Purple if you have got nothing better to post except a throwaway comment did you should not post. And as for the +1.....
Please explain why its disgraceful ie back it up with some sensible comments, viz say he does not know the J&J people, which is not true,
He did not donate the money to charity he gave it to a friend. He was only enititled to it because another minister did not sign off the paper in time.
The " HONOURABLE" thing would have been to face up and say " As I have already voted against such perks it would be incorrect for me to accept this payment, therefore I have declined it." I can assure you he would gain far more kudos and maybe won back a bit of decency for the dail. What he has done is cock a snoop at the lot of us.
I have donated to J&J and I can assure you I will not be donating again and I have told them so.
