Yeah Miriam would be a poor replacement for Sean o'Rourke. Though I think if she were to take that slot (which is 5 days per week) it would mean she would have to give up Prime Time. I cant see her doing that, she wants to be on tv more than radio.

Genuinely?

Thanks for the heads up General Zhukov. For me who she is married to is her business, what would worry me more is the fact she was

She subsequently took a break from politics, not returning until October 2017 when she came to the aid of Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government Eoghan Murphy, where she advised him on the National Planning Framework and the creation of the Land Development Agency. She worked with Murphy's office until January 2019 when she left to work for a Public Relations firm.

[end quote].

Look at the shambles Murphy made of the housing, and the total bull sh*t he spewed over the past few years. And now we discover she was behind a lot of this?

Speaking of housing, this in the Journal today:

The very thing Varadker said was UNCONSTITUTIONAL prior to the election.

And meanwhile this garbage from FF:

Perhaps there will have to be another election in May.

Election is more that 2 months ago, yet Bailey is still making news even though she is political history lol

Must be some sort of record?

She's not making the news. There's been nothing but positive press about the great job FG have been doing over the last number of months. Go back to sleep.

Hah, those links woke You from your slumber Pat, good.

Regarding Bailey, yes directly my above link and comment has nothing to do with her, but INdirectly it certainly has - how? Well, she is ( or was at least ) a member of FG, which makes her a part of the untrustable and scurrilous bunch masquerading as politicians.

As for the FF link? Sure it only illustrates that both parties are of the same ilk.

Just to add to the tweet, the quickest vaccine ever is most definitely not 4 years. Swine flu was within 1 year, sooner actually, not sure of the exact timeline for mass rollout.

Swine Flu wasn't a Coronavirus though, was it?

Didn't specify coronavirus in his 4 year statement what virus family he was referring to. 4 years is not the record for vaccine development. Maybe less of the snipey smart arse comments.

Your link says we've never made a successful coronavirus vaccine, so your point and the 4 year claim makes no sense whatsoever. It's simply incorrect.

There genuinely wasn't any snipey smart arse comments. That is the way you may have read it, but not the way it was posted.

The link was added later.

Not surprised. She acted like an entitled scumbag when elected, so she would not change now that she is a private citizen.

Arciphel · 28-05-2020 6:08pm

This is great news, in my opinion she has a slim chance of winning this case and also if she wants to fight this in court we will have great discovery of evidence on both sides. Including who was the solicitor who advised her to pursue the personal injury case in the first place. :pac:

28-05-2020 6:39pm

Does it say who is representing her this time? Could this be her having the last laugh at FGs expense?

I think the paper should let this one go to court. This exposure will be better than any advertising campaign.

Looks like a firm in Naas from a Google search. Although, I don't know why she isn't representing herself this time, she must be an expert by now taking out an auld claim.

I believe it's an American legal anecdote, ' the plaintiff who represents himself, has a fool for a client'.
Maria is no fool, well not that foolish.

My god she is some fool, she just cant let it go and move on. I'd pity the poor judge who is going to have to listen to her whining

AmberGold · 29-05-2020 12:16am

It’s not like the reputation is at stake, more embarrassment for FG will spur her on. The media will get great mileage out of this one.

Alan Farrell TD can be her bag carrier..

Underground · 29-05-2020 12:19am

Imagine being that detached from reality that you'd think this is an okay thing to do, bearing in mind the year or so that she's just had.

Unbelievable, her ego must be out of control.

Mrsmum · 29-05-2020 12:27am

She got some roasting before (deservedly so). I'm amazed that she is willing to go back into the fire.

KaneToad · 29-05-2020 12:39am

Every citizen is entitled to seek redress from the courts. Why is she any different?

She obviously believes she has a case. The court will decide. Let her off t.f.

Fair play to her - Hope she bleeds them dry.

Bloody journalists think they can write anything. I experienced some nasty journalism myself and I can assure you, it really has a very long-lasting negative affect.

Your comment is absolutely ridiculous!

Most of the damage Bailey suffered (both physically and reputationally) was self inflicted! The facts of her case are VERY well known. Were you also in the wrong like Bailey and youre upset at the media because they called you out?:pac:

You're absolutely right - I will qualify my initial statement - I believe she has a very slim chance of succeeding in the case. I base this on past cases in Irish courts and also my understanding of defamation law in that in order to defeat the newspapers likely defence of qualified privilege, the plaintiff would have to prove malice in reporting the news article in question.

Does anyone know why the Irish Mirror in particular is being singled out here?

Judgement day for Maria Bailey.
