[QUOTE="SoundMan, post: 7133356, member: 28532"] Poor Micheal Martin - wonder if he'll be given an easy ride in the media. EXCLUSIVE The expletive-laden texts at the centre of bullying probe as Marc MacSharry resigns from Fianna Fáil [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/politics/the-expletive-laden-texts-at-the-centre-of-bullying-probe-as-marc-macsharry-resigns-from-fianna-fail-42112496.html[/URL] Marc MacSharry has resigned from [URL='https://www.independent.ie/topics/fianna-fail-40346876/']Fianna Fáil[/URL], ending his family’s association with the party that stretches back nearly 40 years. In a strongly worded statement, Mr MacSharry said his decision to quit is due to Taoiseach [URL='https://www.independent.ie/topics/micheal-martin-40346954/']Micheál Martin[/URL]’s handling of an investigation into a bullying complaint made against him by a Fianna Fáil councillor. The Sligo-Leitrim TD described the complaint made by councillor Donal Gilroy as “highly politically motivated”, adding that its timing was “unquestionably suspicious” given it was made ahead of his readmittance to the party. “The handling of this complaint has involved the blatant manipulation of written Fianna Fáil party procedures together with a breach of confidentiality and denial of due process by party officials and the leadership,” he said. The [I]Irish Independent[/I] can also reveal the text messages at the centre of the bullying complaint by Mr Gilroy. The expletive-filled messages, which appeared in a Fianna Fáil WhatsApp group for Sligo representatives, show Mr MacSharry sharply criticising Mr Gilroy for comments he made on Ocean FM about the TD’s efforts to secure additional cardiology services for their local hospital. “Nothing like trying to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory,” Mr MacSharry wrote into the group on July 13. “Ye fairly tried to f**k me there pouring water all over it, praising (Fine Gael minister Frank) Feighan and the others. It would sicken yer hole. Good man best of luck,” he added. [/QUOTE]
