  6. What has a candidate in the local elections from 2009 have to do with this sitting government?

  7. Another song and dance about a non-issue. Who better to fix a problem than someone who stands to benefit massively from the problem continuing and who’s been willing to lie about it in the past and has been shown to pay lip service to the problem to get people to think something is being done about it? Anyway some Sinn Fein politicians are landlords I think etc etc etc

  8. Fair play Richard Hoare and RTE for breaking this story.

    These Callaghan lads are a virus and need to be made an example of. In a time where we need homes, these guys are a part of the problem.

  9. I suppose to be fair, you could say he more than most knew what was going on with some of these planning applications

  10. Disgraceful how the ditch holds government to account.. Paddy Cosgrove…. Something something.. right wing.

  11. I heard if you pay him enough he’ll actually eat the planning application form in front of you.

  12. Pretty sinister and chilling stuff coming out about “The Party of Law and Order”.

  13. Incredible how the same 3 accounts find their way to every Ditch post to say the exact same things as each other.

  14. They don’t answer the key question: is he still a member of the party? That changes everything.
