Email To Senator Ivor Callely
Posted by Dermot Carmody in Uncategorized on June 2nd, 2010
This is the text of an email I just sent Senator Ivor Callely (ivor.callely@oirachtas.ie. I think it’s a reasonable request and I invite other Irish people to send a
similar message to Sen. Callely. Of course our other employee Brian Cowen ought to take the decision out of the gentleman in question’s hands. But the form there isn’t great.
Senator,
In the light of your apparent exposure as a dishonest drain on the state’s scarce resources I call on you as a citizen of Ireland to resign your seat, apologise to the struggling people of this country and assist the relevant authorities with any enquiry into your appropriation of sufficient money to keep a couple of ordinary families going for a year on top of your generous salary.
Thanks in advance
Dermot Carmody

Wouldn’t it be great to get back to the good old days when the banks seemed to have everybody’s money and then some extra magic money on top of that. It was business as usual in those days.
This is an episode of the radio show based on the 2irish web siteI did along with Morgan C Jones at the turn of the century. The programmes were recorded in 2000 and aired on what was then Lite FM radio in Dublin. This one deals with the issue of over-charging of customers by the banks, specifically by AIB, or “Absolutely Invulnerable Bank”. Nowadays overcharging a few million is in the ha’penny place since the banks are charging everybody €3.5 billion a go for nothing specific. But it was a big deal at the time and I still like the bit where the bank’s spokesbastard releases the vicious pigs…

The Onion: Sony Releases New Stupid....
There are no better fake news places than The Onion and no better fake news piece than this. Understated hyperbole and spookily accurate satire. Enjoy. (Obviously, contains bold words).
