- Dobson on RTE now with 3 seanators: Eugene Regan, Cecilia Keaveney and Dominic Hannigan
- Image below: Dail deputies gathering in the Dail in advance of John O'Donoghue's speech
- Eugene Regan attempting to make Enda appear like the honourable leader. Does a better job than some front benchers. Keaveney has heard Kirk for the job but no confirmation from her.
- Reprising Dominic Hannigan's role on Oirechtas Audit committee
- All gathered for the execution #dailby michealwalsh via twitter 10/13/2009 1:31:54 PM
- isn't it a shame we can't select the candidates for execution online? #dailby michealwalsh via twitter 10/13/2009 1:31:55 PM
- #JOD in his seat. Saying his prayersby irishelection via twitter 10/13/2009 1:32:16 PM
- Dominic Hannigan is right about who has oversight on CC expenses. It was nothing to do with the Oireachtas Commission which is why it was inappropriate for that body to deal with it
- JOD is off
- CC must remain above controversy. Inapt for #JOD to respond publicly to expenses as Ministers. For many that silence was lack of defenceby irishelection via twitter 10/13/2009 1:33:27 PM
- No regrets of upholding the Office of CC
- My silence is to ensure office of CC would not be subject to controversy. didnt want to establish precedent #Dailby irishelection via twitter 10/13/2009 1:34:11 PM
- Stood back expecting opportunity to defend himself in his house. No robust debate becuase of damage to office #jodby irishelection via twitter 10/13/2009 1:34:34 PM
- Members of the house acted without giving me a hearing #JODby irishelection via twitter 10/13/2009 1:34:58 PM
- Denined Opportunity to go before Oireachtas Comission by some members in the House
- Most recent objection from press was to self imposed silence. Taken to protect office #JODby irishelection via twitter 10/13/2009 1:35:35 PM
- Friday 2nd of October released records inspired by reaction
- If JOD wanted a right of reply, why didn't he arrange to make a statement to the Dail last week? It was in his power to do so. That was the appropriate place to explain
- Before addressing issus in detail wants to clarify. On Oct 2 he published records. time was chosen not for media adv but to give his sideby irishelection via twitter 10/13/2009 1:36:36 PM
- In my view best to have referendum decided on merits hence the wait for Oct2 to release my documents #JODby irishelection via twitter 10/13/2009 1:36:57 PM
- to Lisbon-Yea right
- did not try and bury the information
- Release secured parity of information for all media outlets #JOD "I did not attempt to bury the information in other events "by irishelection via twitter 10/13/2009 1:37:25 PM

- I can be proud of my record. Am grateful to members who testified to his impartiality. Proud no comlaint made about how he conducted Dailby irishelection via twitter 10/13/2009 1:38:26 PM
- Dunno how #JOD is saying he didnt try to bury his expenses with a straight face. He only released them three hours after the Trib paid €600by Mark_Coughlan via twitter 10/13/2009 1:38:32 PM
- Is he going to cry crocodile tears? #JODby orlaithf via twitter 10/13/2009 1:38:33 PM
- Putting his record on the line... Grateful to those members to those who testified as to his record as CC...
- I now leave it to others to bring about fundamental change to parliamentary expense regime that I believe is required #JODby irishelection via twitter 10/13/2009 1:38:59 PM
