    "Lack of Experience cost Gallaher the election"

    Noel Whelan and other FF spokespersons are suggesting that lack of experience is Gallaher's problem. Just listend to NW on RTE television, heard some guy from SG campaign speaking earlier on RTE.

    Is that FF-Speak for he is not yet an accomplished liar?

    Lack of experience in talking bollox? Sure isn't that what he does for a living?

    Does Whelan take us all for fools?

    His big mistake was not putting everything out in the open day one, if he had done this he might have still survived.

    He did nothing illegal but he was caught out badly and that finished him.

    I will say though that some of Michael D's comments about companies and people who strive to create employment by extension were rather populous and distasteful as well.

    Fianna Fail Noel Whelan isn't too happy. Seems quite angry what SF did to his ex flatmate.

    Typo in OP.

    Surely you mean lack of integrity??

    Makes no sense otherwise... Oh wait, Noel Whelan.

    Lying and obfuscation cost him the election - that and his close association with the party that destroyed this country's economy.

    The point was that a seasoned politician would have had the instinct to go back at McGuinness in the same vein. Going negative for one night would not have hurt him as much as the hole digging he embraced.
