At 12.15pm  Ciaran Cuffe posted on his blog with reflections on the last two weeks in Irish politics.  An hour or so later the word on Trevor Sargent’s error of judgement emerged.

By 5.00pm Trevor had resigned.

Having listened to his interview on Six One News I don’t understand why Trevor didn’t send the constituent to a solicitor?

We’re not going to get any time off this to talk about the economy, NAMA taking charge of those many many ghost estates, hotels and office blocks, Incinerators, you know the important stuff?
