This page is about an active politician who is running for office or has recently run for office, is in office and campaigning for re-election, or is involved in some current political conflict or controversy.

copyright violation?[edit]

Hesitantly I raise the question whether the new section "2010 Child referendum", consisting of word-for-word extracts from a newspaper is a copyright violation. 83.70.108.132 (talk) 11:56, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it is a copyvio. I have removed it. Snappy (talk) 12:06, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Murphy Report[edit]

Is this relevant because he was Minister of State for Children in 2009? Is he a Roman Catholic? What has he done that has made a difference? The text comes across as a waffly PR statement.86.42.192.56 (talk) 08:41, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Removing material[edit]

I'm removing some of the material from the section "Non-political career". Specifically I'm removing the uncited quote 'an independent report noted that Andrews had failed in his role as CEO to "act decisively to prevent the fraud once discovered'. None of the sources cited actually state this, and all of them in fact agree that he played no role in the scandal that led to his resignation. Until someone provides a link to the Report in question it shouldn't be included. 5.179.46.137 (talk) 15:55, 24 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

He's a fraud and a fianna failure. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.228.255.125 (talk) 19:59, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
