Next Steps (in crutches)
the next step for TDs that were convicted of drink driving should have been to resign. TD’s until mid June 2007, if you were the pedestrian hit by one of these guys your next steps were in crutches.
when GV Wright announced his resignation this is what Bertie had to say
The Taoiseach, Bertie Ahern, has paid tribute to Deputy Wright.
In a statement, Mr Ahern said he was ‘a hard-working, competent and popular public representative, whose enthusiasm, experience and good humour would be missed by the Fianna Fáil parliamentary party.’
I have covered these stories as they happened as the cases went to court as the bans ran out as the TDs said they would go, and now they are about to go. Them staying on will be my lasting reminder of their time in public office.

Brilliant video. The real danger of Bertie-gate is that nothing is resigning offence for FF anymore. Ivor Callelley must be sick he couldnt have hung in a month more as Bertie would never be able to fire him now. It was right for Ivor to go. But now in BertieWorld a free paint job seems hunky dorey compared to acting as a f*cking bureau de change for your landlord in exchange for a house.

Jim McDaid is running again for Donegal North East, If the electorate re-elect this man then they endorse this kind of behavior. Shame on the local Fianna Fail party for letting him run.
