On this day in 1989, Minister for the Environment Pádraig Flynn unveiled a new sculpture ‘Spirit of The Air’ to be installed at Dublin Airport.
1989 was the same year developer Tom Gilmartin wrote a cheque for £50,000 as a donation to Fianna Fáil as suggested by Pádraig Flynn. The cheque never made it to Fianna Fáil HQ and was subsequently discovered by the Mahon tribunal that it was used to buy a 100-acre farm in north Mayo by Mr Flynn’s wife, Dorothy.
He was then made our European Commissioner.
Good times.
Watch here.

I Wanna Tell You Something, Try It Sometime
Lovely, thanks for ruining my weekend.
Bring them all on a coach to Béal na mBláth.
And ambush them.
In-line with the water protest chants and general day to day profanities:
From the airport to the sea, Fianna Fáil can kiss my g**
It’s no wonder the country is screwed…
People who think that profane language is why this country is screwed is why this country is screwed.
You’re fupping right Nigel, you’re right
-angelic choir sings-
It’s very difficult job ya know, to run *smirks smugly* three homes and three cars, its tough.
A right proper King Cnut if ever there was one
You try it sometime!
That was the particular line that made we want to knock the piss out of him. The look of disgust among the audience said it all
The fact that he ruined his own career, reputation was just perfection. No one to blame but himself. Delighted.
