Guest, it's a matter of legal empowerment, not a lack of courage. What we need are fairer laws, and a less self-interested government. Hard to get one without the other. He has his Fianna Fáil pals to keep him safe.


The Post:

It doesn't matter what the electorate thinks or wants. Fianna Fáil backbenchers will not utter a cheep of opposition to the current party leadership, at least until a general election is looming. Then, they will do whatever they think is in their own self-interest. The national interest does not figure at all in their calculations.

The Independent:

One thing's for sure - there'll be no 'perp walk' of alleged financial wrongdoers at Leinster House. Not while the State's watchdog committees remain so comprehensively toothless and hamstrung as they are today.

Irish Times:

Criticising individuals and institutions whose greed, unethical behaviour and incompetence brought us to this point is not enough. Unless TDs and Senators are willing to lead by example and accept substantial cuts in their lavish expenses and allowances, public confidence in our democracy may be damaged... Fianna Fail's fall from grace has been more spectacular than any other government in this corner of the world, save for Iceland.

The Herald:

The Herald can today reveal the true extent of privileged working environment inside the hallowed halls of Leinster House and the waste of taxpayers' money that goes with it...
