my advice to everybody in this country is to join fianna fail. then life is great. pay tax, fuck that, drink drive and get away with it, yes please, knock down a listed building and build an office block on it that will probably just collect dust for years to come and be a fucking eyesore, and a whole lot of other crooked shite too. its simple, fianna fail have replaced the british landlord class in this country and are rolling in the money big time and giving you the fucking fingers and laughing at you law abiding idiots ha ha ha. so its simple join the fianna fail party the “soldiers for themselves their famlilies and relatives, and their friends and anyone who has the money to bribe them, of destiny” brigade. good luck, in this patriotic country?

Fuck that cunt Bertie i am delighted for the fucker. The rat bastard starts pissing tears on tv to get our sympathy when he is in trouble because he couldn’t account for the thousands of pounds he was taking left, right and centre. Legacy - fucking subaru legacy is all that cunt will be leaving behind probably as a bribe. Meanwhile 150 poor bastards are signing on a week in my town. The country is fucked!!

Carruth is the just the latest in a long line of people and reputations that Bertie has thrown on the sacrificial heap.

Des Richardson, if Bertie’s version is to be believed, breached client-confidentiality by telling Bertie’s pals the finer points of his legal bills and divorce proceedings.

Padraic O’Connor was more or less accused of donating money belonging to NCB Stockbrokers to Bertie.

My bet is that the costs of the Tribunal will be be relatively insignificant compared to what the CAB and IR will recieve by the time this is finally put to bed. Property developers that made millions from corruption will be forced to repay what is owed plus interest and penalties and its not only monies accrued from these dealing’s but if you use ill gotten gains to make more money then that money is also for the taking. I bet they start looking into Liam Lawlor and others again. Well done to Judge Mahon and Des O Neil for finally putting an end to the antics of these lower than low life scumbags.

I think it was Sam Smyth in today’s Indo that made an interesting observation about the difference in the women in Bertie’s life - Celia getting 30 grand out of that account to buy a house and swanning up to the tribunal with a Hermes handbag that probably cost the equivalent of Grainne Carruth’s yearly wage at the time……..

£64 quid a week though???? I was in college in 1994 and my college maintenance grant was £51 per week - was Bertie expectin her to live on pasta and tomato ketchup?????

66 quid a week in 1994 was a pathetic wage..the kind of wage that makes you say..i dont need to care about my job or my employer..i cleared tables in a restaurant in london in 1986 for 100 quid a week.. never worrried about standing up in court for my employer..

Surely it’s time the Tribunal pointed out to some of the other people who have given evidence , the penalties, of lying while under oath.
