The Healy Raes

Maybe this knock on the head he cashed in on might explain his carry-on.

It is known down there and there are many ppl in the gaa club who swear they never would vote for them partly due to that issue

Another issue is that MHR repeatedly guaranteed to various clubs down there that big funding money was coming their way and each time he let them down

Fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me type of attitude now.

Wouldn’t say feud. Uneasy alliance more so

What did they fall out over? They put up a good act in the Dail, they always look like best of mates in there.

That's simply not true and I say that as someone who is involved in a lot of various clubs "down there".

I know ppl personally who have told me about MHR promising the sun the moon and the stars to local gaa and other sports clubs

Then he went to ground when the funds didn’t materialize

He did it repeatedly.

I stand over my contacts testimony

I don’t know the details but always remember they are a very wealthy family with various business interests. There are many things they could be arguing about. I don’t know or care which as I am not down there all that often.

The main contact I’ve had with them is that meeting with DHR I refer to in the above post. I was taken aback by him on that occasion.

There ends my full personal contact with the HR clan.

If you go back over my posts you'll see I called you out as a spoofer then too.

I don’t particularly care what you think. I know what happened and I have talked to a good number of ppl who’ve told me their own stories.

I regularly discuss politics with a wide variety of ppl from around the country. the comments told to me came from some good friends.

I believe them and not random names online.

Has this been discussed here? The family are scum !

Let's not forget that you are talking about real people here, just because you use an alias on an internet forum doesn't mean you can say whatever you want and get away with it.

It's never a good idea to vote a political Monopoly/dynasty

I wouldn't agree but if you are speaking with the voice of experience tell us more.

The people of Kerry vote for them because they are hard working, they listen and help constituents where they can.

I think there is an element of jealousy as most people only see their TD when votes are needed, the rest of the time they do very little to positively affect their constituents.

Do you have many examples of hard work done for the community by junior besides trying to bate "outsiders" back out of "his" town?

I am sure that the locals were delighted when they were helped by having their local GAA club give the poor fella a heap of money over him clashing heads (wonder if the other half of the clashed heads also got a similar payout...........methinks probably not).

Join us next week when it is revealed how a courageous young politician hero fought the system and successfully sued his local volunteer run swimming club after he went swimming and got wet.

It is not fair to blame the father for the sons wrongdoing, I don't condone what the son did, and think it is very bad, but MHR is a gentleman, I do not know his son, have never spoken to him

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree as they say.

It wasn't licked off a stone

The screwing of the GAA club was done when underage so would have had to be done through parents btw (I'd imagine). Even if they didn't have to consent to anything, I know myself that if I tried to pull and stunt like that when I was that age I'd have be beat out of the place.

What are you trying to articulate?

Wasn't the oul' fella was recently caught "stickin' it up to them fellas up above in Dublin" by claiming Dail expenses on a day when he spent the morning being interviewed by a radio station in Kerry and attending a funeral down there? Apparently he says he went in for a few minutes, swiped his fob and then fecked off....and claimed expenses for a days work in the Dail even though he wasn't there ....as he is entitled to do

Junior banged his head at hurling training and reached a settlement with the local GAA club so as not to pursue the matter further through the courts....again as he is entitled to do.

You need a certain kind of environment for that kind of mentality to develop - no? I wouldn't have been allowed to do anything like that and I'd say there are plenty like that. My father got a very bad GAA injury when I was very young. Couldn't do anything for a few months and he wouldn't accept a penny from the club even when his teammates just had a whip around for him. And he could have done with the money! I'm sure there were plenty of genuine cases like that in Mr. Healy Rae's club before he got his talons into them for his bang on his head.

They don't seem to miss a chance to take money off the table if it can be done. The same craic as yer wan Bailey or the fella in Cork who gets his expenses despite working in a different job in Europe.

But shure he fixsht de road!

Wondering if some on this thread are dogsbodys for them?

Read about it here

He was elected to the Dail, lost his junior ministry a few years back, more or less decided not to turn up to the Dail any more, got a new job in Brussels, still claimed his Dail expenses (says that he was technically present for enough days per year......same as MHR says he was technically present on the day he was in Kerry...) then resigned yesterday due to the story hitting the news a few days ago.

So he wasn't there for a couple of years?

And claimed expenses for being there while getting paid to do a different job at the time?

Is that the jist of it?

Donald Trump wrote: »

I think so. More or less. At the very least he didn't have any notable input for a long time and was workign this other job on the side.

I think there is a minimum like 120 days that he was supposed to be present in the Dail and some articles appeared to indicate that he said he fulfilled the rules (even if he didn't really enter the actual chambers or contribute much, if anything.)

So it could be a bit like MHRs fob being scanned into the building on the morning he traveled to Kerry and him saying that he went in very early, scanned in, and then drove down to Kerry (and claimed his expenses for that day for working in the Dail in Dublin).
Maybe your man did go in on 120 mornings and scan in, and even use his office there but possibly for other work.

Allegedly of course...as they say

Ah yeah, same thing shur.

The papers aren't saying that he got someone else to clock in for him.


No one has said that he never clocked in on those days even though no one ever saw him. He's just discreet OK!

Is there a clocking out procedure for the dail as well? Or is the case that he just turned up, clocked in, and then buggered off somewhere else?

And the minute the issue is raised, he resigns as a TD?

Which means he can't be investigated?

Ah well.

Healy Rae brothers given suspended sentences.

http://www.rte.ie/news/courts/2019/1206/1097456-healy-raes-court/

Independent Councillor Jackie Healy-Rae and his brother Kevin have been given suspended jail sentences of eight months and seven months respectively, following their conviction at Kenmare District Court of assaulting a man in Kenmare, Co Kerry over Christmas in 2017.

The two men, of Sandymount, Kilgarvan, are sons of Independent Kerry TD Michael Healy-Rae.

They were convicted along with a third man, Malachy Scannell, of Inchinacoosh, Kilgarvan, of assaulting an English visitor to Kenmare during which he was punched in the face half a dozen times.

Kieran James, 30, who was on a visit from the UK to his cousins in Kerry, told the court that Kevin Healy-Rae jumped the queue at a chip van, declaring that this was his town and his chip van, before pushing him.

Mr James said his brother Jackie caught him in a headlock and he was unable to breathe.

Mr James said he, his wife Lauren, and others in his party left when the assault finished, but were followed up Main Street by the two Healy-Raes and Scannell.

He said Jackie Healy-Rae caught his arm behind his back and punched him, and the other two joined in.

He said he was punched in the face half a dozen times. His nose was bleeding, he had a cut over his eye and torn ligaments in his shoulder.

Mr James' wife said his face was swollen and disfigured. She said he was almost unrecognisable.

All three defendants denied the charges against them.

Redneck country. They lie about their involvement and still walk.

Justice in Ireland eh.
