Can anyone shed some light on the truth or otherwise of this claim. Good to know a bit more about the guy.

Batt O' Keeffe was spotted doing just that last Sunday in Ballingeary, Co. Cork. This is the same man who initiated an audit of special needs assistants (SNAs) to ensure Value for Money for the tax payer. The audit is on-going and causing a lot of suffering for special needs children, their parents, classmates and teachers.

He no more needs the Cllr. income than Bertie Ahern. Pat has his eye on bigger things and IMO is using the local elections as a/ a stepping stone b/ a method to feather his own nest c/ a play thing for bored, wealthy people IMO this is an ego trip and like all other politicians he can't be believed or trusted.

Just swop his stress on which percentage applies to which area. Politicians can't tell the truth, especially when they're in 'campaign' mode. Well if he is a politician; he's lying.

Maybe he could be right if that one person is Seanie Fitzpatrick head of Anglo Irish bank who it now turns out owns 50% of the Opera Centre development. Is Pat on the side only of big corporate developers or is he on the side of local residents and businesses? If he's looking to be a cllr for the city then it would be the latter who would be paying his wages but it sounds to me at least that his first loyalty would be elsewhere. Pat was Noreen Ryan's campaign manager wasn't he? There's none so 'Independent' as a lapsed FFer, eh!
