Healy Eames stars in trains, drains and automobiles

The law only applies to the lower orders, not members of the upper house, Senator Fidelma Healy Eames seems to believe.

Once again putting the fine into Fine Gael, Healy Eames was ordered by a judge to pay €1,850 for driving her Mercedes without a tax disc on three separate occasion.

Though usually one of the more publicity-hungry members of the Seanad, Healy Eames, who takes a €65,621 annual salary from taxpayers as well as expenses of some €3,600 a month, did not bother attending court to hear Judge Mary Fahydeliver a damning verdict on her.
