    Finian Mc Grath.....Alone and Principled

    hi all...glad to see Finian has done the right thing and resigned his teaching post.......

    However theyres lots more left who still hang on to their posts, indeed in some cases men worth millions with multiple ministerial pensions and long service still hang on.

    Personally I consider them immoral and feel that finians example should be followed......

    Hmmm.....how long is he in th Dail now, and with probabley another five years at least.
    What took him so long - was he waiting for his Dail pension rights to kick in?

    pragmatic

    'Alone and pragmatic' - perhaps; I dont know that a five-year delay function on the activation of one's 'principles' is really that convincing.
