  1. Spent it on male escorts in South America very specific . Like a real politician I hope he kept the receipts. 

  2. >During a sentencing hearing, Trim Circuit Court heard that the 44-year-old used the money to pay male escorts from South America and to procure drugs, including liquid ecstasy, crystal meth and cocaine.

    ????? haha

    At least he didn’t waste it.

    How is it that he gets 2 years 9 months for stealing €172,000 from a charity but that other guy doing the danny de vito “So anyway, I started blasting” with an unlicensed shotgun and shooting a guy in the head gets a suspended sentence?

    I think our Justice system needs a complete overhaul.

  6. hold up hold up hold up……………you mean to tell me………..we are actually jailing someone for a crime ?

  7. Is there any mention of him having to pay the charity back?
    They need it.

    Fuk him, and if he has to sell his family home, so be it.
    This would apply to us regular peasants.

  8. Very little financial oversight on housing authority bodies. There will be more people like this man caught

  9. Why does Fine Gael always be shortened to FG in headlines when it’s a negative story?

    We rarely see Sinn Fein referred to as SF?

    Sounds like he was having a right jolly time.

    And on the back of a mental health charitable endeavor, of all things.

    Come on, what a scumbag.
