Trevor Sargent resigns - did FF give him the bump? (1 Viewer)

He is well known for waving in the council chamber a cheque received in the post from a builder who was seeking planning permission for a housing development. When he asked the other members whether any of them had also received cheques, he was assaulted by a number of his fellow councillors. Sargent alleged that Fianna Fáil councillor Don Lydon put him in a headlock and attempted to snatch the cheque from him.

Wow... if only I had payed more attention attending CBS Roscommon.. I'd be in that big feckin house, grappling with a junior minister "GIVE US THAT CHOMP SARGANT YA BOLLOX"
 
anyway, the upshot of all this is that trev might have actually raised (or lowered, depending on your perspective) the bar on what it takes for a minister to resign. but i live in hope bordering on delusion.
