  1. Wonder what might be about to come out now…

    Edit: based on the statement looks like the beginning of Bakhurst cleaning house

  2. As a comment I seen here the other day said.

    “Keep digging, keep bloody digging. There’s more to be found here!”

    Edit: also, notice how he said in the statement that he believed the incoming DG “had a tough job ahead of him and it would be easier if he had a fresh lead on the team”

    Yeeeeaahhh because this is absolutely about you making his life or everyone’s life easier and definitely not about jumping a sinking ship. What’s about to come out I wonder?

  3. The incoming DG briefed the press about his intention to ‘clean house’ when he takes the post. Tenner bets Coveney was first in line for a date with Madame Guillotine, and knew it. I’d say a few more will follow shortly.

  4. Gonna land himself at yet another company that ends up in the shit.

    The man has prior

  5. Where are the users that told us that Coveney had nothing to answer for as he wasn’t involved with anything? (despite being the Director of Strategy). They’re noticeably silent about this, and the whole thing in general.

    Seems to be that Rory has a lot to answer for given he’s decided to run away, after the horse has bolted in true Fine Gael fashion.

    I wonder if he was involved with making up jobs for his friends like his brother Simon was or to what extent his role was in these dodgy, potentially illegal payments?

  6. Convenient that he can just quit without working his notice

  7. Is there something in our culture that makes us as a people so corrupt?

  8. Any mention of pension/ payoff he’s getting?

  9. There will be more. I would wager this was a push out rather than a genuine resignation. Any incoming director general would want to clean house

  10. Coveney coveney coveney, hmmm, where have I heard that surname before?? surely not simons brother,

  11. Shouldn’t be allowed to resign until he has answered all the questions. He must have got a glimpse of what is to come and jumped ship. Now he will just claim that his health is suffering and he will not be able to attend any more meetings.

    Geraldine O’Leary will probably try next, and she should definitely not be allowed. Remember, Backhurst is there because of them. He is one of them. He will look after them first. before he does anything else. Rotten all the way down.
