Even today, do we really need Brian Cowan coming out accusing the opposition of jumping on O'Donoghue's grave? You would swear he has been the victim of a great injustice.
Fairly poor attempt at diversion here. You can put Dick Spring's record up against Johnny Cash's record any day, and we know who's going to come out best.Was there not a former Labour leader who stayed at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel when staying in New York as Foreign Minister, instead of staying in the then Irish-owned Fitzpatrick Hotel?
The Labour party are being hypocritical on this one.
What statements did Joan Burton or Eamonn Gilmore issue about the Waldorf Astoria?

Did Dick Spring spend €400 to change terminals at Heathrow? Did Dick Spring get the State to pay for his wife's hat? Did Dick Spring have an unending series of junkets?
And that's before you even mention their relative achievements.
Any specifics behind your suspicions?Its absolutely clear that the Fianna Failers are the prime culprits when it comes to snouts in the trough, and should rightly be booted out of office at the first opportunity. However, it is equally clear the the Fine Gael and Labour have some hidden skeletons when it comes to having their cake, and eating ours. How many FG and Lab TDs could stand over their expenses if they were subject to close scrutiny? Also, over several decades of dodgy land rezonings, I bet a fair few FG heads (and even some sainted Lab folks) took the odd brown envelope.
They don't care how angry people are. All they care about is trousering as much of our money as they can.are they really so thick that they don't understand how angry people are
had it been USA he would and should be jailed

When the elections come around, the thick public will vote them in again anyway. FG/FF/labour etc - they're all cut from the same cloth.
As Brian Lenihan says we all need to get a bit of 'perspective' about the whole expenses saga.
What planet do these politicians operate on? They all hire expensive political advisors and yet still come out with statements like this. No-one is claiming that solving the expenses controversary will fix our economic problems but are they really so thick that they don't understand how angry people are and that they won't just lie down and take massive cuts in living standards and public services while this sort of stuff is going on.
