McDowell express picks up steam

ROLL up, roll up for your seats on the mystery train ride that takes you through the long and dramatic journey of Michael McDowell’s political career. Yes folks, we can guarantee a spectacular rollercoaster ride.

Look left now to see the spills and the thrills of his stuntman period when he recklessly chucked himself out of Fine Gael, walked the tightrope with the electorate of Dublin South-East and fell off badly in 1987. Witness him shimmying up a lamp-post with AB-SO-LUTE-LY zero protection.

Ooops, now we’re hurtling through the dungeon of horrors; all the bruising battles; his well-meaning-hubris; the smacks he took over casinos, café bars. If you are of sensitive disposition, avert your eyes for his unprovoked VBH (verbal bodily attack) on a defenceless Fine Gael deputy leader.
