JM calling Dr Crowley a "Pet TD"
in a interview with Leona Nally "before" the 16/02/07
In John Monaghan's interview with the Maynooth Advocate when asked
"Are there any plans to use the general election, put politicians under pressure, etc? "For sure, we have our high profile 'pet TD', Joe Cowley who has supported Shell to Sea", Monaghan replies. "They're stealing our natural resources, so it is a national issue, but our focus at the moment is local."
I think calling Dr Crowley a "pet TD" was inexcusable, Dr Crowley has been very vocal on behalf of the residents of erris on this conflict.
Without his contrubitions in the dail S2S would have close to no explicit political backing!
Which do you think annoys Cowley more? People who call him a "pet TD", or people who can't be bothered getting his name right?
Jerry Cowley using Garda loudhailer to try and stop protests on October 20th last year
Apologies to anyone who may have taken offence at the "pet TD" quote. Dr Cowley's name is constantly mis-quoted which gets on everyone's nerves down here, but no disrespect was intended at the Maynooth talk.
It was a well attended night where the video footage of the November 10th baton charge was shown. To counter the oppressive nature of images of Garda violence a generally good humoured discussion followed, including the above quote and even lines from "Braveheart", and it's success was reflected in several in attendance travelling to Mayo for February 16th.
If you don't have a laugh now and again (especially at yourself) then you're not fully alive... that's why I wear the hat!
Well done JM!
We need a few more like you - and not just in Mayo.
