This judegment is a fooking joke. More of the same. First NAMA and now IBRC can basically feather the nests of connected ones at the taxpayers expense all the while hiding behind the excuses of confidentiality and privacy. :mad: We have had the myriad of connected bwankers, developers, public body ceos of fianna fail replaced by really just one utlra rich media owning maltese based ex Tony Ryan lackie. So much for cleaning things up :mad: All they seem to have done is cut the number of snouts at the trough and not cut the swill in it. I once had a lot of respect for alan dukes, but there is an odious stench about anything he is around over the last few years.

Considering siteserv are in the midst of this, as Dennis bought them on a debt free basis, provided by the Irish taxpayers, then soon after got given a large state contract to install meters, I expect tend of thousands now to show the govt how they feel about corruption by refusing to pay their water charges. Irish water and siteserv are inextricably linked.

Yeah anything to do with denis o'brien on those news websites the comments are always disabled, its not a headline story on the independents website..well I wonder why! The power that sc*mbag has is sickening..

"But, but... the Recovery" I hear FG supporters say - you mean the one that has more to do with FDI policies that are around a lot longer than the current Government? The one created by the private sector thanks to a bit of an upswing in the global economy?.. although I'll grant ye that it's easy to get confused given how Enda and senior cabinet ministers are wheeled out to claim credit for the opening of every postage stamp! That few quid they (generously!) gave you in the Budget? Don't expect that to last long when the IW subsidy/capping expires, when the new Broadcast Tax goes in and they introduce mandatory Health Insurance The only thing FG/LAB have really done is prove themselves to be just as bad as their predecessors.. and that's no small achievement! The only reason we haven't seen more of their own brand of cronyism, corruption and incompetence is because they only get elected when FF need a hiding! We've had a fresh reminder again today though of what they stand for but just as I'm not surprised with today's verdict, nor will I be surprised when they form the next Government. So yep.. vote FG for 5 more years of Jobs for the Boys, Enda hiding from debate or shouting at SF like a schoolchild, and more erosion of our rights, press freedom, and public services.

He's earned billions coming from a highly suspect deal, he doesn't pay tax here, he gets awarded contracts from his pals in government, this isn't the first time he's silenced people from talking about his dubious affairs, the list goes on.
