Fine Gael TD Maria Bailey
RTÉ reports:
Fine Gael members in Dún Laoghaire will meet this evening to vote on a motion which demands a review of the party’s constituency candidates for the next general election.
While sitting Fine Gael TD Maria Bailey is not named, the motion is widely viewed as a move against her, following her controversial decision to sue a Dublin hotel after falling off a swing at the property.

either way, seems unlikely MB would be voted in again
I hope she wouldn’t be voted in again.
But if you look at a number of TDs that have dodgy pasts (I’m look at you Michael Lowry) that keep getting in despite their history – you have to wonder at the psyche of the Irish voter.
will you be voting for ron too?
If he were running, I’d vote for him in a flash!
I don’t know if it’s psyche, rather than forgetting or just not knowing. FF destroyed the country for generations to come, and they only spent ONE term out of office. I saw a woman on the news ages ago say that Bertie Ahern can run for president, because “he did some bad things, but he admitted it, and apologised” .. neither of which he did at all. I bet that same women was cursing the ground he walked on back in 2008.
They’re doing this to save their own skin. If FG truly believed what she done was wrong Maria Bailey would have been shown the door long ago. Coveney’s belief that she has suffered enough through public ridicule is pathetic. The reason for the ridicule is her own actions
an avaricious crook. should have resigned or been sacked.
Wouldn’t be surprised if this is another optical illusion like the last motion of no confidence, where a handful of them apparently met in a pub and tried to force a motion of no confidence. Did she orchestrate that botched attempt to put the question of confidence in her to bed once and for all.
Her father was Chief Political Filth when he was around, so she didn’t lick this off the floor herself. She walks in her father’s footsteps.
As for chief clown Varadkar, well filth follows filth so no surprise this troglodyte thinks MB is fit for public office as part of Fine Gael
And the daw jawed Irish electorate will be subservient as usual and do what Leo tells them. Broken process can be fixed but ya can’t fix a stupid electorate.
Gavan Reilly has an interesting short thread on ministerial support or lack of, for MB here… https://twitter.com/gavreilly/status/1189865788649463808
What about Alan Farrell?
The rotund Senator James Reilly of Faux Gentry will take his seat back.
He’s been in election mode here in the north of the county recently.
Oh the joy I feel is indescribable.
No Clare Daly to vote for, so an interesting election ahead in Fingal.
Zero sympathy for her.
Reap what you sow.
Any criminal proceedings brought against her yet?
She might run in the Scapegoatstown area of DLR?
…now that the party seems to be Dundrumming up support for her?
She could still-organise campaigns though
She could run if someone else stepsasides.
Look leave her alone at this stage, bloody holier than thou comments from everyone here.
Thought I was reading The Journal comments section for a minute
Oh, look. I found Maria.
Excuse me BailBo
An elected member of our Dáil
Swore a false statement
For Financial Gain
Her own Financial Gain
That would have her barred from acting as a Director
Or from holding a senior position in a regulated financial institution
It would appear that Fine Gael have a different definition to Fitness and Probity Standards
In fact
If she is not effed off that ticket tonight
I am entitled to state
Without Fear
That they have no Fitness and Probity Standards within their Party
Not One Vote
Four By-elections
And not one win
Not even a sweat of a recount
Did you mean to call him Bailiboro?
Too much Quinn N Tonic.
Eh?
I dunno
I was just taking Mills’ lead
But shur’
If you’re buying sure
A Cork Dry Quinn and Tanora so
