Whatâs the point of being garda commissioner if you canât protect the integrity of the force as you see fit? A nothing story⌠That McCabe is sickening ⌠As for Howlin⌠Lolz is all I can say.
Heâs admitted it hasnt he?
That it wasnât his source had been in contact with O Sullivan. But another journalist had told his source. But his source was ârock solidâ
Given everything thatâs happened on noirins watch, the only way she could protect whatâs left of the integrity of AGS is to get the bullet or quit
O Sullivan sent two super Nintendos in to lie to a judge. Donât know why people are reluctant to believe what Howlin has alleged. The Gardai are a disgrace at the top. The shite theyâve tried to pin on McCabe. Imagine if he hadnt recorded the conversation. Like the Blueshirts, their arrogance was their undoing.

I donât doubt what heâs saying at all. Just irresponsible delivering third hand info the way he did. A reputable newspaper wouldnât do it
Thereâs no such thing in ireland

True enough.
Even if he had heard direct from a journalist who had spoken to o sullivan hearsay is hardly enough to make public the accusations .
When McCabe himself came forward he had a litany of hard evidence, tape recordings etc
Oh I agree thatâs itâs hearsay and takes away somewhat from what was alleged in the dail.
But given whatâs gone before in this whole sorry saga leads me to give a lot of credence to it and after what happened to Gemma OâDoherty and McCabe would you blame anyone for not putting their head above the parapet.
The fact that the govt havenât released OâNeills report either is fairly telling
Itâs usually when incidents like this crop up and pressure mounts on the government that yer man Austin Stack is wheeled out. Look over there! The IRA did something in the 1980s and Gerry Adams is covering it up!

Itâs pretty fortunate that Adams keeps on giving them an out alright. He prob wasnât thinking about the long term consequences when he was ordering Jean McConvilleâs abduction though âŚ
Nope, he was trying to stop a tout putting nationalists lives at risk.

For sure
He can hardly whine when his actions have consequences now so
Apologies for interrupting the age old Gerry argument.
Hereâs Stephen Donnellyâs email.

I just had immense fun writing him an email. It felt great. I would encourage others to do likewise.
Post up your email to him please.

It could do with some editing (slightly rambling) but I wanted to get it sent while I had tthe opportunity.
Dear Stephen,
What is there to say??? Iâve admired you for a few years now. Hell, I had you at 8/1 with Paddy Powers to be elected in 2011 because I thought you were an excellent speaker and had integrity.* As a self-employed small business owner I identified with a lot of your opinions. So you can imagine my disappointment in hearing this weekâs news.
You were elected by people who most certainly DIDNâT want to vote for FF. Iâm sure youâll agree with that. And yet you decided to do join FF. Youâve constantly argued that we needed something different, a new vision on which to build our society. Does FF offer that? Look at your new partyâs position on water charges(to name but one example). Is that new politics or the dirty, snakelike populism they have shown down the years repeatedly. I apologise if that offends you but it used to be your opinion not too long ago as pointed out by Drivetime, and you werenât shy about letting us, the people, know about it. Down with the old ways, jobs for the boys, etc. The FF way. So why the change of heart?
The Social Democrats polled fairly well in lots of constituencies and your 3 major TDs topped the polls. Thatâs a mandate. Turning your back on the people who elected you is exactly what you would expect from a FF party member; dirty, obvious, naked political opportunism.
I wonder how, having failed to make any impact with a party you designed, you think you can implement change through the the longstanding beacon of corruption that is FF? Either you have changed or you think you can change FF, which would lead me to believe that you are either extremely naive or superman. I imagine neither is the case. So in truth, your assertion that they are the party that most represent your position seems to actually be correct. I hope you enjoy your time at the Galway races.
Yours in disgust, dismay and resignation,
Juhniallio**
*This is a white lie. @RaymondCrotty posted him up as a bet and I checked him out because of that. Itâs a pity Rayâs political judgement has gone to shit since he went native.
