Déirdre de Búrca, the Green Party’s former senator, has claimed that a three-part report on the DDDA’s financing, planning and corporate governance — which is being examined by the attorney general — is too hot to handle, containing “significant evidence of malpractice” that will visit great discomfort on Fianna Fail.

It is a case of the "emperors new clothes" as everybody , media, politicians, blueshirts etc line up to have a go at the DDDA. Where were these for the last decade when locals were crying foul. Oh yeah, they were "fumbling in the greasy till" too. There is a decade plus worth of dirt to dig on these chancers, and there are more than Fianna Failers worried about who knows what and whos gonna tell.
