It is, sorry for the spoiler.
Sure thatās what Bertie did to Charlie McCreavy.

7 years before a āgeniusā scriptwriter thought it up 
Yes, I remember Bertie sending McCreevy off to the EU when he tried to hit the brakes on public spending and the opinion polls didnāt like it. Funny that the likes of Denmark seem to have the same attitude.
Fast forward to us last month and Simon Coveney lost all interest when he realised he wasnāt getting a big job. Iād say Leo would have been happy to see him go.

Are you fucking mental? Charlie McCreevy never put the brakes on spending. Heās on record as having disagreed with public servants who told him stopping it was an an imperative. He wore it as a badge of honour. McCreevey was one of the greatest cunts ever reared here.

FF basically bought the 2002 election and following that McCreevey brought in a number of cuts. FF lost about 160 seats in the 2004 local elections and McCreevey got the blame and was packed off the the EU.
Woulfie seems to be in a bit of a tight spot tonight.

But legally they canāt force him out if heās brazen enough to ignore their call to resign?
Can the cabinet/Taoiseach sack him?
Oireachtas can remove for āstated misbehaviour or incapacityā under Constitution but itās never been done. Heād resign if they went down that avenue I suspect.
Seamie Woulf is fierce bauld altogether.
Itās actually hilarious. Clarke is being humiliated. I guess if Iām anti-lockdown i should support Woulf.

Will be interesting to see if they bring impeachment proceedings. Id say the shinners would be rubbing their hands at the thought of bringing the motion if the govt donāt do it and making the govt try and defend woufe
Heād go if it came to that I think.
Shinners wonāt do it because Bobby Storey funeral would embarrass them.
Clarke commissioned former Chief Justice Denham to carry out a report. The report didnāt yield the expected and anticipated result so heās having a right old sulk and throwing the toys out of the pram. Itās the Lisbon Referendum approach. Democracy only works when it yields the result the politically correct want. Keep at it until that result is achieved. Hopefully Woulfie can brazen it out.
Given whatās gone before I wouldnāt be surprised if he tries to tough it out.
But heās shown himself to be utterly unsuitable for the SC
Hugh OāFlaherty tried to brazen it out twenty years ago for a while for a much more serious misdemeanour over the Philip Sheedy business but once it became apparent that Ronan Keane and the rest of the bench were aligned against him, he was on his bike fairly quickly.
Itās a bit trickier presumably in a court like the Supreme Court where judges donāt preside on their own. You could probably get away with it a bit more as a judicial pariah in the High Court where youāre be sitting solo.
Those letters are fantastic, some real cut to the exchanges.
Wolfie Wolfie Wolfie, he committed no crime other than outrage Brendan and Nuala
