Paddy the Plasterer

No, the one from Ballyjamesduff (or whatever it's called).


So if Paddy the Plasterer, Eddie the Electrician, Cathal the Carpenter, Paudie the Plumber, Terry the Tiler and Bob the Blocklayer all got together shure couldn't they have built the house alltogether without any need for money changing hands ? Much better idea than a whip round in a pub.

(forgot, would they have needed C2's to do that work )
 

LOL
 
As I recall, "Paddy the Plasterer" was how Bertie referred to him in the Bryan Dobson interview. It was distinguish him from another Paddy Reilly who also contributed to the dig-out.

And it was Bertie who brought up the pohrase "dig out" too in that same interview. so blaming the media for using such phrases is like...eh...shooting the messenger (!)

Pat the COPE Gallagher (note spelling and it's pronounced that way too, which, no doubt, he thinks adds to his image), is named so after his father, who founded (and probably made a fortune) a co-operative in Dungloe.
 
Remember him nearly crying during the interview...should have gotten an Oscar for that.
 

the name is
Patrick Bartholomew "Bertie" Ahern
according to wikipedia

Clinton's real name on birth cert is William Blythe - same as the British naval captain of mutiny on the bounty and Bull Island fame. Interesting that both of these chancers dont use their genuine names ("Bertie" is short for Albert, "Bart" is the shortened version of Bartholomew).
 

And what about Liam the land man, Dessie the developer and Sean the Speculator. How would they have got what they wanted ?

It reminds me of the great Bob Geldofs song from many years ago, " Banana Republic".
 
Paddy helped Bertie out.

RTE have turned him into a legand.

Bertie got a mandate.

The whole dig out thing is just a bore.
 
Bertie got a mandate.
Based on extremely selective disclosure of the facts behind and around his various cash receipts.
