    John O'Donoghues expenses -An FF connection?

    This is a rough amalgam of three posts I made on the John O'Donoghue expense in Bermingham thread.
    Given that its the first possible Fianna Fail related motive for spending excessive sums, I thought it was worth its own thread. (Despite there being a litter of JOD threads)

    It looks as if the limo company owner Terence Gallagher, may well be the son of an ex FF TD.
    Gallagher is from Achill.

    Thanks to Gavins Blog for providing the first two batches of files...

    Think I may have got closer....
    Reading this...
    Western People - 2002/08/14: Achill - Recent Death

    I wonder would the Terry Gallagher, Son of ex Fianna Fail TD Denis Gallagher, be the Limo man?

    Also Gavins Blog on the JOD driver states
    "The directors are Terence Gallagher and Margaret Gallagher, both with addresses in Ealing. " It doesn't state that they have the same address.

    According to Western People death notice Denis Gallagher (ex FF TD) had a son Terence and a daughter Margaret.
    So it may be the brother and sister that own the car hire business.

    There ae pictures here of the Gallaghers, given the names of the individuals involved its the family of Denis Gallagher. (there may well be two Gallagher families as some Gallaghers have (Denis) beside them.)
    If anyone knows what Denis jnr looks(or looked) like or indeed anyone else in the family. Then this may further establish if it is the Terry Gallagher, son of ex FF TD) that is the limo man.
    Images of the past, 1980's, Currane, Achill, West of Ireland

    This may well be the reason O'Donoghue is keeping so quiet.

    Of course they are but if the government are paying well over the norm to Limo firms run by certain FF families, it's in the public interest to know about that

    If this link is true, it looks like an organised FF fraud. In any other functioning western democracy, the government would fall. If this link is true, JOD has to resign, just like ahern had to resign when his lies were found out.

    This leads to more questions though.

    1. How many other FFers used this service?

    2. Why is JOD's hire costs a lot more than if you or me call up and get a price?

    3. What civil servant arranged all of this?

    You can be guaranteed that if there is some FF connection here,they probably paid 4 times more than what a normal limo firm charges,that's the FF way.

    JO'D is very quickly being forced into having to rebut all the rumour and innuendo.

    Well, maybe this is why he stayed silent, he hoped no more would come out.

    If this firm is owned by the son and daughter of a former FF TD, then this is a major scandal. This is almost GUBU stuff. I really hope some print/radio journalists run with this and start asking some questions tomorrow.
