Trevor Sargent in hot water over headed notepaper letter to Garda

[The_Big_Fellow]

He is currently locked in the toilets in Leinster House with his mobile stuck up
his bum.

For the love of God - no one ring Dan Boyle at the moment.

I've posted photos of the relevant pages from the Herald into this thread turdsl.

It doesn't really matter that some form of skullduggery got this into the open, it's possible. If it's true, Trevor Sargent needs to resign.

Sargent denies interfering in case - The Irish Times - Tue, Feb 23, 2010

He's doing it to give Trev a right to reply.

But it looks like Trev will have to go.

If the opposition go too hard it'll five the Govt an opportunity to circle the wagons and hit back with 'witchhunt' claims.

Remember, Willie only went after his apperanace with Sean O'Rourke.

Give him enough rope....

I don't think it will lead to anything, mind.

Almost every TD has been down this road before.

Have they?

It's one thing making enquires on behalf of a Constituent, asking the Gardai to look at it or hurry up or whatever. It's another to tell the Gardai that they should drop the charges as according to the Hearld Sargent did here.

It is becoming clear to me these two parties, not only aren't suited to each other but privately they despise each other more to the core.

Apart from the mandatory spin, I didn't think there was anything private about it.

TDs writing letters that seem like an attempt to interfere in the legal process, eh? Last time I heard of anything like that it was on Planet Bertie!

Question is, will Ryan and Gormley be able to continue to sit at the Cabinet Table with Dermot Ahern after this?

[lostexpectation]

where did this come from?

Feck that, group text everyone NOW.....

I would suspect in any case he has himself signed up for breaking news alerts, so while the news may be bad.....
