Arrogance of the Ceann Comhairle John O'Donoghue defies belief!
Speedie's Blog (Free subscription) | 09/10/2009
(Click on picture for larger version) It is not surprising that John O'Donoghue and his government defenders can use in his defense that he abided by parliamentary rules thereby breaking no laws in the huge expenses that he accumulated over the last few years that was paid for by the ordinary tax-payers of Ireland. But hasn't the ruling establishment since time immemorial written the laws to protect...

One interesting news item is that the Irish Green Party is due to have its conference this weekend, and one possible outcome is that they decide to leave the coalition with Fianna Fail and the Progressive Democrats. At the moment the Dail Eireann is a hung Parliament- with the Fianna Fail Teachta Dala for Sligo-North Leitrim, Jimmy Devins and Eamon Scanlon, resigning the Fianna Fail whip a few weeks...

Gilmore comes out from the shadows over O’Donoghue…
Slugger O'Toole (Free subscription) | 07/10/2009
The quiet that greeted Labour leader Eamon Gilmore when he made his big play in the Dail yesterday and set the agenda for the John O’Donoghue’s rather hurried and undignified departure from Office of Ceann Comhairle. In one deft move (having given Fianna Fail leader Brian Cowen enough rope to hang himself with) this intervention lead to the issuing of JOD’s announcement of his pending...
