She had stepped aside from the practice afaik

Yes, but after the claim was commenced.

His wife is an adviser to some FG minister or other, possibly Charlie Flanagan. RTÉ is a joke in that sense as people with familial ties to particular parties feign neutrality when moderating political debates and so on.

[Little_Lord_Fauntleroy]

yes, the one that tried to destroy SRFC

[Batigol]

SOR should just got as far as “why would you need a supervisor at a swing?” and just repeated that.

If ever there was an enemy of the forum then.

Sean O Rourke is a great man.

@Special_Olympiakos

Paddy thinks no marks like O Rourke are brilliant probers.

Here’s a good example of O’Rourke not doing his job properly

@Sidney

Sean O’Rourke’s performance on a debate this morning was an absolute disgrace. Katie Ascough spouted a torrent of lies including the guff about foetuses being able to yawn and the supposed “regret” women feel after abortion, and O’Rourke didn’t pull her up on one.

Pat Kenny, to be fair, has been a lot better during this campaign than O’Rourke, who has been fucking woeful all through it.

Kenny destroyed Ascough when she was on his programme last month. She’s an absolute bullshitter who only has pre-prepared lines and can’t think when challenged. O’Rourke was prepared to allow her shout them (and that was her tone of voice) without interruption. Shocking moderation.

his wife works as an advisor for FG

[myboyblue]

It probably could have been worse for her

[Corksfinedtboy]

Past cunts at this stage- they’re bloody dangerous.

[Sidney]

I think rather than focussing on the particular case of Maria Bailey, people should focus on the culture of entitlement and sponging within Fine Gael

She is merely the symptom of a wider culture within that party of gaming the system

They are cheats and frauds

I actually don’t recall a Party ever running away from a sitting TD as quickly in Ireland.

Yeah think it might be Charlie Flanagan. RTÉ is a joke in that sense as people with familial ties to particular parties feign neutrality when moderating political debates and so on.

Pat Kenny’s is the vastly superior show.

[iron_mike]

Swing fall TD Maria Bailey says she won't 'bow down to keyboard warriors and...

The interview is here

Certainly Badgers his guests.

Hi Maria.

Solicitor is hardly going to turn away a PI claim. How could this rebound on solicitor? Presumably the buck stops with client in terms of affidavit of verification that there’s no porkies in the Personal Injury Summons?

Could easily bounce back; if Bailey on SOR is to be believed this case was about 7k of damages and her solicitor started the case in the circuit and the jurisdiction there starts at 15 there exposing the client to costs.

Could be a negligence claim. But then again I’m relying on the word of a person who appears to have told porky pies in her initiating documents.

Hopefully after the notice of discontinuance is served the dean will put the papers in the public domain.

Iirc it’s an offence to tell porky pies on the affidavit of verification.

[GeoffreyBoycott]

That 7k figure is a load of nonsense. You’re pretty much into five figures straight away for a bog standard whiplash or sore neck. What were her alleged injuries?
