    I think it's a case of we make the rules but they're for the average people so they don't step out of line, the rules were never meant to affect a government official. Just look at this guy and I'm sure our lot feel exactly the same.http://www.metro.co.uk/news/892643-you-cant-touch-me-im-an-mp-eric-joyce-avoids-jail-despite-assault-pleas

    Any woman with a double-barrelled name not related to royalty should be clubbed to insensibility with her own shoe.

    Beverley Cooper- Flynn


    I see what you mean.

    The sooner the Seanad is abolished and wastes of space and money like Healy Eames have to cop on to themselves, the better.

    The same woman who applied for planning permission for a big fook off garage

    She got refused permission

    She built anyway

    She applied for retention permission

    She got it

    Only in Ireland :rolleyes:

    I don't like her but loads of people do that in this country, I'm not saying it's right though, just that it happens all over.

    She's working hard to build up her public profile. Next step; blame The D4 Meedja (Mercedes-driving enemies of the poor, be-nighted people of Rural Ireland). She'll be a shoo-in for the next Dail.

    She apparently thought she could "buy" the tax once she got in to drive the car.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,542 ✭✭✭Captain Darling


    Its tough at the top lads.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,653 ✭✭✭Ghandee


    Just realised.

    On 2nd of July she had a car seized for non payment of tax.

    Ten days later, and presumably, due to the lack of a car (for non payment of tax) she gets caught on a train for non payment of ticket.


    While the 28k a year worker struggles on, paying their way.......

    unfknblevble. :eek:

    The fines are probably catered for in the senator's expenses. (It really wouldn't, surprise me!)

    The senator must have some class of a microchip installed that shuts her morals down after two hours, and that they cannot be restarted for another period of time.

    It was going great guns until the tax-disc inspector fell from the bonnet of the Merc and the disc blew away.

    Mr Kenny said the days of fleets of limousines hosting delegates will be gone and warned that there will be a much more frugal budget than when it last had the role. "It's changed in the sense that we don't have the fleets of limousines anymore" Mr Kenny said in his first address as Taoiseach to the Seanad. FULL ARTICLE AT BELFAST TELEGRAPH :pac:
