Good lad smurge, give em enough rope and let the hang themselves, same as it's always been with FG - try and take credit for all good in the world but it's never their fault when it's the wrong end of a sh1tty stick.

Just like the invisible Events Center in Cork. Fine Gael were all over it! Turning of the sod. Simon coveney stepped in to try and sort it afterwards too. All went very quiet when it hit a snag. Captain's of industry!

There's been an apology but I don't think it's enough, apparently this pension plan is going to cost £800million which sounds very high considering the population

He didn't have Covid so he was immune to catching or passing it on. In any case you can't catch it if you are carrying important documents.

Fair play to Big Philo, it takes a remarkable amount of 5 course lunches with wine in Brussels to end up with a spare tyre around your neck. Of course some here will be along soon to tell us he is really working 110 hours a week :rolleyes:

Yes.

James Brown · 26-08-2020 7:56pm

I hope some changes come about within our betters and their attitude, (seeing as it won't be FF/FG led). Otherwise Hogan going won't mean much.

I suppose Phil's EU expenses will be 'down to a trickle' though.

Better my bollocks. What this has shown is that the higher ups are morons and not as politically shrewd as they thing they are. Nor are they as clever in general. If it wasn't for social media posts this might not have leaked. I wonder how much stuff went on through the years we have no iota of because the journalist shills covered up for the government of the day?
The truth is FG and the crony class is being outmanoeuvred by technology. Ordinary individuals with cameras and 4g connections are destroying the image of them as our betters.

Muahahaha · 26-08-2020 9:27pm

Well this thread is like a silent wake. Not surprising given Hogan has reminded the public that Fine Gaelers think nothing of lying through their teeth.

Theres not much senior hurling going on by FG either, its all junior B stuff lately

Eamon and the Greens were calling for big Phil to go this morning over almost every radio channel I tuned Into, I suspect a few of our resident greens are at party headquarters boogying down at the party with their vegan burgers and bubble herbal teas.

I think tomorrow will be about his arrogance in that interview. He actually pinned the blame on the distraction, rather than were it lies...his lies and attempted deceit.

Jinglejangle69 · 26-08-2020 9:59pm

Amazing how other parties have got away with flouting the rules like Phil did.

Who by the way is a moron.

Obviously the rules don't apply to these other parties??

As the journalist class are saying on Twitter...even if he had released the statement he released tonight at the start...as arrogant as it is, he'd still be in a job and the country would be moving on.
He had to go as soon as he started blaming others and outright lying about it. He is on the plane home because of himself and himself alone.

If you're on about Flanagan and Ring not socially distancing at that funeral, I don't see the comparison. They were wrong not to socially distance but Hogan was playing golf while touring the counties, then the fibs about it. That said I couldn't care less that he resigned. It won't change who or what he or his party are.

Leo will want Enda Kenny to be given this nice juicy high paid job now that Phil Hogan is gone.

As per the rules, it is normally up to the taoiseach of the day to appoint someone. So expect Micheál Martin a man with no spine to cave.

I hope Kenny enjoys his new job..

Kenny is an old man with 40 plus years of this shyte, can't see him wanting to do it. Sailing with Bear Grylls and Andy Windsor more his thing these days.

Enda Kenny was pictured enjoying playing his golf with FFG last week. He doesnt look like a man who intends returning to politics anytime soon, thats as good a retirement beard as you'll ever see.

I wouldn.t mind having Sean Fleming as leader of FF,, I like him, I think he would do a good job.

SF only ran 1 candidate in my constituency at the last GE,, But if they run 2 candidates at the next GE, My first and second preferences on the ballot paper may well change next time round..

So you may now call me an ex FF voter..

James Brown · 27-08-2020 6:35pm

My local FG'er lost her seat. Likely to run again or would someone else get a go?

satguy · 27-08-2020 6:55pm

So many FG'ers just made it in, on 7th or 8th count, some big names too.

Makes you wonder if they will do anything so as to not have another GE anytime soon..

They've the ego to chance it. Its their biggest trait and biggest flaw. They underestimate how pissed off the public are with them. Never their fault. The golf piss up with vulture fund/Cerberus related folk in attendance isn't a good look.

She was incompetent in Justice, at best incompetent. Mind Hogan was no prize pig.

Muahahaha · 28-08-2020 12:20am

Fitzgerald would be a disaster, she already tried to play senior camogie and it ended up with her misleading the Dail and having to resign as Minister for Justice.

The EU has had enough with Phils lies for the past week so we need to be sending someone who is beyond reproach, Francis Fitzgerald is not that.

I hope somebody will say it. These senior FG Ministers and MEPs will lie and lie to hold on to their positions. Hogan defied his government and lied through his teeth to hold on. Fitzgerald 'misled' to hold on too.
We don't need that.

She's 70 years old, people are sick of the same old doddering fools getting positions they haven't a clue about, give it to someone who Doesn't need an adult nappy

If they nominate Frances, Von Der Leyen's Twitter feed will light up with alerts to check out the Maurice McCabe story.

Another **** show waiting to happen if FG are stupid enough.

You may as well cancel Europe if they let someone like MacSharry near any class of Commission portfolio. I wouldn't let the man run a tuck shop

I see now that big Phil Hogan will now pick up a €440K golden handshake.

You would think they would add the extra €60K and round it up to a cool Half Million for him..

The rest uf us will have to wait until we are 68 for our pensions.. But no half mil ...

Von Der Leyen is a heavyweight politician and won't be interested in the bottom-feeders, shinnerbots and spooks on Twitter.

She can do her own homework and read the Charleton report, which exonerated Francis Fitzgerald.

Oh she can red the report if she likes but the salient, relevant and warning part is how she misled the House, almost brought down the government and had to do exactly what Phil had to do...fall on her own sword.

She was happy to see Hogan go over flouting Covid regs and telling fibs. Francis was much more of a liability. She'd be nuts to take on another sub par Fine Gaeler.
