Eamon Gilmore tells John O Donoghue his position is untenable

[DHSEASON4]

How times have changed....

[Burncourtable]

He should have been made pay every penny back and his pension should have been cancelled

[IMFHater]

The cunt O'Donoghue just lost his seat today. Great News.

[truegreenireland]

look at da guilty head on dat prick donoghue.his hand in da till 4 years.why do people of kerry vote dese money grabbin thieves like da healy raes n dis swine in2 power

[crowdsurfers]

what he means is" oh crap we got caught !!! "

[coirpeach1]

Hang them all..They have ruined our country and bleed us dry.No jobs no future,suicide is on the rise..

[thekeythesecret]

And Fianna Fail are supposed to represent the ordinary working class people of this island? Somebody pinch me! What a group of disingenuous money grabbing cheating lying career politicans there ever has been! Did ya know that Fianna Fail used to be a left wing party? Shocked to hear that? I was too! Talk about the apple falling far from the tree! I ashamed to think I share this great island with this ilk. Disgusting! James Connolly would turn in his grave to see these shananigans!

[coirpeach1]

@thekeythesecret Its time to rise up now and fight these fuckers,they have ruined our lovely country,we have no future unless we overthrow these greedy pigs..Something must be done.Im sick of listing to everyone complaining and doing nothing..They have made us the fools of Europe.Its time to ignite the fire in hearths

[Nyquistic]

Not the most rivetting thing I've watched but you begin to realise how the process works; this is the equivalent of a doctor's pronouncement of death.  This is the exact time of death of a fundamentally corrupt politician who assumed himself untouchable. Eamon Gilmore had the balls to call a spade a spade.

ASYLUM SEEKERS IN IRELAND CAUGHT 'ASYLUM SHOPPING'

243 Asylum seekers were transferred to other EU states after being caught 'asylum shopping' where they looked for refugee status in 2 or more countries.

40 failed asylum seekers were deported last night, a further 202 opted for help in returning home voluntarily rather than being removed.

source: Irish Independent 12/3/10

and there's no such thing as bogus asylum seekers, you are racist for saying so...

[GenerationYesSir]

glimore is an idiot.

e doesnt want the public service to take a pay cut while social welfare and chid benefit get hit

[MrHellohel]

@GenerationYesSir eamon gilmore is my uncle

[jackbootodonoghue]

For O'Donoghues part in removing post nuptial citizenship, in 2002.

He should have been shown the door, with a kick on the arse out

[IRL321]

About time someone acted. It shows that E.Gilmore can do the job unlike Cowen, always defending and bluffing these wasters like Cullen. O'Donoghue had some brass neck and is a tight arse.

[Logicopositivi]

@IRL321 It was Caomhin O'Caoileain who first called for O'Donoghue to go. All Gilmore suggested was that the leaders of the five main parties discuss. Sinn Fein did all the work in getting his head and Labour wrongly claimed the head.

[SeanOBriain]

Well done Gilmore, you showed that thief for what he is, and showed backbone as that spineless coward, Enda Kenny proved he is not fit for the position of Taoiseach.

[MrBigwopper]

fuckin piss head arse holes the lot of them

[GBfuryattacks]

what about having a president with executive power, like in usa. nobody elected cowen, he's just head of the biggest party. that's not real democracy. an executive president could be in charge of the budget and because he/she is directly elected he/she is less likely to be corrupt. also it gives a great chance for an independant to run the country, someone who has no hidden political agenda. or political allies to keep sweet etc. could be a much cleaner system

[sideshobobby]

Fair play to Gilmore, a disorganised lot but all the same they have a very good leader. The sheer arrogance of FF on this matter is astounding. These politicians are public servants paid for by you and me...and are not meant to be claiming a £1 donation to UNICEF as expenses! should have been removed weeks ago

[mickser101]

Well eoghanc, they are overpaid a TD gets €106 grand a year before expenses, ridiculous. Ministers get 1/4 of a million before expenses, outrageous. Being as Fine Gael are a bigger joke than Fianna Fail and would make things worse and Kenny is useless I would get Michael O'Leary, Vincent Browne, David McWilliams, Matt Cooper and Eddie Hobbs To have a huge input into the GOV. as they have more common sense and brains than anybody in power

[GBfuryattacks]

good combination muckster101, don't forget senator shane ross, he's brill i tink. what worry's me is kennys silence in all this. seems to me that he has something to hide

[Slyfox38]

So media personalities and Michael O'Leary (goodbye Unions then!)?

[dylwadd]

yeah but not oleary he's a cunt

[eon58]

fucking robbing kerryman bollox should be hanged....burn all the robbing bastards burn burn burn burn

[eoghanc]

Mickser101, you say all Irish politicians are overpaid etc. yet we stupidly re-elected them? If they are ALL as you say they are, who do you propose we elect instead?

[flexbrowne]

Kenny hadn't the balls as usaul and Cowen is still defending him...unreal

[ContaeMhaighEo]

"Thank you deputy Gilmore"

I bet he wanted to say something else!

[soundmangar]

good on gilmore, he delivered a scud missile up o'donoghue's ass. He was dead right stating that he was accountable to dail eireann, biffo well knew this. He exposed an arrogant wanker for what he is, expect a big swing towards labour in the polls. bet kenny is kicking himself he didnt do it first

[mickser101]

This pig has had snout in the troff for years but he is only the tip of the ice-berg, all Irish Politicians are outrageously overpaid, incompetent, inept charlatans and have spent money like drunk sailors over the last 12 years yet we stupidly re-elected them 2 years ago, what a shame

[IrelandsTube]

A complete SCUMBAG in our times of hardship - get rid of him quickly and make sure he never ever sits in public office again.

[henzoni]

I'm not a member of any party..but you have to give it to Gilmore..he wiped kennys eye on this...in fact i would go as far to say that kennys bolloxed and this is the day he lost the top job,if FG want to be in government they need to offload this plank...i would give gilmore a shot of the title at running the country..at least he said and did SOMETHING instead of passing the buck and dodging the issue..as for O'Donoghue..fuck him ..he got caught with his fingers in the till....greedy bastard...

[sirhcelah]

LABOUR FF FG MUST GO SCUMBAGS

[086mac900]

he has to go,he a fraud like all in ff,but how much golden handshake will he get?be gud to see

[Fubs]

when it cuts to john as eamonn tells him his position is no longer tenable you can actually see his smile fall, its soooo slight but its there. He resigned thank god

[dazpatreg]

Cowen and Coughlan= Beauty and Brains. JOH looks like a soft gasúr who got caught with his hand in the biscuit tin. And it's rediculous that it took this long for the opposition parties to call for this motion (me thinks that many of them were overindulging themselves at one point or another). I wouldn't let any of those feckin' eejits run a sweet shop, let alone a country, you could be sure that they'd have all the merchandise eaten in a week. Fuckáil leo.

[seanh00700]

They should all be kicked out of the country not office !!

[77eoin]

About time this was acted on.

O'Donoghue looks like a sick dog
