Phil Hogan - We'll miss him now he's gone

[Massey]

He’ll go for the right price.€€€€€

Hugh O’Flaherty 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.

Charlie McCreevy tried to soften the blow by nominating him for a cushy position with the European Investment Bank

Claire Byrne had Shane Ross and former District Justice Michael Patwell on discussing Woulfies fate this morning. Before an important piece on the significance of salt and pepper in cookery.

Of course he was. “He should just keep his head down”

Wolfie Wolfie Wolfie, he committed no crime other than outrage Brendan and Nuala

He’s upset Fat Frankie though.

It seems like the other members of the Supreme Court feel they can’t work with Woulfie. This really is unchartered territory and unprecedented. It’s going to be a real headache for Champ and Minister McEntee trying to fill 8 judicial posts on the Supreme Court all at the same time.

FFG being in coalition will make this task considerably easier.

Any prospective candidates for judicial appointment from the IRA/SF ranks, currently in the Law Library? Back in the day, Seamus Sorohan S.C. would have been very republican minded but there wouldn’t have been many, if indeed any of his ilk in the Law Library.

[Julio_Geordio]

They’ll have to bring young finucane down from up North. He’s already familiar with the lads he’ll be trying so it should be a short settling in period

[Biff_Egan]

Roman Shorthall?

[Special_Olympiakos]

Joe Brolly could be fast tracked

I wouldn’t be familiar with the law library but I’m guessing there wouldn’t be too many Shinners knocking around

plenty of stinkers, not so many shinners

Wasn’t the head of the Oireachtas golf society a Worker’s Party man?

[Special_Olympiakos]

Donie Cassidy and Noel Grealish are the top dogs in the Golf society

[Raylan]

Donie is ex-officio but still holds the cards was the impression I got

[iron_mike]

What’s the state of play now Art? I haven’t got a chance to catch up on it. Is he toast?

[ChairmanDan]

Are you thinking of former Workers Party TD and current Circuit Judge, Pat McCartan who was also golfing and dining in Clifden?

Judge Pat seems to have been forgotten about such was the focus on hounding Big Phil and Woulfie out of office.

[Biff_Egan]

That’s the one. Proof that the proletariat are also welcome to golf with the elite
