1. Doesn’t fulsome mean insincere in the context of apologies or flattery?

2. Why do we put up with them smh.

3. Interesting that he’s no longer taking questions and answers in the Dáil on this. I’d expected to see it on the schedule for the first week back, but no sign of it, given that he promised to do so.

   Maybe he thinks that because he resigned as a minister he shouldn’t have to – but he’s still there as a TD and I don’t see why his commitment to giving a full account to the Dáil shouldn’t stand.

4. “Sure look, he apologised and that’s that”

   – some persons Dad

5. A shit leopard can’t change its spots.

6. I see FF rating plummeting even further every time he appears beside Martin

7. Lessons have been learned

8. “mistakes were made and we’ve apologized for them” FF election slogan

10. Seen RTE news report on the street in Mullingar a few weeks back.

    One woman being interviewed gave her best “he apologised, and people have done worse, he’s a great man”.

    Imagine being that fucking blinkered……..

11. Apologies for wrong doings from elected officials are irrelevant – they are supposed to be first by example…when they are not, they have to go

12. Go on Troyser

13. “I’ve made an insincere apology and will do so again today.” – says man with media training and press advisers.

    Jesus wept.

14. He doesn’t want to get off the gravy train.

15. Move into a rental and we’ll consider it.

16. Brilliant news. It’s always better to see these guys fucked out of their seats than slinking away.

17. Let him. That’s why we vote.

18. I think politicians (or amateur politicians) conflate full and genuine with fulsome, those two words do not mean the same thing… like, you wouldn’t say I gave a ‘generous or abundant ‘ apology, it sounds arsey… Big Phil has a lot to answer for #golfgate

19. Why shouldn’t he contest the next election, works for Michael lowry.

20. I’m all for him contesting the next election tbh – after he’s been publicly flogged.

21. And we intend to give him a crushing defeat at that election
