      Well being both FG (irrespective of what they say, he is one their own down to his marrow) and having a history of criminality and taking corrupt payments, he would know a thing or two about a clearly dodgy process when he see’s one.

        Although I’d imagine Lowrys rates have gone up and Dinny is a bit strapped at the moment. I wonder if Lowry now takes crypto instead of cash?

  2. Truth in the News

    At what price did Eir procure 28 Thousand Km of Fibre from ACOME CoOp
    in France, the vast proportion is 36 stand G652D, are Eir spending 10 K
    connecting up each premises, who decided that Eir would be paid almost
    billion from the pot to extend the Rural National Broadband network, who
    is waiting in the wings to get the contract for NBP , indeed where ever did they
    lay a meter of fibre.
