Gillian Toole, former Fine Gael member and councillor on Meath Council
Fine Gael has confirmed it is investigating allegations that a former member in Meath was referred to as “the n****r in the woodpile” and “the f***ing bitch” at a party meeting on Monday.
The comments are alleged to have been made by a senior party figure about independent councillor Gillian Toole, who quit Fine Gael earlier this year.
The comments are alleged to have been uttered by the person to other members at a party meeting in Kells on Monday that was attended by around 20 people.

Naggers?
Remember when Mary O’Rourke thanked her campaign team for working ‘like blacks’? No sanction or even an apology

Or when Enda Kenny used the ‘N’ word in a joke at a party function. Any other country would have seen his resignation.

She got away with it too. Saying it was a compliment to how hard working black people are and the brass ate it up.
Unparliamentary language may be colourful but nasally overpowering.
She’s not alone
Another exit from the party not flagged nationally

“The comments are alleged to have been made by a senior party figure…at a party meeting in Kells on Monday that was attended by around 20 people.”
What “senior party figure”?
Surely not the TD for Meath, Regina Doherty or ? She looks like butter wouldn’t melt in her mouth.
And Helen McEntee, the other Meath FG TD doesn’t look old enough to know these terms.
Why do the female TD’s appearance matter so much to you?
Almost definitely innate sexism, wha?
A bit weird the first thing you picked (and there is a lot of choice) is their appearance. Ah well, continue on Soldier
Just want to give the high-brow synopsis that I initially read that as “butler wouldn’t melt in her mouth” as I scrolled down
Ooh matron, etc.
TDs are not the only senior figures in a political party.
are you hinting at former
insert a whole string former job titles of a prominent Meath FGer
ReBerto?
Some FG senator also used that phrase a few years ago iirc
What do you expect in a party made up of flint-minded cut-throat careerists, the only ideology is the individual – everyone else is either useful or surplus ballast.

You post has been flagged as “this is Dav’s job”. Please refrain from this type of language. Thanks. Definitely-Not-Bodger.
SF bullying once again. You wouldn’t catch FG at that now would you? Oh – sorry, I misread it. FG bullying – quelle surprise, or as they say in FG – quelled surprise.
