Dublinjas, how can you say this woman is the best president and at the same time talk about immigration "shysters"? McAleese is a big fan of Ireland's immigration industry. But you're right about the disgraceful waste of public money on these "shysters". I read on one of the Irish newspapers that last week a guy from China demanded asylum because he was a "Christian". So he was asked, "How did Jesus die?" ChinaChristian didn't know. Yet, instead of kicking his Chinese ass all the way back to Beijing, he was allowed stay in Ireland (tax-payers paying for him) until his case is "resolved". Of course he'll lose his request for asylum, whenever it's heard in one year, two, three. But then he'll appeal (McAleese et al cheering him on). And he'll lose that too (90% do). But then? No, he won't be deported. because only one person in six who is served with a deportation order from Ireland ever leaves the country. I really have lost sympathy for the Irish at this stage--they're ruled by idiots. And who elected the idiots?

I'd have liked to see them get NAMA past Mary Robinson...
The Supreme court was the only institution in Ireland who spoke honestly telling the banks to shove their phony figures and balance sheets where the sun didn't shine..
Unfortunately it was never given a chance to save our little country.

Considering this is woman who signed both the Bank Guarantee and NAMA into law without referring them to the Supreme Court to see if they met their constitutional requirements to protect and be in the interest of Irish families and population in general. A little to little too late.
The rats are scurrying to deny responsibility for the destruction of the Irish state...

How many Billions have been spent on Shysters who are not even remotely connected to Ireland incessantly challenging our legal system when ordered deported or refused Asylum and the Organizations who represent the Shysters. And the Shysters Lawyers who are coining it on their behalf....Right...... Of Course the President is Right, She will probably go down as the best President Ireland has had to date although God help us there is not much to choose from.

She is right, she is saying what the global media cartels and their stables of journalists should be saying.

A friend of mine in ireland calls this woman The Queen of Blather. Lots of Irish people despise her. She is unelected, overpaid and underworked.
