Farmer/Politician, breaks law, wont pay fine, gets jail and looks for sympathy.

[Binomial]

I have no sympathy for this failed politician who refused to take down dangerous industrial-sized flashing electronic signage on the public roadway after having been written to by Limerick Co Co.

Former farming chief jailed over refusal to pay €200 fine

"Anyone that paid the fine on my behalf would actually be an enemy of mine. I would not appreciate it or thank them one bit," he said.

What an ungrateful fellow,hope next time he is sent up to Mountjoy,see if slopping out with 6 to a cell softens his cough a bit.

Of course The Old Lady 'forgot' to mention that several other politicians including Mairead McGuiness, Avril Doyle, Michael Lowry and Tom Hayes have used the exact same signs in campaigns and haven't been prosecuted or fined for them. Why was Dillon singled out?

He made a stance and people didn't respect his wishes.

How does the memory of an elderly female relate to the issue?

Why was Dillon singled out?[broken link removed]

Because unlike the other politicians he didnt take the signs away when asked in writing by Limerick Co Co.

Work that one out yourself

Avril Doyle didn't take her signs down when people objected to them. The council did nothing. Then again she and her party presumably have more influence on Wexford county council than Dillon has in Limerick.

From Wikipedia Old lady may refer to:

• A woman at an old age.
• mother (slang)
• girlfriend, wife (American slang)
• the Bank of England
• Juventus F.C.
• The Old Lady or Mormo maura is a moth of the family Noctuoidea
• The Old Lady, a 1932 Italian film
• Europe

Was his fine paid by one of the above?
