Mark Malone knows an awful lot about it.
well if they have kicked out James Reynolds, it not so much that the NP has got rid of the members, rather the NP has left Justin BarrettThe national party's gold has been stolen

Gardaí are inquiring into an allegation that a large amount of gold reserves belonging to the National Party has been stolen.
Gardaí have confirmed they have received a complaint alleging theft from a premises in Dublin 4 but have not established that a crime has been committed and have not commenced a criminal investigation.
A senior member of the party, which has no elected TDs or senators, has claimed that "a considerable quantity in gold" has been removed "from the party’s safe vault in Dublin" and has gone missing.
RTÉ News understand the gold is valued at a six-figure sum.
When thieves fall out....This case was solved rather quick![]()
I'm glad the gold was found , it should be better secured from now on , and it's regrettable that everybody knows about the gold nowWhen thieves fall out....
its a joke. Barrett is probably permanently annoyed that other people besides him are in the NP. He's doing his best to get rid of them. Them and votes.Doesn't it say something about the way the party was run that Justin can expell instantly and completely out of the party the deputy leader etc, of maybe over 10 years standing, by a line in a press statement?
There will surely be defections I would imagine.Doesn't it say something about the way the party was run that Justin can expell instantly and completely out of the party the deputy leader etc, of maybe over 10 years standing, by a line in a press statement?
If the Deputy Leader attempted to steal the party's €400k gold then Justin is fully justified in expelling him. At the end of the day, Justin started this party and he is the leader. If certain members don't like him or want to challenge his leadership then they should leave.Doesn't it say something about the way the party was run that Justin can expell instantly and completely out of the party the deputy leader etc, of maybe over 10 years standing, by a line in a press statement?
Sorry to hear about your failed philatelic experience.experience has shown me that you don't get to form a stamp collecting club in this country without the powers that be at least trying to control it from the start, and generally succeeding.
So you trust Philip?Well I think Philip in particular does great work, but incidentally I believe the main figure, and I think funder, of the "Ireland First" party is Margaret Maguire (who also uses other first names) of Mullingar, whose residence is given as the party headquarters in the filed government documents for the party.
Dublin4 if still alive will be happy about Barrett's demise.....D4 referred to him a BaldrickSo Barrett is out and Reynolds is in.
