidates such as Mary Davis.

It was an individual choice made by individual councillors, it was not some sort of strategy that Micheál Martin or Mount Street were advocating.

95% of FFkers were promoting him all over the place.
He was the rat that pretended to leave the sinking ship, but he was their rat.
They own him, and he knows it.
FFker cumans all over Ireland had the champers on ice in anticipation of their covert victory.

It may be the case that he had widespread support by FF candidates, but to try and claim that FF HQ were behind or involved in the campaign is just downright not true.

And they and their lackies are so trustworthy and truthful it would bring tears to your eyes.
They are so twisted they didn't even have the balls to run an up front candidate, hence the shiny one, who they own and paid for, was perfect.

His own home village and county didn't think much of him, they voted for Michael D to keep him out.

I'd love to see him run in the next General Election . . .

He'd only get a few thousand votes and he'd have to contest where there was an SF seat.

Though if national elections do come in [as suspected they will] then that could make it interesting.

I'd love to see national elections all the time. But it's only in the Presidential Elections that one has that privilege, otherwise it's just a few vote he'll get from the local community.

Callan57 · 31-10-2011 2:02pm

I'd bet the FF resignation letter has been withdrawn (if there ever was one)
I expect he'll be warmly welcomed back into the fold .... and he'll keep spouting the line that SF ambushed him. He was caught in the web of his own deceit & should be man enough to admit it. All he had to do was tell the truth day one but, as we know, truth is an alien concept in FF.
I sincerely hope we never hear of him again but unfortunately that is probably too much to hope for. :rolleyes:

Sleepy · 31-10-2011 2:05pm

Are any of the following false?

Gallagher lied about his involvement with Fianna Fail fundraisers during his campaign. (However legal those activities were).

Sean Gallagher charged a number of GAA clubs for his assistance in applying for grants to a government whose cabinet comprised of friends and acquaintances of his.

While their company was losing money and administration wasn't an unlikely prospect, Gallagher and his business partner paid themselves in the region of 800k.

Unless all of those are inaccurate, I can't see how anyone can defend the man. We're currently experiencing the results of electing politicians that aren't paragons of virtue. If we are happy to elect people who we know to behave inappropriately in business and/or public life, can we really be surprised if they drive the economy to the benefit of themselves and their friends rather than society as a whole? We need to get out of the habit of electing likeable rogues and focus on electing politicians with clean records.

Is any of the following not true ?

Seanie, once on the national executive of FF, and a FF minsters "advisor", was given €800k of takpayers money by FF to set up smerthomes.ie (or should that be cutehuirs.ie ?) 800k also happens to the the amount he syphoned off the company.

Seanie used his wife and talked about babies in the Aras, as if it was a done hello magazine deal

Seanie still owes louth county enterprise board money for his first little business in 2001, and lets not forget this is the same Seanie that was also a Chairman of Louth County Enterprise Board.

Seanie the non FFker, who managed to destroy 80 jobs and livelyhoods when the taxpayers grant money ran out, was appointed to the golden calf that is FAS by none other than Scary Mary Coughlan herself.

Sierra Oscar · 31-10-2011 2:39pm

Well we all know what FF TD's want . . .

Fianna Fail TDs see Gallagher as 'ideal' candidate for Europe

Wouldnt surprise me if he ran for Europe in 2014 as a platform for getting into the Dail. Will be interesting to see if Gallagher does return to being an active FF member.

The Quadratic Equation · 31-10-2011 2:46pm

"FF nua" - the attempted return of the Boom Parasites is on the cards

From the FFker party rag : http://www.independent.ie/national-news/presidential-election/fianna-fail-tds-see-gallagher-as-ideal-candidate-for-europe-2921417.html

"FIANNA Fail TDs last night said Sean Gallagher would make an ideal candidate for the party in the European elections when they are held in three years' time.

Yet another idea floated was that Mr Gallagher could set up his own political party. He said over the weekend that he would publish all his financial accounts to maintain "his professional and personal integrity".

The 2010 accounts for Smart Homes and Beach House Training and Consulting are due to be filed next month

Meanwhile, businessman Hugh Morgan last night insisted Mr Gallagher invited him to a €5,000 Fianna Fail fundraising dinner.

Mr Morgan also said Mr Gallagher personally delivered a photo taken of him with then-Taoiseach Brian Cowen.

Mr Gallagher has claimed he left it at a hotel for Mr Morgan to collect."

I'm looking forward to this in particular, though I expect the books could be well cooked at this stage, as he has left their publication to the last possible legal moment. It's a disgrace he refused to publish them prior to the election.

He said over the weekend that he would publish all his financial accounts to maintain "his professional and personal integrity".

Would that be like the 80 jobs he got rid of at smerthomes.ie (cutehuirs.ie) when the € 800k of taxpayers grant money he got from the FFkers ran out along with FFkers get rich quick property pryamid scam ?

The only thing he seems to be good at is using his contacts to syphon off taxpayers money via grants and state board appointments. He's a total bluffer.

Too late then, as most people believed the sly Gallagher was a FF candidate. So the bird brains at FF HQ should have run a candidate, cos they are taking the negative hit anyway. If the Gallagher had won though FF would be only too happy to claim him as their own. :rolleyes:

hideous ape · 31-10-2011 6:43pm

Where to now for Seanie indeed. Well lets just hear once again why we should have made him President of Ireland. Here's Seanie, giving it socks in his fake office:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqUJdmRxxiQ

Now here's Seanie in what I can only guess are less stately surroundings telling an audience the truth of what Sean Gallagher is all about:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4KYQB4OGMY

Its interesting that the very qualities Seanie believes are necessary to be the President of Ireland in his campaign video, he publicly admits to been totally **** at in the second video! A vote for Seanie it seems was really a vote for a self confessed crap manager who is useless at encouragment or motivation, who needs someone else to run his businesses, who is happy to get away with doing a piss poor job and who enjoys having a little joke at his paying customers expense. He sounds like a great character altogether, in fact he sounds just like Be-Be-Bertie to me so its no wonder all FF's supporters got so hot and bothered for Se-Se-Seanie.

Delighted this spoof merchant was filleted by the media live on TV, thoroughly deserved by the sounds of things. I don't care what he does but this is precisely the type of chancer we want out of Irish politics for good!

Interesting that you think FF have taken a negative hit here. . Their candidate out-polled FG in the by-election in West-Dublin and if one were to believe the nonsense on here then their proxy-candidate out-polled the FG presidential candidate by some significant margin. .

I would say that the FF strategy not to run a presidential candidate was spot on !!
