Minister engages in excessive expenditure for private jet citing pressures of schedule and lack of commercial options to attend an event. Resulting public outcry causes minister to resign before he is sacked.
It’s France, last month, when the aid minister Alain Joyandet chartered a jet to go a donors conference for Haiti — conveniently located in Martinique. Now it cost somewhat more than Noel Dempsey’s outing but the principle is the same. The apparent difference: Joyandet’s superiors — the President and Prime Minister — have some sense of when gratuitous waste occurred and they got shown up by it. That ain’t Ireland.
It now appears Dempsey (and probably all ministers ) get advances of cash going to these important meetings–it is reported that Dempsey has collected five thousand euro over a number of meetings.
I am surprised that Mr Dempsey has so rarely been in the news considering especially that he was Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources from 2004 to 2007. Maybe it is time to bring that period up again considering what has happened in the Gulf of Mexico in the meantime.
How dare you, P O’Neill, if that is your name, address your superiors’ perks of office in this way!
Kow-tow! Nine times, if you please!
People like you, Mister O’Neill, give Ireland a bad name!
Don the Green Guernsey!
What would we do without the self-sacrifice of these wonderfully public spirited people, who give up valuable drinking time to further the interests of their clients?
Shame on you! You should go away and commit suicide.
