    It’s obviously Monaghan. Cavan people wouldn’t spend money on a lotto ticket.

    Why are comments closed on the Denis O’Brien case? A ruling has been made. Surely we’re allowed comment on our own laws? This outdated law needs to be repealed so the case can go ahead. It’s in the best interest of the public and transparency in government.

    There is absolutely 0% of that law being repealed as long as endo and FG, or FF for that matter are around.

    Couldn’t allow someone to sue the true ruler of Ireland. It’s common knowledge he is guilty but let’s not let that fact get in the way.

    Didn’t Michael o Leary have a few run ins with Dinny. Why doesn’t he just donate the €10m to the guy for the good of the country. If he’s not taking any profit from the settlement when he wins and he surely will then he won’t be breaking that absurd ancient law.

    Enda had no problem emerging today to rush through emergency legislation for yesterday’s high court ruling if necessary – any word from him on dob and his former colleague today to amend that legislation??

    @richard that was the best joke I’ve heard all day! Why would the puppet do something to imperil the true dictator of Ireland?
