[yehbut_nobut]

Director-General Rody Molloy and his wife travelled widely on behalf of FAS.
In a four-year period, Molloy, sometimes flying with his wife, clocked up almost €48,000 in business-class airfares. In February of this year they incurred an airfare bill for a return trip to the east coast of America for €7,500.
Last year alone, the Molloys flew to New York in May, costing €6,655. Both travelled business class. In November they returned to New York, with airfares costing €7,281. Last year they cost FAS €6,455 for a similar trip, business class again .
The Molloys also visited Boston on a cheaper €1,634 flight in June 2005. In July 2004, the pair flew to Orlando at a cost of €9,648 for the business class fares.

Cowen's response?

I know him and he has been an excellent public servant down through the years," he said. "I have every confidence in him."

Unbefuppinglievable! Has the muppet really learned nothing?

If there was ever proof that Fianna Fail are neither capable nor qualified to manage the Economy, this is it.

Do you people not understand that this man is a member of the ruling class?

And to think he is forced to fly on scheduled airlines along with members of the public.

It's an outrage. Why does he not have a taxpayer funded Lear jet?

Surely Cowen should have at least come out with some no-commital holding statement along the lines of "await the result of enquiries blah blah."

Has the man ANY clue at all? Or does he just not care anymore?

(and as an aside- how's his health?)
