    Delaney’s on his umpteenth refill of prosecco and is about to belt out “Come Out Ye Black and Tans”. Everyone else in the group will look over at him disdainfully – Barry Egan will whisper in his ear, “No John, this isn’t that sort of party.”

      I have a feeling he may be u contactable for the next few days. Hope there’s no cyber bullying in the meantime

    A Fine Gael TD fingers the rest of us.

    Mary Mitchell O’Connor should be ashamed of herself.

      She has no shame. And yet, with Ceann Comhairle Seán Barrett in her constituency and therefore getting the free seat at the next election, she’ll be easily re-elected. Hard to understand why she (or anyone) would agree to appear in that photo. I wonder did they know what it was to be used for.

        No seriously the term…Gombeen is overused. Idiot would be more appropriate.

        A village [Blackrock] is missing an idiot.

        By the way stop insulting muppets in substitution for the word ‘idiot,’ Muppets are at least…. entertaining.

    Disgusting, vulgar and the epitome of what was, and still is wrong with Irish society.
    The homeless are dying on the streets and families are loosing their homes.
    This is sick.

        1. cluster

          The Sindo is indeed a vulgar and irresponsible publication.

          Having a party & implicitly suggesting that those who can should go out and spend is one of the least bad things they have done in many years.

          If everybody stays at home, counting their pennies, there will be no revenues to spend on anything worthy & that includes the homeless.

          Anyway statistically, almost no families are losing their homes. Instead, the young are bring squeezed to subsidise the greed of middle-class homeowners.

            If everyone stayed home etc. is fair enough, but this is absolutely tasteless. its not that they had a party, whatever like, its that they went and published it.

    2. louislefronde

      I’ll bet a hundred years from now, there will be still homeless people dying and people losing their homes.

      Let’s just hope there is a corner of the National Library which keeps a micro film of the Sindo – so that future historians can look back, sigh and ruefully say – those people were wankers!

    Remember this when eventually people start to look back glassy eyed on the life of the sindo. It will be a wonderful day for journalism when it is forced to close its doors, even advertisers can see it’s junk.

      You’ve not looked properly (and who can blame you in fairness). They’ve pushed the hawtest gurlz to the front.

      Coz – you know – its all about good taste.

      2. ahyeah

        Looks.like that is what theyve done, whixh makes it even funnier how pi$$ed off Lisa whatsherface looks – being told to get back into the second row.

  21. Truth in the News

    It should be more a wake, what is total amount bank debt
    written off for INM by their bankers, who picks up the bill
    indeed look at total amount of debt write off for the most
    significant shareholder,…Dennis O’Brien in respect of the
    rest of his ventures, and then the legacy issue of a previous
    controlling shareholder (Sir) Anthony O’Reilly and the taxpayer
    picking up the Pensions Bill at Waterford Glass.
    No doubt the investigative resouces of Independent group
    will look into the debacle.

    1. mthead

      Solicitor dude, soccer dude, Brendan Egan, I saw him at a Bruise Springstain concert twice (two times at the same gig) and I think Chris Rea’s daughter Rosanna Harley Davidson.

  24. Parochial Central

    Let me get this right – that is Mary Mitchell-O’Connor, an elected TD for Fine Gael in DLR, knobnobbing and boozing with these DINDO a-holes? She should be reported to the Dail Committee on proceedures. Dumb ass teacher on a pension of course.

  29. TheDude

    Phew, it’s over! Maybe it was all a bad dream. Celtic tiger just got out of the shower. Z listers are back baby. Time to fleetingly party like its 2007

  31. Fergalito

    Have a party by all means but don’t plaster it all over the fuppin paper and make it a feature.

    I’m making the same sound Sideshow Bob made just after he stepped on a garden rake.

    2. Soundings

      The gullible aspiring middle classes, so they might feel a little more confident and go out and buy a €300k Dublin gaff.

  38. Rois

    Honestly though, anyone actually know who all 19 are? I managed 9 but that includes 3 ‘that’s your one off of…’

  42. Spaghetti Hoop

    Can we get a numbered identifier pic? I recognise the politician that drove up on the ramp ….and that looks like John Delaney in there too. Sure they’re always prancing about.

  45. mingdo

    Rumour has it that Egan gave all those Indo “journalists ” who degraded themselves in 2014 a little ginger surprise. Taking bets as of now, as to what secret delights filled Ms. Horan’s Santa stocking.

  46. bagpuss55

    its the worst paper not just in this crappy country but probably the world. increasingly out of touch, demented and beyond parody

    1. inboots

      It does do a service though to certain sections of Irish ahem “society”, by championing the plain in face and deluded in mind.

  48. Iseult

    Cheap, nasty, tacky and low rent
    A concentrated representation of a certain kind of oil slick of societal pollution
