The revelations of the 'antics' of our former Taoiseach.....Why are people so base/ Why the sell your soul for sex not matter what cost.
'Knowledge is no load'........Today Knowledge flounders in vanity by revelations of a woman who forms the centre stage in Irish politics.
Money is the core ingredient of motive......entertainment, dress, holidays, no divorce because after all that would involve the judiciary deciding how to allocated funds......a deletion of power!!!!
Remember: The bus pass was a great populist move but as we moved into the pre-ordained capitalist route, privatisation will no doubt end this.
Yes, the 1970's, a woman could marry into a farm and the husband could leave it to the son.....and her fate could be the county home
But does anyone ask about Divorce, the fact that there is no clean break, the fact it is 50/50, the fact that when a person dies, their spouse is notified and within 6 months can make a claim on their estate.....
What about the 2nd bite of the Cherry.....The truth is there is one rule for the rich ......... and a completely different one for the ordinary person.
The trend in Ireland is to leave the house with wife, contributing to men living in one bed flats and in some cases homeless.
The English divide.........What is Fair? In the light of the death of Charles J. Haughey (I in the past worked for the Gallaghers), I am confused.
Having studied UK law for several years, and constitutional law, I hold great respect for the Rule of Law; the Separation of Powers, Checks and Balances, Magna Carta, the dignity of the human being.
I recall the Profumo affair and Christine Keeler, prostitute, and lover to a Russian and Profumo. This caused a national scandal. There was a breach of national security. He had to resign.
However, in Ireland, with our written Constitution, one said Charles J. Haughey, flagrantly breached National Security!! As the press reveals the antics......it is no wonder our Gardai, developers etc. are awash with corruption. What a Role Model? It is possibly not too far to say that the Church were also involved via Fr. Alec Reid, to provide him with the necessary absolution i.e. until the next time.
His genius, yes saw the vision of the Financial Services Centre but then Olympia and York had taken this route in Canada and Seaport Plaza was up and running in the US.....but many of us were forced to emigrate....
I want to know why the big question is not asked. Terry Keane is the wife no less of Mr. Justice Keane, Supreme Court and higher. This is the judiciary, the independent leg........supposedly separate to ensure the Separation of Powers. He did not divorce his errant and over talkative wife! Why? Surely this leaves him open for a Conflict of Interest.
Then it was widely known that Terry Keane is a journalist......and she was privy to secret state information........Where were the bureaucrats........watching on.......joking in corridors.......
Charles Haughey likewise did not divorce his wife. It is not unreasonable to state 'Alimony' He was part of Government and he was apparently dicussing matters of state with Terry Keane (27 years!). What happened to conventions amongst Ministers and Senators and everybody.
I am unaware if we have an Official Secrets Act but what is happening now makes a mockery of democracy, the Rule of Law, Magna Carta. Would this be tolerated in the US? They learnt from the Kennedy promiscuity but this was never so 'cap and gown' with breaches of the Constitution.
Mr. Profumo died recently, a humbled man, who from the 1960's changed his attitude and learnt a lesson in life. He contributed relentlessly to people in a poor area of London.........What an outstanding example?
