Fianna Fáil TD Jim O’Callaghan
BREAKING:
Jim O’Callaghan (FF-Dublin Bay South) turns down offer of the Minister of State for Law Reform.
“The reason I am not accepting is because I believe my energy and abilities will be better used as a backbench FF TD rather than as a junior member of gov’t.”

Shame. Would have been one of the few decent appointments.
I would imagine he has far bigger plans anyway…
Sure he has bigger plans. Our Jimbo prefers to cleanup down at the four goldmines rather than waste his precious time representing the fools who voted for him, just like he did during the last government.
Good decision Jim
Respect.
All is not well in the State of FF.
The BOGOF Taoiseach ain’t a happy camper.
…oh dea…oh dea…
You’ll be shot for that reference B.
…I’ve dodged bullets from the brits and the provos so I’ll take my chances with this one…
2 juniors in Enterprise… (1 of each of the fianners) is that the norm or is MM trying to placate the faithful?
A bit cheeky to offer “junior” to Jim….the Minister of Justice has no legal experience whatsoever. Good decision, Jim!
meehole is afraid of jimbo on the front bench…he seems like a decent skin that will go far hopefully
He’s a politician.. just like all ambitions politicians. Was silent on Repeal. Typical FFer.
And was not josepha madigan not the person who advised Maria bailey to sue for swing gate
Jimiriam will make more money doing his legal barrister stuff…and more free time to do it rather than doing what he was ELECTED to do.
When will the electorate in this country cop the fupp on….STOP voting for liars.
Oliver?
Jim ‘genuinely’ Callaghan so full of entitlement. – elected without reaching quota but still full of himself.
Was so disappointed he didn’t get justice. He wrote an incredible report on reforming the Family Law Courts. He should have been given the role to implement his recommendations. Don’t know McEntee but with a communications background rather than a legal one, I fear she’ll lack the technical knowledge to make meaningful change in a grossly dysfunctional system.
