They should have zeroed in on John Perry far more. The property he was declaring as a car park for his supermarket is a good 10-15min walk from the shop. It also contains a listed building. I'd love to hear him explain how it could be classed as part of the supermarket. I won't go into anymore but they are facts. The monaghan fella was some ejjit. Anyone that votes for him should be castrated. All you could feel was pity for the simpletons at the council meeting applauding him for using the cover of a local issue to get out of the lime light. ------------- I won the Player of the Century award thanks to the people.Pele was second.He also came second behind Aryton Senna as Brazil's greatest sportsman.The award FIFA gave Pele isn't worth sh*t - Maradona |

Exactly what I was thinking!
That was absolutely fooking hilarious. I thought the comedy arrived earlier in the day when on radio the same lad said he was just playing along for the craic (including explaining to the interviewer what 'taking the piss' meant ) but glad he saved the real gold for the programme. And then the bit at the end where's resigning from Fine Gael because of all the 'self serving politicians'.
You couldn't have made up a funnier story/character in fairness. Talk about striking gold - that whole programme could not have gone any better for RTE! |

I dont think that programme is a shock to anybody tbh. I actually nearly admire the balls on that Monaghan guy, couldn't give a flying f**k. I read an article in the Independant i think it was, about 6 or 7 years ago, that said Monaghan is a bit unique in terms of politics in this state. A county with a large population of Prodestants that consistantly vote Blueshirt, regardless. Maybe thats why he didnt give a toss. I've always been more of a traditionalist myself. Id prefer to see my representatives armed, and in Military Uniform, like 100 years ago. You know if they're willing to take a bullet for you, they won't rip you off. |

No, but the military in government tend to be more likely to put a bullet in you than either taking one for you or ripping you off. I'd be careful exactly what you wish for. -------------

Ray Burke's corruption was a front page story in the Indo in 1974. Haughey was known to corrupt since the 1960's. Lawlor was also known from an early stage. As for Bertie the most cunning and devious of them all..... At 14 I could name the councilors in Limerick that were on the take and those that were straight. The reality is too many this country turns a blind eye to corruption and it doesn't matter where in the country they are from. It's cross party too btw. |

Unfortunately the story in 1974 was Ray Burke being cleared of wrong doing. Haughey and Lawlor may have been suspected, but no-one 'knew'. My point remains, as soon as a Dub politician is exposed they are gone. Compare and contrast with Lowry and Fahey. ------------- He is Karl Pilkington in the LOI section and Karl Marx outwith it |

In Monaghan there are 2 Fine Gael camps really. Heather Humpherys (minister) and Ciara mc Philips (councillor) Sean Conlon (TD but resigned with Hughie last week) and Hughie mcelvaney. Both camps hate eachother and all live within a 10 mile radius. Hughie is blaming the other camp of colluding with rte to get him set up. The Sean conlon TD is up on assault charges for glassing someone in his bar in ballybay at the minute too. A great bunch of lads |

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. ------------- I won the Player of the Century award thanks to the people.Pele was second.He also came second behind Aryton Senna as Brazil's greatest sportsman.The award FIFA gave Pele isn't worth sh*t - Maradona |

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 . ------------- l hear you are a racist now, father ? |
