Your storytelling skills are fantastic! I hope you get big!
That's very nice of you to say. Thanks.
@@imparter9337 this video popped up on my recommendations, its far fetched why but being Irish it was interesting to know some of the somewhat intricatetues* behind this political downfall, I have a very simple view of politics in Ireland Celtic tiger... rich country then scandal after scandal not knowing the foundations of these problems which seem endemic to this day, your narration is top end, very similar style and execution as SB Nation. (Sports: deep rewind) is the narrator here just a narrator for this UA-cam channel or the narrator is the channel itself ... just wondering...
Thank you. The narrator is me + editor and writer:)
Imparter
When you make it, don't forget us. We've been with you since day dot, We are your loyal fans. I've got your name tattooed on my neck 👍#OG4Life
@@imparter9337 nice video came up in my recommendations too probably because of politics need to watch the video now cheers
In fairness to uncle Gaybo's interview technique, he was employing the well know strategy: "never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake" Sun Tzu
Sun Tzu said that. And I think he knows a little more about interviewing than you do pal because he invented it! And then he perfected it so that no man could beat him in the ring of honour!
That is a Napoleon quote actually.
@@KrypXern nope pretty sure it was Sun Tzu.
True but Uncle Gaybo treated Annie Murphy like a pariah after the affair with Bishop Casey.
@@EMMYK1916 - Yep and he will be forever be tainted with the stench of spineless cowardly hypocrisy because of how he defended the indefensible and attacked Annie Murphy, a dignified intelligent lady who did absolutely nothing wrong. I would hope that Gaybo, if he were alive today would apologise for his mistake, but who knows.
I remember watching this live as a teenager and it burned into my brain. I had never before seen such arrogance. The idea that Flynn thought that the Irish population would be delighted to listen to his tales of multiple houses, maids and expense tabs while they themselves were in the depths of recession. And then the smarmy insincere smugness to cap it off.
Yes, but there are other wealthy people who wish to be left wealthy and don´t tell that on national tv
@@teemum.9023 there is a big difference between wealthy people who made there fortune starting a company and those who were just handed a bag for favors
Wouldn't "insincere smugness" cancel out and be good again?
@@NathanTAK I was just thinking that, you bet me to it.
The best service GayB done for the country, nailing the crook, Flynn's daughter was as bad, she endangered kids lives every day running totally banjaxed school buses with fake safety records (whatever NCT of its day was called)
depths of recession?
“I run a home in Dublin, Castlebar and Brussels, I wanna tell you something, you should try it sometime” is a very well known quote in Ireland. This is a very famous interview here
You forgot to mention a few house keepers as well. All that 100000 per year. They should have made him the finance minister.
@@retrobilly1986 I thought he was the finance minister at one point.
His daughter was convicted of fraud some years later too. What a charming family!
The lovely beverly
Ah, yes. Back when politicians actually resigned after doing something corrupt. Today they just keep going and people keep voting for them.
Lad they just seemed better because we didn't know most of the shit they did. Now in the age of social media everything seems much worse than it is
It’s a mixture. The COVID Clifden Golf saga shows that the public are not so keen to tolerate bad behaviour.
Unfortunately if politicians look after their locals then they often get a huge backing despite being poor politicians for the larger country.
Super Bamse yeah now unless they’re caught with a live boy or a dead girl their party backs them and they ride it out....
joandollie Doyle There’s an expression for that in America: “Pork-barrel spending”.

Gay Byrne was an incredible interviewer. He rarely if ever treated any of his guest politicians like you see broadcast interviewers nowadays, where the order of the day is to take a combative stance and go for the jugular from the get go. Indeed such a stance makes for good TV, with journalists getting plaudits for 'putting it up to politicans' and asking the difficult questions. However, rarely does such an approach yield any new information and allows the interviewee to escape unscathed and victorious,, other than with a few bruises at best. Byrne was a different animal entirely. He was smart and knew that there was much more to be gained from 'dancing' with his guests as opposed to the usual wrestling match we see week in week out. Doubt we will ever see his like again.
Exactly. The interviewer shouldn’t be the focus of the show. He should only a means to have the guest talk with little to no intervention.
@@VOTE_REFORM_UK rte and Fianna Fáil work together and extort through publicity through good or bad press so gay was acting casual here

I didn’t go looking for this video, it found me. That title caught me like a fat bear in a dumpster.
I found it interesting as well. I'm Irish but I'm only 20, I wasn't there for this. My parents and grandparents remember damn well though. Asked my dad what he thought of Charles Haughey once. "Crooked wanker" was his answer.

I was in the audience that night.
Gay Byrne - the consummate broadcaster that he was knew he had “hooked” Flynn.
Like a good fisherman who has hooked a salmon - he then had to land it.
Byrne did that with Flynn.
At the ad break the floorman indicated to Byrne that they were six minutes over the allotted time for Flynn.
Byrne said: “Don’t worry, I’ll get that time back.”
Byrne was the producer of the show. He had control.
I was to be involved in an item on the show. It was scrapped but done the following week.
Gay Byrne was an absolute brilliant broadcaster.
That night was one of his great nights.
He was a bit of prick sometimes too though.
David Kinsella lol a bit ??? Ask bishop Casey’s mistress.
@@COM70 Or Phil Lynott's mother.
Funny. I'm seeing a pattern here.
This was fascinating. Thanks for sharing.
@@COM70 gay was a holy joe so he scorned that woman all in the name of religion 😳 🤔
I would love a series of these "Doomsday clocks" about peoples careers collapsing! Great video!
yes this is a playlist in the making
Corrupt politicians blossom everywhere money is spilled.
"Theatre of Political Sufferings", could be a good title. A great past time for the Working Class.
I would also enjoy this
Great call!
My time in Ireland found me deeply involved in the fringes of Irish politics. I found Irish politics rival the drama, corruption, good intentions, and visionary ambitions from anywhere else in the world. Stunning.
I don't know why this 3 year old video was chosen by the almighty algorithm for me today, but I'm glad that it was! You are amazing at telling a story, and your editing skills are second to none! I'm Swedish and I live in Norway, but I have visited Ireland a few times and I really love it there. This video showed me exactly *why* I love your beautiful country: the people. Not the person who was interviewed, but the everyday people who saw this and were outraged. And you're completely right when it comes to the way the interviewer chose to ask the questions and make his "subject" feel safe - that's the way to do it, if you want honest answers. Lay the trap and let the person you interview talk themselves into oblivion! Thank you for this video, it was a wonderful way to start this *very* grey morning in Norway! I'll go check out some of your other videos now. Have a great week!
"None of us are untouchable, we've all messed up". Ok, but I've never received a 50 grand back-hander from a builder and ended up in the High Courts. Worst I ever did was forgot my wedding anniversary.
Probably suffered more for it than Flynn!
Man thats a life sentence......with no chance of parole
you monster!
i mean if you can't remember you wedding anniversary you are in the same club as him in most peoples opinions. shit is kind of important if you cant remember when you declared your love together in front of your entire friends and family maybe you arent as invested as you think
@@bitchface235 most people's opinion? well this is news to me, I didn't know most people are that dumb
My father was a very poor man all his life, grew up in a working class background, he never had much, but one thing he had was intelligence, and he would chat about politics till the cows came home, one thing he always said was that Irish politicians are gangsters, only years later am I realising just how bloody right he was.
Irish politics is a game of monopoly
To be honest mate, its the same everywhere...all the politicians out there in any of the countries are mostly corrupt bloodsucking rats...
Most countries have gangsters for politicians, my dad meddled with politics for a few years and, despite being the most popular mayor in my town's history, was left so disgusted from the corruption he found that, after his 4 year term, he never ran for office again.
All politicians are gangsters.
You went through the 80's and 90's and you're just NOW realising Ireland's run by gangsters?!
The thing that got me most was that even after admitting to giving Haughey two blank checks Bertie was voted back into power within 6 months. Have never been so shocked at voter naivety in my life.
I remember this video, so well edited it felt like a 1 hour documentary in 11 mins. Make more videos please!
Damn I just spent 11 minutes watching a video on 90s Irish politics
I'm not even Irish. I'm not even from Europe. I'm probably literally on the other end of the globe
New Zealand or Australia?
Where you from
Mexico? Or SE Asia?
Hehe
Not to worry. It wasn’t a waste of your time. These “events” can/are happening all over the world. Change the names and geographic location and you probably have a local story. Stay safe.

@@Chrnan6710 But Martin isn't in this video...?
@@nicholasz2510 We sound alike :)
He's been listening to the old country and western tapes again.....
That ending was an ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE. The breaks in the narration and the music ramping up as you show other examples was inspired, I literally have to rewatch that part again after commenting this. Man, you're going places and I'm so glad I get to see this journey from here. Amazing video! 👏👏👏
I think this might have been another 'key turning point' in politics - the moment when politicians realized the importance of large-scale PR management more in line with what you would see from a big corporation. After all, most of this corruption from back in the day hasn't ceased in any way, it's simply moved into the backrooms of large corporate buildings so it would make sense that politicians have to start advertising and promoting themselves with an image that's more 'corporate friendly'.
We Irish get what we deserve. We elect the same old-same old time and again. When this fool was disposed of, the kind folks of West Mayo promptly elected his daughter to replace him.
It pushes me beyond despairing that the villain gets rewarded..... his daughter took his place because his constituents won't have Dublin telling them what to do.
It they want to vote these people in they should let the play politics at the local Cumann level and not foist these cretins upon the nation .
There’s not much changed today sure except the names and lack of call outs
Yeah west mayo🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🤪
Sure what does that matter when the only decisions the government ever make are for the benefit of The Pale?
Hope you keep doing this videos about modern history of Ireland. I’m from South America and I’m fascinated by it. And you’re a great narrator!!
Only seeing this now, long after it was posted. Congrats on producing such a good mini documentary. The structure, content, presentation and production are top notch. Very professional.
This is really cool. I had grown up in the late 90's/early 00's hearing about these tribunals but never really knew about them. Please keep making these Irish-centric videos. They're really interesting.
Same, pretty much. When I was a kid, the Mahon Tribunal was this boring thing that was always in the news. But when I looked into it as an adult I found it fascinating and I realized there was a story there.

Now somebody’s foot is resting up Flynn’s hole !....
Ah, Gay was brilliant. He knew how to suck people into a false sense of security.
and then deliver that earth shaking compliment at the end!
Like Ali G or Borat.
Gay is the patron saint of Ireland !
When politicians are out & about looking for votes, this is their number 1 tactic. Lull the public into a false sense of security. "All will be alright, if you vote for me."
The same "lull" is currently in progress right now, in relation to the "cov"id to vaccine" scenario.
@Dave Roche there should be a statue to that.

Thumbs up to Barry O'Halloran, for initiating the line of questioning.
Probably planted there especially for that. That was a trick Byrne used on a good few occasions.
Everyone has here seen the physical culmination of corruption brought to account. Gemma O'Doherty is nearly the only one now in Ireland trying to highlight the levels of corruption taking place which now far exceeds some payments for rezoning.
Barry O'Halloran who presses Flynn is widely seen as a hero, yet Gemma O'Doherty is portrayed as a crank, an undesirable, for challenging corruption.

Ah now, that's completely unfair! We all know how radically Irish law and basic morality changed in those 8 years.
As a canadian, i dont know, but if im judging based on your comment. Id venture a guess that theyre still quite similar today.
And this guy, who was Minister for Foreign Affairs, corruption was so brazen he ended up going to prison for six months
Wow this was an incredible video
Didn't expect such high quality from such a small channel
You're ability to explain and tell this piece of political history is outstanding! Your style is fluid, funny and you keep the watcher/listener interested to the end. I am of an age where I remember this whole scandal, but honestly, not until watching this video today and how well you put it together to explain the timeline of events, did I really understand what happened. Thank you so much. Please make more of the same. Thank you!
Hi siobhan i hope you are well was flynn set up by gay Byrne to confess about the money
Vividly remember this interview as a teenager....hugely disliked his pompous arrogance that night. Did no one advise him about media interviews
I often wondered that too. I think he guys like him got carried away with themselves and didn't know when to put the brakes on. Their success was partly based on shady deals and partly on this 'everything's going to be great for everyone' mantra which some people fell for. Bluster was their default setting. It’s fascinating watching this again
@B C, his arrogant head didn't take advice
it is called getting high from smelling your own shit. dude legit thought he didnt stink and everything would be fine. oh wait everything was fine and he got to live out his days rich as fuck
One brilliant video. Great facts and history. Thank you
This was an epic slice of history i wasn't aware of, nice one mate.
The fact that I can be a 17 year old American and still be fascinated by your video speaks greatly of your story telling. Well done
Is it really so surprising? Why do you think American teens shouldn't be interested in foreign affairs?
Glad to hear some young person anywhere is interested in the body politics. It shows you can care about the world's problems and look for solutions. History can be sugar coated and this is history even if quite recent. If you keep notes and keep up with the maze of info you could write a book or even a novel. Good luck.

Congratulations, Imparter, on an excellent report, that manages to get in just enough detail to explain, without clutter, the scale of the corruption that everyone knew was part of normal political life in Ireland, especially but by no means exclusively within the Fianna Fáil party. This is an excellent piece of reporting and video editing.

I know (like most English people) practically nothing about Irish politics but your analysis and story telling are first class. As a result, I watched and enjoyed every minute.
Suspect you could do a bit on Ariggo Sacchi's Milan side, or Adam Smith's economic philosophy and it would be just as riveting.
Looking for these kind of videos of Irish politics for a while now when this showed up! Excellent piece of work as the storytelling is what made me stay until the end of the video! Keep it up!
This is such an excellent story, told in that clear and concise manner that allows one to choose between watching the video or even just listening to it as a podcast. I'm always on the lookout for such channels and when I clicked on this video I thought I hit the motherlode! I cannot convey my disappointment at finding out that there's not more from you!

Thank you. I'm deep into research for the next video.
Genuinely great video. Well edited and explained. Remember hearing about this in my younger years and feeling so bored and drained by the never ending tribunals. I guess that's what the politicians legal team want to happen, bore the shite out of the public by making it sound complicated and they'll eventually lose interest.

This man just drops a banger of a UA-cam video and vanishes
Fascinating Video! And also, fantastic thumbnail and title! :)
I don’t leave comments on video, but to the creator, this was amazing. The editing and storytelling was master class. What you made about a subject that could be easily considered boring and dull, you turned into something fascinating and interesting. Please god keep up the good work. Would love to see more videos like this on other Irish political scandals
Incredibly well made, well done!
And here I am, A Canadian, learning something about Irish politics. Very interesting
its full of crooks

Me too!
Impressive stuff man, haven’t seen video quality from a Chanel this small ever.
I'm not sure how I got to your channel, but this is very interesting! I'm subbing. Hope to see more from you!
The clever luring in from the show host and the precise damaging question from the journalist absolutely decimated him. Thrilled that this video came up in my late night scrolling, super interesting to learn more about historical Irish politics!
Absolutely savage video, would love to see more Irish history videos on youtube with such amazing production quality.
Excellent video and interesting story! Thank you for the great content!
Great work hope you come back soon!
MASTERFUL editing cut to the eye roll here 10:13. Subbed.
I don't know. I heard them discussing Charlie Haughey and his business dealings on RTE radio around 1990 and they were so careful it was obvious they were afraid of their life of him.
I've been trying to learn more about Irish history recently and this video has sparked my interest big time!
Great job!
Your storytelling is so goood. I have zero interest in politics and have no idea why this was recommended to me but I was hooked 👌🏽✨
Wow this was an amazing short documentary. I checked your channel. This is your first documentary. Are you gonna make more? You're very good. Well edited, funny and entertaining

Really enjoyed this, your a good narrator keep it up
Impeccable video, absolutely stellar work. I had no idea Ireland had a pervasive public debate about government corruption up to the 90’s.
If I ever have to demonstrate that YT produces some important information for the public at large, it would be this video no doubt. Hope your channel keeps growing 🙏
Unbelievable tem pricks robbing Ireland and getting away with it an ord8eud gel life for a lot less wankers
Shower of crooked pricks
