Mick Wallaceās work of highlighting corruption within State organisations is worth far more than a couple of million quid.
FG introduced rules that allowed people that were guilty of certain offences to become a TD. I think itās safe to say that this wasnāt brought in for the likes of Mick Wallace. Misdemeanour apart, Mick has been a great public representative and thereās a delicious irony in how he achieved it.
Lolz. Heās fortunate that state organisations donāt target independent TDs who are ruffling a few feathers. Poor Claire Daly on that trumped up drink driving charge and the scurrilous arrest and charge of Paul Murphy for taking part in a peaceful protest.
The irony is that Tory Boy who intervened here to try and hold himself up as a paragon of moral virtue openly glorifies corruption and tax fraud himself
Tax evasion is ruffling a few feathers? Interesting double standards from Mike, though with your general tax knowledge you exhibit on here regularly you probably donāt see the issue with what Wallace did.
No Tim, he was ruffling a few feathers in his anti corruption work as was Claire Daly, Catherine Murphy, Paul Murphy etc. All were targeted by arms of the state because of this. Usual approach by cap doffers to whistle blowing is to target the messenger, one Iām sure you approve of. You may fool some on here with your alleged knowledge Tim but scratch a little deeper and your full of old spoof and bluster with little or no real knowledge of anything really.
You seem to be the cap doffer here. Happy enough that the local big wig didnāt pay his tax like everyone else. All because he has a wacky haircut and a Torino jersey, itās like thinking following a rock band is sticking it to the system.
Let me be clear for the slow of comprehension, I do not condone Mickās non payment of taxes.
I have merely applauded his attempts to rectify his misdemeanour. It is you who has double standards here Timothy. Raging against the EU for getting Apple to pay their fair share while angrily lambasting Mick who has at least made some attempts to recompense the tax payer even it is in the form of an in-kind repayment.
How has he rectified his behaviour? He is doing his job as a politican. People do good things and bad things, thatās just life.
Youāre windmilling badly here as your hypocrisy has been called out. Youāve spent years throwing poorly informed mud at others over tax but give this guy a pass for some strange teenage fantasy over faux anti establishment figures. Weird.
You forgot to mention that the state could not have done this without the full and enthusiastic cooperation of āinvestigative journalistsā who pretend to work in the publicās interests and keep the state in check.
The time Wallace was pulled over by the cops for nothing, no arrest made but there just happened to be an Indo journalist sitting with the garda that pulled Mick over ready to take Mickās picture and the next morning that picture was on the front page of the Indo as if Mick Wallace had committed a crime.
The time the cops came to one of those socialist TDās house (I forget which one of them) and they had a journalist with them taking photos of the inside of that poor personās house in complete breach of their Constitutional rights. That cooperation was completely unlawful of course but no fucks were given and there were no repurcussions.
One rule for the parties and another rule for everyone else and god forbid that you actually oppose one of these parties or expose some of their wrong doing, then you will need to watch out as they will use the arms of the state to get you.
