Your local representative.
On the take.

The programme will reveal the extent and nature of breaches [of ethics legislation] across the political system. As a result of RTÉ’s investigation, a number of politicians at both council and Oireachtas level have already corrected the record. The programme also focuses on particular cases where evidence of direct conflicts of interest has been found.
Given the scale and, in some in some cases, the severity of non-declarations, the investigation narrowed to concentrate on a select number of councillors. An RTÉ undercover investigative reporter contacted these people. The programme will broadcast footage from these meetings and will reveal requests for personal rewards to carry out work as a public representative….
RTÉ Investigates – Standards in Public Office, Monday December 7 at 9.35pm on RTÉ One.
I’m already guessing at the outcome of the show. fg/lab good. Sinn feint baaad
You think Sinn Féin are more corrupt? I’d say they’re all as bad as eachother!
Fair play to RTÉ investigates. There might be a few less Gombeens standing in the GE after this, or more Lowry’s topping the poll…
The second one, probably.
Damning revelations result in change? You live abroad, don’t you?
i am looking forward to this…..
G’wan SIPO !
They do great work for a tiny office. And when they get the new powers (next year?) they’ll do even better work.
Look forward to this.
this isn’t SIPO they spend their time not doing anything
They’ll get a mention… my point is they’ve been asking for greater powers for ages… this’ll help that along.
Should be interesting. Will there be a flurry of corrections, clarifications and retirements?
What a shocker!
The only surprise will be how little they can be bought for.
Oh it’s ON.
No TD’s implicated though?
Well it says Oireachtas level, which is either TDs or Senators. We’ll have to wait till Monday to find out who they are.
Or councillors acting as staff for members or staff taking backhands for access to members
I tell you what I’m astonished and gobsmacked by… that guy wearing a two-tone denim shirt with a jacket and tie.
There’ll be high court injunctions to stop this airing. That’s why RTE are tipping them off in advance so the usual set can cover their tracks and shout defamation!
Endemic corruption in Public office. Carry on regardless.
I can’t even stand I’m so shocked. How could this happen etc..

“the investigation narrowed to concentrate on a select number of councillors.”
Councillors who quit the governing party perhaps?
Those at the top are still safe.
Ladies and gentlemen, the irish political class.
Whose responsible for investigating standards of RTE ?…
