When a PhD on the "politics of smell" trended on X recently it exposed how elites use pretentious woke gobbledegook to exclude the people from power, much like previous generations used Latin and Greek, says Steven Tucker.

€100,000 Ferris claims he's entitled to Medical Card

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Monday December 09, 2002 10:39author by Dave D Report this post to the editors

Ferris 'entitled to medical card'

Sinn Fein TD Martin Ferris has responded to media reports over the weekend that he has a medical card to cover his expenses claiming he's entitled to it.

This is despite the fact that he is alleged to be earning nearly €100,000 annually. He used the card recently to pay for a €30 flu jab.

The claim comes while his party colleague Sean Crowe campaigns for a medical card for a constituent who is 50 cent over the cut off point for the service.

However, Mr. Ferris this evening said that he was technically eligible to hold a medical card.

He says that the relevant authorities in the south west approved his medical card.

The deputy says that because he was employed for many years before being elected, he was then entitled to a medical card for three years when employed.

Political commentator Dave D said last night "sure if the bloke doesn't think twice about smuggling guns to be used in a futile war in which the innocent will inevitably die, he's unlikely to give a toss about screwing the health system for a few bob".
