Election time

[Don Corleone]

I thought your man Ahern went for a long walk after the Aer Lingus scandal back in 2004? What ended up happening after all that, anyway? I'm all for privitization, but not like that... very smelly business if I heard it properly at the time.

Such things are a matter for the tribunal , he is not hiding anything and is not refusing to co-operate , but they will not be dealt with until he goes before the tribunal ,which miraculously keeps getting delayed again and again . Its amazing how long an investigation can take when the people being investigated appoint judges who are just about to retire to do the job .
Though now they also want his ex-mistress and his mate Paddy the plasterer to answer some important questions about some strange cash ....errrr....gifts ...loans....favours....hmmmmm......actually bribes is the correct word I think .
Whoda thunk it would all grow out of one complaint about corruption and one fellow getting stopped at customs with a suitcase full of cash .

Oh well I was looking for wednesdays FF manifesto launch where in 15minutes of questions by one journalist Bertie managed to contradict everything he has ever said about suitcases of cash handed over to him .
But hey this is quite funnyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nE5o79AOXAw
Not as funny as the real questions exchanged , but RTE has them on a format I can't access at the moment .
Though two real classics were "Its my money I earned it" relating to monies which were alledgedly corrupt payments to himself that exceeded what he himself had declared as his earnings ....
" its his money , its no ones business what he does with it" relating to money given to him to give to his mistress to refurbish a newly built house that hadn't even been purchased at the time .

Anyway , First of the PD candidates just called at the door while I was writing this 6 words sent him off , and none was a vulgar word (well , house and garden full of kids so I was restrained in my language)
