During his visit to Ireland last week, Prince Albert of Monaco had dinner with disgraced on the take TD Michael Lowry and crooked former banker Michael Fingleton.
The dinner was organised by businessman Dr Michael Smurfit, Ireland's Honorary Consul in Monaco, and took place in the K Club, which Dr Smurfit owns. Mr Fingleton, while controlling Irish Nationwide Building Society, gave a loan to Dr Smurfit and property developer Gerry Gannon to purchase the K Club in Co Kildare.
Dr Smurfits position of honorary Consul is under the control of the Department of Foreign Affairs, currently run by Labour leader Eamon Gilmore. Despite claiming he is shocked that this dinner took place, and insisting that it was unofficial, he has made no moves to remove Dr Smurfit from this role or to discipline him for an obvious abuse of power. It seems Mr Gilmore is happy to accept the antics of the Golden Circle. Meanwhile, his labour colleague, Joan Burton, announced that cuts to Children's benefit were likely.
