Haughey damned by Tribunal!
I love being right.
Here's a sentence that is a joy to behold...
"The first report of the Moriarty Tribunal has said payments received by the former Taoiseach, Charles Haughey, during his political career devalued the quality of a modern democracy."
So much for the "lovable rogue", "oul chancer" (insert usual bullshit term for the guy)
This criminal has been exposed at long last and I couldn't be happier. Here's four more beauties:
"The tribunal found that Mr Haughey personally misappropriated one particular donation of £20,000 for Mr Lenihan's benefit and took a series of steps to conceal his actions.
"In relation to the Lenihan donations the tribunal established that up to £265,000 may have been collected for that purpose and of those funds no more than £70,000 was applied in meeting the costs and expenses of Mr Lenihan's medical treatment in the US.
"The tribunal says it is satisfied that a sizeable portion of the excess funds collected was misappropriated by Mr Haughey for his own personal use.
"The tribunal report found that throughout the period 1979-1996 Mr Haughey lived a life and incurred expenses vastly beyond a scale of public service entitlements."
Total crook!
The sad thing here is the guy managed to avoid a jail sentence for his actions. This man was the worst Taoiseach in the history of the State and was an utter disgrace to this country. I've said it time and time again.
I must say this report by the Moriarty Tribunal has really capped off a great year for Irish justice in general! Better late than never eh?
One more thing - can you believe people actually wanted this chap to make United Irelander's 100 Greatest Irish People List?! Perish the thought.
A shower of gangsters!
