Good ol' Beverly Flynn.
It doesn't matter waht the courts say, especially the highest in the country - she was righ, she was wronged!
It doesn't matter that Fianna Fail kicked her out (twice - it's better than Lanigan's Ball) - Bertie wants her back in agin!
The brass neck effrontery that everyone is so shocked about - is what gets me - it's Ireland focks.
We may have the second most expensive capital in the world, we may be wealthier than ever before, we may want everything now and be euro embracing, technilogcal funky and self confident to the point of arrogance, but we have still to get away from the world of clientelism.
Remember that the definition of politics is ' marked by artful prudence, expedience, and shrewdness' and nowhere else moreso than Ireland.
The fact that she appealed her case twice - cost umpteen million to the public broadcaster and ironically the people she serves just goes to show that how we have always been honest with ourselves as a nation anyway.
She is an elected representative after all.
Well done Ireland.
