Karma for Frances

[TonyB]

She'll get her pension.
She'll get her payoff job for stepping down.

She should have been sacked without pension

Good auld Ireland Tony

The worst thing is Alan Shatter did nothing wrong and if he had been minister then we probably wouldn't have this bullshit law.

[Barney Rubble]

I was thinking the same. The similarities between the two situations are uncanny.

* Arguably she did nothing wrong -> Genuine clients visiting genuine escorts are arguably doing nothing wrong.
* She's being pursued on the issue by a crowd that don't actually care about Maurice Mc Cabe even though they pretend they do -> the legislation was being pushed through by a crowd that actually don't really care about escorts despite professing to do so.
* She was fucked because politically she was seen as not pursuing the correct course of action -> the legislation got through because, politically, no one could be seen to vote against an anti-trafficking measure.
* She was asking that people look at the evidence -> when she had the chance to listen to the views of genuine escorts she ignored it for her own pre-conceived ideas.
* If most people sat down and examined the issue calming and without a pre-conceived position and took all the facts into account then she'd probably still be in her job -> If they'd done the same with the criminalisation of punters legislation then that would never have passed either.

What goes around, comes around and Fitzgerald got hers. Karma, eh?

And yet she'll probably say that this stupid law is the highlight of her career in politics

Well Frances fucked us clients over with her bill but Karma has come home to roost today just a pity it's about 4 years too late for us but still nice to see Miss Arrogance brought down a peg or two

And yet, despite all the uproar over the last week, she still got a nomination last night to run again for FG in the next election which will probably be early next year. I wonder if she will lose her seat?

I thought she was a good Minature for Justice. Drive by shootings were at an all time low where I live during her term.
