    The state is bound to protect the personal rights of the citizen, and in particular to defend the life, person, good name, and property rights of every citizen.

    Peddling complete lies in the Oireachtas does not vindicate a private citizen’s right to his good name and thankfully the independent Courts are in agreement,

    Good mAn. Name calling wind arguments. You brought up the courts. And as you keep pointing out, freedom of speech I can say what I want. Try to keep up. And stop the petty name calling, it’s beneath me.

    Well, point # 1 – YOU first used the term F uc kin idiots, not me , so you are wrong there.
    Point # 2 I didn`t bring up the “courts” – Onepz did, so you have lied on both counts,
    try to keep up with what you yourself have written and read – you absolute imbecile.

    is that the best you got this morning Wesole? – Lie down, SF and Gerry? LOL
    My god man you are really scraping the barrel for comebacks today.
    Hows about you take your head out of enda`s hole for about five mins, pull up your trouser from DOB rodgering you, or at least look for a reach around from him, then take a step outside of the basement FG hovel you and the rest of your FG poster boys inhabit, and go get a breath of fresh air, you cant live your life in a dank,dark basement office being fed takeaway pizza and fizzy drinks forever, sure that would be enough to drive any one insane.

    Ingratitude, thou marble-hearted fiend…

    £50 m seemed just too much to pay in CGT on a £250m gain from the early-century sale of an asset originally acquired from our sovereign at the right price…nod, nod….wink,wink…
