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

[Batigol]

@TheUlteriorMotive

Exactly.
Hopefully sense prevails in Leinster House and they don’t seek a remedy not sought from members of the Oireachtas who attended the same event and retained their seats.

It would be quite funny if they determined that going to a golf dinner was a resigning matter but leaking confidential documents wasn’t

@Lazarus

Any serious negotiator would have been able to talk themselves out of the mess Hogan found himself in. Instead Big Phil was forced to resigen

It’s gas looking back. The toughest, most uncompromising, hardest of FG / RIC hard chaws getting his cough softened by auld wans on twitter going…but but but you’re meant to self isolate for 14 days when you return to Ireland.

@artfoley, where would that leave Callery and Hogan from a legal perspective. I know both resigned but on the basis of this could Hogan in particular have a case for some form.of construed constructive dismissal?

[johnnysachs]

I think the real question is how Woulfie got the job in the first place?
While a lot of people in Ireland became armchair experts in the SCOTUS and agonised over who should replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg and what qualifications that person should have, most commentators in this country seem to have an ambivalence towards Woulfie and the process followed to appoint him by FG. What a time to be alive.

It looks like Woulfe compiled the shortlist for the job. It was a very shortlist. Only one name on it. His own

nope, they resigned because they felt that they were doing so for the common good. they also had good jobs to fall back on. hogan also has no recourse as he got a good wallop of change

Are you asking if Hogan could be the boy that cries Woulfe?

[Tassotti]

Thank God Woulfie held firm after the RTE carry on, what an utter disgrace that big Pfil was hounded out my the likes of Miriam O’Callaghan

[flattythehurdler]

This was effectively the Troika junior. Hogan went only because the EU did the right thing. If it was up to paddy, he’d still have his trotters on the rim of the trough and his arse in the air beside Wolfie.
