I, on someone’s recommendation, have rang Castlebar Garda Station several times. The justice in this country is a joke! If I were reporting someone for not having a TV licence they’d probably be locked up. (Slight exaggeration – poetic licence)

Castlebar probably too close to home Réada. Afterall didn’t he do great things for the town and county? You can be damn sure Flynn knows far too much to be scapegoated by FF or anyone else.

No exaggeration Réada according to the Irish Examiner 132 people received a jail sentence last year for non payment of their TV license….

Yeah Rommell
We could offer him witness protection in exchange for shooting off his big gob on The Late Late one more time!

@ Reada & Rommel

I’d go with that, as much as I’m biting my hand here at the moment, if it works! :) But, the farm or his pension will have to go also?

Reada, I’m going to butcher a quote here in relation to the persuit of capitalist (I don’t like the phrase white collar) crime in this country. Here goes:
”If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is bothered to listen has the tree made any noise or, indeed, even fallen at all?”

Yeah stay away from the Gardai in Castlebar. He’s a hero down there. Sure he fixted the rhoad

I’ve heard better from you John. A lot better. And Gatard I’m ringing them again now but this time I’m going to heed Kerry and tell them he has no TV licence. Glad he fixed the road cos that squad car will be revved up! ;)

If Pee Flynn or Ahern are turned over by FF then they will carry most of the leading names of FF of the last 30 years with them. There would be more FF cllr’s and ex-ones in jail than in chambers.

This is why the FF National Exec. refused to condemn those named in the Mahon report, why it refused to censure them, and why it will refuse to report Flynn. There are many people in FF from the local cumann finance officer pocketing donations and enjoying church collection funded pub sessions all the way up to the TD/Minister receiving tens of thousands to have legislation amended etc etc.

Bertie Ahern, Pee Flynn etc would receive a standing ovation at the next FF Ard Fheis if they turned up, deep down they are admired by their party members for getting so much off the state and others, you can’t change a party that is rotten to the core.

Good question James and one the whole population of Ireland would love to know. Gangsters paradise.

I think the whole issue revolves around whether the Rozzers decide to persue a crime or just kinda by accident stumble on it James. Like for instance they can set up shop on a straight patch of the N11 and do ya for speeding or they can be just driving along, going home for their dinner say, and spot ya tareing past the ‘Nob an’ Socket’ pub and hawl ya in. Now that’s not the same, of course, as having yer fist in banjacksing the country, that involves prearranged visits to yer local station for a polite conversation and tea and buiscits and then…well, and then? Of course you always have the facility (in fact the obligation as an upstanding citizen) of phoning the local station to report a crime that they may not already be aware of. But then if allegations in relation to that crime have already been headline news you’d think they’d already kinda know about it.
Tell ya what, we could ring our local nick and see what they might tell us…The phrase ‘F Off’ is kinda spring to mind here.

Banana Republic

It’s only the tip of the iceberg on this.

Gardai won’t pursue a case unless there is a complaint from the victim, with the exception of offences against children or cases where the victim is so badly injured they can’t make a complaint.

This has been abandoned in other countries because it was regarded as a wife-beater’s charter, but while domestic abuse is the most obvious example, it also counts against any offence where the perpetrator is in a position to intimidate the victim.

I have no idea why we still take this line here.

for a theft to have happened there has to be an injured party. if the money was destined for fianna fail then they are the injured party and so it’s up to the party’s trustees to make the complaint

It’s a test they will ultimately fail. But the Truth won’t fail. These parties are eating themselves from the inside out. No longer will deception be tolerated. The veil is lifting. Alleluia. ;)

Sod all will happen Ryan because the entire Irish political system is one big club…FF don’t give a shit about anyone else only themselves and protecting their own hides…which is an exercise is futility as they are bajaxed for the next two elections anyway. What a play it would make to see Peeeeeee let all them cats out of the bag….knobhead might yet do this country a favour.

Daddy?

The behaviour of your damn party hasn’t been up to much either Hugh!

Yet you remain a member of a party riddled with corruption and cronyism. Pri*k Flynn is only the tip of the iceberg and you know it.

Question Hugh:
If Fianna Fail brought all the politicians that took money (under the premise that it was going to the party) to the civil court they could really help there ailing party finances.

P Flynns alone would be worth excess of €150k conservatively. FF look good as the guys going after corruption…

Just see a win win for FF.

That’s a real Fianna Fail word there Hugh: ‘Unacceptable’. Why not try an’ stutter out de word ‘criminal’?

Hugh C
I am surprised that anyone is still a member of FFailures… Amazed . Fair play to you to admitting such a thing .
P Flynn ,B Aherne et al ,and their collective behavior brought Ireland to her knees. FF is finished , or should be …
Like John says Fianna Fail = criminal
Childers is fantastic , a strong honest ,speak as you find type of woman … Well done Nessa :)

@ Taidi

Right beside ya! When? :)

We tried an #ArrestBertie tag but it didn’t take off. There was a #LetsBeatTheShiteOutaFlynn one too. I was surprised that one didn’t tho. It had a nice ring to it. ;)

I get the van

@Frank 2521

Just sick. We may have to get a bigger van (Bernadette!) a taser wouldn’t go a miss either! Stick it to their fat asses!

Why don’t you as a leading member of Ogra FF make a complaint. Why don’t you get berate the FF Nat. Exec. for refusing to censure or even issue a statement condemning the actions of Flynn etc.

It’s not going to happen and we both know why. If Flynn starts talking he will have half of the people who have been FF TD’s over the last 30 being investigated for corruption and criminality.

As for calling the money tainted, no the man who took it is tainted, not the money. Look at M.Martin who had political donations from the tainted Mahon developer Owen o’Callaghan resting in his wife’s bank accounts. Standard practice as Michael pointed out but shouldn’t FF refund that money as well, if it is going to start giving tainted money back.

The airways are full of FF members and reps commentating about how their party is being renewed, is setting higher standards and is now an honest org. However we do not see any actual actions to suggest that that is the case.
By all

Martin,Is Pee Flynn in your top 5 role models along with Bertie and Charlie now? and you calling Childers and idiot lol.

Thats one certified idiot talking about how another certified idiot put an alleged idiot in her place. George Hook is a fart in the wind. You obviously dig the smell.

Nessa Childers has more balls than you have brains
