I listened to Joe Duffy on Liveline yesterday. The debate was all about Mick Wallaces sense of style. The only current affairs show on during the day and this is the most important use of that time? Mick Wallaces appearance? You serious? With all that’s going on? Shame on you Joe Duffy and shame on you RTE. Boycott the TV license!!

They should have saved it for a Friday and had ‘humorous’ songs, poems and hi-jinks about it.

Mick Wallace is too busy actually working to be bothered getting suited and booted like the rest of the trussed up numpties in the Dail. There are much more important things to fucus on.
Mick Wallace works tirelessly, protesting against and bringing attention to the fact that since 2002 over 2.5 million US military have passed through Shannon on their way to and from Iraq and Afghanistan. Ireland refueling these war planes has made Ireland complicite and a terror target. We had always been a neutral country.
It was Mick Wallace’s hard graft and perseverance that shed light on the NAMA NI Property Portfolio dirty dealings. He was once again hard at it whilst those of the finest cut cloth and plumage sat on their heaving posteriors filling out and inflating their expenses.

He has been one of the better TDS and pursued causes consistently.
It is an awful pity he really dirtied his bib with his own tax affairs. He admitted that he had knowingly under-declared VAT in his building business, and then reached a €2.1m settlement with the Irish tax authorities, the Revenue Commissioners but admitted that it was unlikely the debt would be paid as his business was in receivership at the time.
He pleaded that he was trying to conserve cashflow and keep his staff in jobs and navigate a difficult financial situation. This would be plausible is he didn’t at the time €290,000 in salaries, which was double the previous year.

@ JD
I can’t say that he hasn’t made mistakes. That does not take away from the his sterling efforts and modern-day warrior workmanship. He’s a hero, IMO.
JD
I think he used the Dail in a very effective way to highlight issues beyond the local. The quality of parliamentary contribution is in general is very poor so it is good to see a few TDs ploughing a a different furrow.
