I’d say a few old stagers will resign before or just after the budget to allow for an election this year, and make it look like Simon wasn’t lying. There’s a few bye elections due as well

Some company whose founder was linked to Pachal Donohoe during that whole election poster scandal

The company who got the contract, the founder is one of Paschal the rascals bessie mates. The guy that was putting up the posters for him. This must be the pay off for taking the bullet for Paschal during the poster hooha

I wonder how the governments own investigation is going? It’s taking a while for what can, at most, be the making of about 3 phone calls

Isn’t that the simpleton that said “make crime illegal”?

Maybe he did; first I heard of him was that Tweet. But he does seem to be a bit soft soap on far right headbangers.

This looks like a non-story to me.

Those far right lunatics don’t understand business.

No Simon Harris, the Taoiseach, said it was “inexcusable” so I think we are safe enough to assume it’s big deal

The suggested donation amount at the end :laughing:

The type of folk that don’t get that without Lowry you’d still be waiting 6 months for Telecom Eireann to install your phone line.

Exactly.

As @BruidheanChaorthainn has said in the past, there was never a housing crisis when the developers could bribe the politicians.

Soundbite Simon also said that any investigation into the Bike shed shouldn’t focus on any individual. In others words “fuck off”.

Roisin Shorthall and some other politician were on Newstalk last week and they were saying the same thing, that ultimately the minister should be held responsible rather than the people who signed off on it. It’s just the civil service mindset - no responsibility and no accountability. Bunch of fucking wasters.

I think the issue is not so much who signed off on it, individually, but rather how a little bike could cost so much? Like there must be cost controls somewhere (otherwise they could make it out of diamonds and platinum) but what are they and are they suitable.

Yep sure when you see Harris become Taoiseach after the mess he made in Health, signing off on a children’s hospital which is now costing over 2billion sure the folks below in the civil service must piss themselves laughing at those gobshites and run rings around them knowing that the politicians don’t have the guts to take them on.
