Last night.
The Gallery of Photography, Temple Bar, Dublin
Former Fianna Fail government minister Conor Lenihan with his just published biography of Charles Haughey, Haughey: Prince Of Power viewed the Charles Haughey Exhibition “Power Politics and Public Image“, by photographer Eamonn Farrell, before the book’s launch by Fianna Fail, leader Micheal Martin in the National Library.
Spoiler alert: The ‘Prince’ pinches his da’s liver money.
Good times.

So, Haughey was a thief and Brian Lenihan Snr was a liar. Both were living the high life while the citizens of Ireland were either struggling to live or emigrating in droves.
It seems that his ill health is responsible for his lie/forgetfulness, deja vous Rodney, deja vous.
Strictly speaking, Haughey didn’t steal the Lenihan liver money. More cash was raised for the transplant than was needed, Haughey paid the bill and then pocketed the excess.
Still an appalling man though.
Full disclosure: that was the only thing Haughey did that I found entirely unforgivable.
A crime novel written by an imbecile.
hahaha perfect! thats spot on
Oh, shut up and take my money….
It looks huge. Ya wouldn’t bring that to bed.
(The Book).
Packed with Daddy’s stories.
On the coffee table then?
Back of the library perhaps.
“It looks huge”
That’s because the body copy set is set in very very very large type…
‘Venal’ ?
Just say it out loud. The man was as CORRUPT as could be. Plain and simple. A scumbag.
Apparently I can’t have as much fun with my feelings…..
He’s a first class prize [CENSORED] from a dynasty of [CENSORED].
:-J
Venal is a more elegant formulation, I think.
But that’s the problem, ‘elegant’ flowery language for a man who deserves nothing but a tirade of mono-syllabic expletives….
It’s a sad day when you can’t even call Haughey a ladypart on BS.
So what’s going on, is it Halloween again for a second time this year..?
I can’t see the blood stained fangs, though it might be because it’s too bright… natural sunlight etc., anyone?

“One casual claim, made by my father, was to come back to haunt him during his own presidential campaign and cost him the Presidency”
In other words, a lie

Very little has changed since he popped his clogs. So we shall all just vote for the same shower of corrupt incompetents again & again….
yea pretty much .. it had been Fianna Fail for so long, that we thought Enda’s promises of change could be the start of a new era. but once he got into power, he just followed the template left by the crowd before him. the social democrats are the only party who seem to actually want to work FOR the country. the rest are just tryna get cozy gigs on the gravy train.
Its time we revisited the Arms Trial and what led up to it and especially the
actions of Peter Berry and the response of Jack Lynch,….Liam Cosgrave
is still alive, he needs to be formally questioned too, there are quite a few
files still around with both the Gardai and Army Intelligience….did we have
what may be termed a very “Irish Coup”…..why did not any of Lenihans not
put pen to paper years ago…..?
