That was Seanie The Shuffler taking it off topic. 

It had no relevance what so ever to my point of the time when our representatives were decent, honest, upstanding members of Irish society.

Back on topic. Hughie's excuses prior to the airing of this were laughable in the extreme. Always been a chancer and a rogue with fingers in many pies. He'll try brazen through this I'd imagine. Been so long involved so long in 'politics' probably reckons he's untouchable the eejit. 

Of course he'll still hold a sizeable enough vote if he does indeed run next time around. There will always be people who will believe his wacky tales of getting one over RTE etc. However, that's not limited to Monaghan or rural Ireland, it's a country wide phenomenon, afterall, whens the last time Ireland wasn't governed either wholly or partly by either FF or FG.......

There should be term limits on all politicians. 2 terms of 4 years are more than sufficient time for people to be in any public office.
After that your looking at people being in jobs for life and they have an unfair advantage over anyone else coming in.

The fact the standards in public office watchdog can't even launch an investigation and are 100% answerable to the government is a farce. It just shows this kind of stuff goes right from top to bottom.

As a country we never learn from our mistakes . We just throw money at some half arsed remedy , do the same again and still be surprised about it !!

This being an Irish football forum , take the FAI as exhibit A ...

1) Saipan , Genises - queue Packie Bonner as technical director .
2) The Stan era - queue Wim Koevermans .. Man draws up a technical development plan , brings recommendations to the SFAI which are then shot down.
3) The end of Trap , ageing squad little coming through - queue Ruud Dokter ... Exactly as above , man draws up a technical development plan , brings recommendations to the SFAI which are then shot down. Back to square 1 .

You have managed, in a thread about local authority corruption, to have a pop at the FAI. That is literally incredible.

I heard an interesting idea. At the moment there is no legislation to allow people to leave their jobs and enter public service and go back unless you are a teacher. While you don't want them all like this, why not allow space where senior mangers in industry, the unions and whathave you can run for office knowing if they get in their jobs will be there when they leave after 4/8 years? This might see an exodus of the duds who gave us the crash, but we might also get actual talent in there who understand what is going on.
