Expenses problem solved
You know, for all the complaining and belly-aching, it makes me glad that I live in a country where justice is meted out as efficiently and effectively as it is here in Ireland. Not a few short weeks ago we were up in arms about TDs expenses and the fact they were, almost to a [...]
John O’Donoghue’s resignation speech
Right here, if you can stomach it (via Irish Election) What a bullshitting, self-aggrandising, doesn’t fucking get it at all, cunt. And Eoghan Harris on Newstalk trying to make out that O’Donoghue put Eamon Gilmore in his place with his cretinous oration, you can fuck right off. A Bertie appointed Senator sticking up for a [...]
Crossness
I was listening to Brian Lenihan on the radio this morning talking about politician’s expenses. “This country”, he says, “is in a serious financial crisis and doing away with Oireachtas expenses won’t change that. We have to see the bigger picture”. Something similar to that anyway. I was driving at the time and I could [...]
We’re all Lisbonians now!!!
So, here we are. Lisbon has been passed. After rejecting the treaty in the first place the Government played us like a fiddle. Remember that sketch in the Fast Show with the bloke who agreed with each side of the argument. For example: “That Bertie Ahern. What a great bloke he is. I can’t wait [...]
It’s gonna start getting ugly
As the Lisbon vote gets nearer and nearer you can’t help think that the campaigning, the propaganda, the media blitzes and everything else is going to start getting nasty. Yesterday it emerged that UKIP Party was getting involved. According to the Irish Times: UKIP confirmed yesterday it had begun posting some 1.5 million leaflets, which [...]
More on O’Donoghue
So today’s Indo reports that John O’Donoghue has hired his own political advisor on a €90,000 salary despite using the fact his position is ‘non-political’ to avoid answering questions about his outrageous abuse of expenses. That’s a fucking cushty number, isn’t it? “You sir, are my political advisor. You have a monthly salary of €7,500″ [...]
That John O’Donoghue statement in full
Under the Freedom of Made-up Information act I found a draft version of John O’Donoghue’s statement to the Dáil. Errors are not mine. To each member of Dáil Éireann, September 11th, 2009. Fellow gobshites, I am writing to you and to our other colleagues in the Dáil in the context of recent extensive media coverage [...]
John O’Donoghue is a fucking clown
Jesus wept, this is an elected official. Obviously being handed the conch has made him even more of a cunt than he was before. He’s an embarrassment. Not as much of an embarrassment as welcoming back a feckless geebag like Beverly Cooper-Flynn but still. He’s pretty fucking pathetic. Proper post to follow.
