Poor Mary… (2010-09-06 00:00:00) Here’s an edited version of the reaction of Fianna Fail TD Mary O’Rourke to Callely’s resignation from the party (Newstalk). I’m just glad that part of it is over…I’m not going to be talking again about Ivor Callely…somebody should tell him to just let go of this issue, just let go…it should just end now, [...] Callely: Thrown out of his natural home (2010-09-06 00:00:00) Senator Callely has been found guilty by a disciplinary committee of “conduct unbecoming” following an investigation into his mobile phone expenses. Curious, I would have thought that Callely’s behaviour was perfectly in keeping with the gombeen/cute hoor culture of Fianna Fail. Haughey, De Valera, Burke, Flynn, Ahern, O’Donoghue, Lawlor, Collins, Foley, Lenihan (Snr.), O’Dea, the [...] Callely: Questions and answers (2010-09-06 00:00:00) Shortly after the Seanad Members’ Interests Committee found that Senator Callely had misrepresented his normal place of residence for the purpose of claiming allowances I rang Seanad Eireann with a number of questions.

Yes, it’s complex; yes, it’s time-consuming — but if there is a [...] Why Callely’s stupidity scares the body politic (2010-09-06 00:00:00) Senator Ivor Callely is a non entity; he’s nothing more than an arrogant moron who doesn’t even possess the political intelligence necessary to get him out of his troubles. But let there be no doubt, it is Callely’s political stupidity, his complete failure to understand and play by the rules of the corrupt political system [...] Gardai: Waiting for political instructions on the Callely case (2010-09-06 00:00:00) On the 4th of August last Paul Gogarty TD went to his local Garda station and requested that an investigation be launched into Senator Callely’s expense claims. Over three weeks on and we’re still waiting for the Gardai to begin an investigation. Here’s what’s happening. The Gardai are delaying any investigation in the hope that [...] The unbecoming (2010-09-06 00:00:00) Irish Times Madam, May I welcome Senator Callely to the elite ranks of the unbecoming?

We will be in contact with you in due course. Off to Australia (2010-09-06 00:00:00) I’m off to Australia today to have a look around, including a wander out to that big rock thing in the middle. I’ll be back in about three weeks. Callely: Formal complaint (2010-09-06 00:00:00) To Whom It May Concern, I wish to formally lodge a complaint under the Ethics in Public Office Acts 1995.
