Mr Shatter, just “Get a life” and answer the question!!!

Do the public, who elected him and pay his exorbitant wage plus ridiculous expenses not have a right to know whether he had dealings with a crooked politician? He sounds like a man backed into a corner and lashing out… Without confirmation and noting your behaviour regarding the matter mr. Shatter, we can only assume you DID hold a meeting with lowry and it’s outcome was favourable to him, else why try so defiantly to hide it? Jesus h. This coalition never ceases to amaze in the worst possible way.

Guilty by silence……..

Is it too early in the life of this Government to paraphrase Sarah Palin?
“So Ireland, how’s that hopey changey thing going for ya?”

It’s pot, kettle, black politics not one of those self serving political bast#rds can claim the moral high ground and start pontificating to each other, everyone of them has had there hands in the till and those who have been caught couldn’t care less as they know there peers won’t say a word as they’ll bring them down with them. When in Rome….

What are you hiding, Alan?

Ok so we’ll That as a “Yes, yes I did”

where are endas gold stars now?

Surprise surprise, shatter avoids a difficult question..

This guy becomes creepier with every passing day.

How does this man ever expect the public to trust anything he says with an attitude like this?

I’ll take it as a yes that they did meet. Arrogant clown.

He’s a useless sh1te, in a party of useless sh1tes

More arrogance from these bunch of traitors.

Shatter always has a sumg ‘i dont care what you little people think’ look on his face, minister for ‘justice’ what f***in’ justice is there in this country when corrupt politians can meet with the minister for justice yet no sanctions are even being comtemplated against them. It’s us the ordinary workers who are being punished for all the wrong doings of our politians and financial leaders while at the same time they treat us with comtempt, especially that sumg looking ass**** Shatter

Crooks the lot of them !!! Election time can not come soon enough.

Does he not have to declare all meetings in his diary?

Why does the present government avoid openness and transparency, ?
The very thing that is badly needed in Irish politics.

This guy is not suited to politics. He is one of the most uncomfortable media performers that I have seen in a long time. He inspires absolutely no confidence, has no personality and on top of this can’t answer a bloody straight question having had time to consider it. This one will be played out dramatically in the Dail shortly. How soon could there be a cabinet reshuffle, at the very least, to move the muppet from such a crucial post, as he is drowning here?

Government collapse is coming I can smell it or else it’s the jacks at work here but I’m sure the smell would be the same. Election time before this year is over, I’d put my bottom dollar (euro) on it but that’s already gone to pay Anglo bill.

He can run but he cannot hide forever he is like a snake in the grass.

Transparency, I like it……..

So Shatter proves again that he doesn’t believe he is answerable to the Irish people… He needs to find another line of work.

@ Sheila Byrne… I love your comments and fully agree most of the time but I don’t think they’re are any decent politicians anymore..so therefore there’s none to stand up and be counted . The only one that I can remember that made an impression on me is Pearse Doherty(when he brought FF to court over local elections I think). .. I’m fed up with FG, FF, LAB… Nothing honest about any of them.. Im giving SF the benefit of the doubt in the next election… They fought hard in the north in the civil war, (rightly or wrongly is a personal opinion), and I like to think they would do the same in the south for us…

Is this the same muppet who has outsourced policework to a private entity, namely Integrated Risk management in Co. Mayo and who have closed roads and physically detained protesters even though as civilians they have no legal entitlement to do so? These operations are conducted in the full view of Gardai and legally amount to assault, illegal detention and obstruction of traffic! And yet the brave Irish media, including the Journal don’t even report it! The people of Ireland have surrendered their rights which were obtained at a terrible cost and can be said to deserve the mess they have created!
Beir Bua!

No government anywhere does open and transparent.

“I won it on the horses” “I won’t say if I met him or not”,… Spot the difference,? Nah,me neither,!

shatter not saying whether he ever pulled his wire…

not news move on…

Is there any better than fg in opposition at this particular moment in time?, that’s the killer, if there was a general election in the morning

Ahhh Alan…. Tell me how long have you been displaying these signs of paranoia,, that the media have an agenda against you…….

why would they give a f..k about us the ordinary hardworking ( the ones lucky to have a job ) people. when they have their over inflated salaries for the next four years and then a golden handshake plus a pension for life.?

If you want a snapshot of this government then look no further than shatter…Smug and arrogant…..Another reason why having experience does not necessary make you the candidate best suited to hold the justice portfolio….

The only way you can become a politician is to be a little bit ropey or become ropey to survive
Stroke,s ,lie,s and no conscience about junket,s or expenses

I have no time for lowry he makes me sick. I also can’t understand why he tops the poll every election. The corruption around lowry is not new. It’s been around for years. What I can’t understand is the big deal about fellow td having meetings with him . Like it or not (and I don’t) he is a elected td and is within is rites to meet minsters. You can agrue he should not be a td but u can’t complain that he is doing the job he was elected to.

I think we can safely assume he did then.
