After this week’s performance? Not on yer nelly… (Today’s Irish Times put the Tara St. stiletto in it for her!) but this is Fianna Fail and anything is possible.
Dara Calleary T.D. I think your star is shining brightly. It’s not that long since Ms. Flynn was demurely trying to say nothing when asked if she was interested
I did have a very fleeting thought if Ms Flynn was a Mr. (and I don’t mean her dad) did I think she’d be getting so much grief this week? But then I listened to her interview with Sean O’Rourke yesterday and thought the better of it – it’s a big shovel Beverley has in her pocket! Handed down from Dad probably, it’s some special trait that keeps on digging when all around you are standing by.
See The Unemployed (you need a better nickname TU!!) for his views on Beverley.

Well, she has relinquished her independent’s allowance- or perhaps it would be fairer to say it was wrestled from her talons by the weight of public opprobrium. I’m convinced that political dynasties are the undoing of Irish democracy- because lack of a moral compass is a genetic defect amongst them.
Minister for tax avoidance? Minister for libel? Oh, doooo tell what little bonio she’s going to be chucked for falling into line over the income tax kerfuffle!
Personally, I only need to hear the name for the gorge to rise. Mayo is a foreign country: they do things differently there, or some such literary cliché (of which, like Bev’s excuses, I have an unlimited supply).
How’s the other pay-off (to Mr James Howard, “retired farmer”, wasn’t it?) coming along? Or did that get settled out of the licence fee, as well?
I know, I know, I try to stay with the plot, but …
That said, did you miss the letter in Monday’s Irish Times from the loonie (one Aengus Lawlor, of Norriton, PA) who reckoned we needed “A Dáil consisting of 500 or 600 members” because “we currently have 35 ministers and junior ministers, out of a coalition of just 84 current members”?
It’s called a caucus race, Mr Lawlor, as explained by the Dodo in “Alice”, chapter 3: “EVERYBODY has won, and all must have prizes.”
The Poor Bloody Infantry, paying taxes (unlike those advised by that nice Ms Flynn at the National Irish Bank), provide the prizes.
