Daily Mail: Mahon report to be published after summer, will dismiss Bertie's evidence

[CookieMonster]

I wonder will he update the glowing CV that's up on the Washington Speaker's Bureau website. It's good for a laugh (or to see your breakfast again).

Oh! Link please.

What are the chances that the DPP will get involved?

In the end Bertie's own greed cost him more money than he would have received if he had governed with honesty, decency, integrity and in the interests of the Irish people.

For he could have ended his political career as President with the massive perks and salary that brings.

Quite frankly along with Haughey. . . No pair have caused more damage to this state and its citizens.

It had a few FF cabinet ministers fooled for a while but.....

yes indeed

I think Bertie believed he was going to do both - I don't believe for a moment he thought it would catch up with hom, such was the degree of FF infiltration into the media, judiciary and the Gardai.

yes indeed

What tangled webs we weave when first we practice to deceive...

It also cost him the one thing he wanted most of all... the love and adoration of de peeple. He was a pretty lonely and undistinguished character who didn't do as Haughey did and use his cunning and guile to enrich himself he used it to build a his self confidence and feed his need to be liked.

He was smart enough to do what he needed to get to the top, but not nearly smart enough to keep himself there.

I hope the Mahon report fillets the scummy little spiv and leaves whatever is left of his reputation in tatters.

How will this be debated in Oireachtas. Given that FF are now in opposition.

The fact that FF are in opposition will ensure that they will not be able to stymie the discussion on the report's findings.

Oh! Link please.

I'll have to wash my screen now.

You mean, a Man of the People brought down by the Old Clongonian West Brit elites of the Law Library?
