Top five most shocking Irish scandals

All politicians are only out for what they can steal,rob or plunder.!!! I have never known an honest one yet. They are all part of the "ME ONLY" generation. Irish,American or any other Country in this world.

This is either comical or pathetic. Probably both. The Irish sweep things under the rug? Queen Victoria, in addition to presiding over the deaths of a million of her subjects on her doorstep (never mind millions more in India), was a drug lord. Yes, it's true. Who didn't stop the slave trade in the Mediterranean. Never heard of that either. Did you. The Penal Laws. Never heard of them. They really weren't that bad. Daniel O'Connell was just a self promoting activist, not Ghandi's inspiration. The Pope Pius XII didn't do enough to stop the Holocaust? Benjamin Disreali, Victoria's pet, has been given the most magnanimous get out of jail free card by the Irish for his role in the Famine in the history of history, except possibly the British who have completely absolved themselves of any responsibility for the Famine, Northern Ireland, and Ireland's many Bloody Sundays and the burning of Cork. Give me a break. Then there Ian Paisley who maintains an antediluvian anti-Catholic website who's routinely referred to simply as a fiery politician by the New York Times even as they denounce his colleagues at Bob Jones University. Horse manure is horse manure even when you deliver it with an urbane accent.
