Are you asking me if he lied or you know that he lied? You are throwing up so many "I think" quotes Im getting confused.
I'll give Doherty credit.....he can destroy most deputies in debates.
I agree with you on the bank official. Anyone who works in finance I'd distrust.
I must admit, in one day you have called SF voters "uneduacated" Mayo people as "peasants" and those from the North as "Nordies." Whilst describing yourself as "middle class catholic."
FG certainly won't. Some like to announce they vote FG to try and impress people , the same way when they tell others they are members of the local golf club.

This govt are a joke.....implement water charges at the highest cost possible, its just another tax. Will you man the barricades over that?
We have a National School teacher as our leader who will bend over as far as he can for the E.U. He's one eye on a cushy number within the E.U.
Ireland's main policy for years is to screw Joe soap.
As for raiding private pensions, where have you been hiding? How many people lost a major part of their private pensions over the 10 years? They'd have been better off keeping it under the mattress.
The following is from 2013. How Iceland got it so right, and Ireland got it so spectacularly wrong.
When Iceland’s President Olafur Ragnar Grimmson was asked whether or not other countries – Europe in particular – would succeed with Iceland’s “let the banks fail” policy, he stated the following:
“Why are the banks considered to be the holy churches of the modern economy? Why are private banks not like airlines and telecommunication companies and allowed to go bankrupt if they have been run in an irresponsible way? The theory that you have to bail out banks is a theory that you allow bankers enjoy for their own profit, their success, and then let ordinary people bear their failure through taxes and austerity. ?People in enlightened democracies are not going to accept that in the long run.”
Grimmson’s “famous” reply to the controversial question, “What is the reason for Iceland’s recovery?” is most remarkable.
“We were wise enough not to follow the traditional prevailing orthodoxies of the Western financial world in the last 30 years. We introduced currency controls, we let the banks fail, we provided support for the poor, and we didn’t introduce austerity measures like you’re seeing in Europe.”
