Watergate Copycat

Read more about: Galway West, Progressive Democrats     Print This Post

From the Indo Breaking News:

Gardai in Galway are investigating a break-in at the constituency office of Progressive Democrats TD Noel Grealish.

The premises, which is attached to Mr Grealish’s business in Briarhill Business Park, was ransacked during the incident overnight.

The PD politician, who discovered the break-in when he arrived at the office this morning, says he believes it was politically motivated and is worried that sensitive files may have been stolen.

Mr Grealish said laptop computers were taken during the robbery, but other expensive equipment like digital cameras was left behind.

If this really is politically motivated then this really is shocking. Who would do it? This might not be the last time we hear of this.

    what kind of a saddo are you ?
    what do you mean “shocking”
    its very hard to be shocked at anything
    never heard of the guy but what could be in his files
    get a copy will you and post it here as fast as you can
    tear it up quick in case the tribunal needs you
    we’ll run a campaign to release you -if its not too cold
    think about all the books you can catch up on……
    that brian boru guy has the weirdest ideas ?

    maybe ’twas the same chap who forged the Deutsche Bank letter to frame the Taoiseach, an outrageous act that should be investigated, possibly with good chance of success, as I pointed out in my blog yesterday at http://blogs.quiknets.com

    Hopefully no. I for one can’t wait to see what other claims this nutter comes out with.

    maybe we should look at the two parties most against the PDs, maybe Fine Gael, but most likely Sinn Fein, their the only ones that would stoop so low
