This is the text of an email I just sent Senator Ivor Callely (ivor.callely@oireachtas.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
