Well if ever there was an Irish oscar to be awarded…it would have to be Bertie. The award- Tall tales but true from the legendry past (NOT). Good riddence. Hopefully Irish politics will clean up its act and restore the confidennce of the Irish people in the demorcratic process. Bye Bye Bertie!!!

For that money, Mary, count me in too..and I could see my days out on it. I wouldn’t need any backhanders, be having too much fun making Willie O’Dea shovel shit ’til his Little Corporal’s ‘tache wilted and we’d save a fortune on (lack of) Tribunals, I could get over the wig-flight of Barristers and other hangers-on. And when I was settled in my leather chair I’d be on to the gov’t stockbroker selling useless shares in the former national airline to Mick O’Leary in order to fund a slimmed down efficient health executive where fuck-up’s were not the order of the day a la Barrington’s.

Mary… 400k a year? Lets see.. course I would. Living the life or Reily for lets say three years? Thats a cool 1.2 million. You can bet your ass I would do it.
