@davidlean1060 I'm from Castlebar and I hate the Flynn more than anyone but if you met them you'd realise how they got where they are. They are so adept at charming people. Met P a few times and while I hate him and everything he stands for he has the charisma of Satan himself😂
As an Englishman, I’m incredibly grateful for these videos, because I think it’s important to understand and remember the politics of our closest neighbours. Really informative.
Yes Indeed. He was definitely displaying here the overweening gradiosity and imbalanced mental state that would lead to his own downfall. 'Put a Pie Key on horseback and he will ride to the hottest part of hell.'.
P Flynn was known to have raised money for the transplant and never gave it to him. Lenihan being such a party royalist didn't say anything either, it's really sad.
the liar is the lowest, wish we had more info back then, more respect fpr what grows under my toenail than these "dynasties" we have ha to suffer in my country for generations.
As an American with almost no background in Irish politics, I was recommended this channel and I found the video quite enjoyable. You’ve another subscriber.
These are magnificent, mr Imparter. More please - love the Padraig Flynn vid too! We’re going through our own corruption enlightenment in Scotland after years of beatification of Holyrood. You could turn your eye on Edinburgh some time!
This is such a delight to listen to. I know next to nothing about Irish politics, but this was so well articulated and interesting that it was an easy listen.
Excellent breakdown of a complex series of events. Of course, it helps that the characters are so compelling. A lot of people feel sorry for Lenihan now, seeing him as a poor dupe in Haughey's larger machinations. Imparter, if you need an idea for your next video, two words: Terry Keane.
Terry Keane was an embarrassment to herself and her family . She was one of many sidepieces Othello Haughey had on the go. She wanted people to think she was no 1. She wasn't. Devastating effect on her daughter's mental health. A worthless individual, like H and his Corrupt Party. And the 'police' who still enable them.
In fairness, he brought a whole new meaning to " mature reflection ". God rest his soul, and that of his son Brian, a fine Minister for Finance, in a terrible time, and gone too soon.
Great watch! I was a student in UCD during most of these events, and it's hard to overstate how furiously indignant the FF faithful were that Robinson would directly challenge Lenihan, never mind the anger directed at Duffy. I would have been (and am) a Labour voter and a Robinson supporter, but having met all 3 candidates in the course of the campaign, it was obvious that Lenihan was head and shoulders above the others in terms of charm and sheer charisma, and a sense of both experience and confidence, despite his health. While Robinson's presidency was a defining moment in the modernisation of Ireland, and undoubtedly the right choice, it still feels sad that such a vital, likeable figure as Lenihan came to such an ignominious end. It would be nice to think that the personal loss he suffered at least had the upside of ending the mystique of cute-hoorism, but a quick survey of the fresh faces in the background of many of these clips, some unencumbered with bank accounts, show we were only getting started.
You have to give some credit to Haughey he started his own GoFundMe long before it was invented😂 The intervention from Flynn was probably Lenihan's downfall to be fair and one can't forget having Bertie as your campaign manager😂
Fantastic video. Really appreciate the effort you've put in to research this and edit the footage, this is broadcast quality but written for a target audience of people who weren't alive/politically aware back in the 90s - for that reason alone, RTÉ couldn't have produced this! I look forward to the next
I love having notifications on for a bunch of youtuber's who most great documentaries once every few years so I can be confused whenever I see the notification, click on the channel and go "Oh this guy, I love his videos"
So, with the context of the call log at the end, would you consider Lenihan's statement in the interview to be a lie? It seems to me like a middle ground between "I didn't call him at all" and "I spoke to him directly." He called the office, his message was relayed and he knew that, but he wasn't able to get a direct yea or nay from the President in real time. Either way, I appreciate your videos. As I study for a history degree, I appreciate more and more that I shouldn't uncritically accept everything I see in a half hour long youtube video... But you make it very easy! I think you show a lot of passion, you do your best to keep things accessible, and you've improved with each of your last three videos, including finding a visual style from your last video that I can see you running with.
I think he was genuinely confused when he spoke to Duffy and possibly transposed different incidents from his memory on top of each other. I think his answer in subsequent media interviews were lies as he stated he 'did not ring President Hillery' when we know for a fact that he did call the Áras.
This is the man to said, "Ireland is too small for all the people to live here". 1987. Population then was 2.5 million 50% of everyone born had to emigrate.
I would love to see a video on the collapse of the tiger and the role the aforementioned Bertie Ahern’s cabinet played in it. Every time a new character in Irish politics is mentioned in one of these videos, I get hopeful for a new video about them!
Duffy didn’t come out of that with a lot of credit, he went ahead and outed Lenahan despite being told it was unethical. I see he ended up in journalism. Figures.
You need to do a video about Haughey himself. Seeing him this vid and the one about Flynn in the background really makes me want to see a video about him
Brian lenihan sr was asked about Brian jr. Brian jr has great brain, great talent and I have no doubt he will go far. Conor (his youngest sin)he says...pause was very good with his hands.
Well told, however, Mary Robinson, as far as my memory goes, was touring the country and campaigning long, long before the other candidates got off the ground. She redefined presidential campaigning as indeed, she redefined the presidency itself. FG never really thought that Austin Curry had a realistic chance and FF presumed, arrogantly, that the presidency was in their gift as usual. They didn't realise until late in the day that Mary Robinson had quietly built up quite a following, especially among Mná na hÉireann.
Brian Lenihan did do some good when in power - he was the one who in the 1960s liberalised the Irish censor laws. Many books and films had been banned by the very conservative Eamonn DeValera in the 1930s, 40s and 50s. So some good he did.

It was a dirty and sick Presidential campaign that I ever witnessed. Fine Gael behaviour during the campaign was appalling and unforgiving and for Padraig Flynn even though he made an apology for his remarks on the radio on the last few days of the campaign he should have been fired on the spot as Government minister and thrown out of the Fianna Fail party.
Haughie and flynn shared a middle name Pierrepont, and the other was on the back window of most cars in the country nodding away,lenahan had liver problems the there 3 had spinal problems, ie none

Oh my days. New Imparter vid!
Love your videos Tantacrul!
@@redzzder7951Thanks!
🎵Tanta-CRUL!🎵
@@SamAronowImparter, Tantacrul and Sam Aronow in the SAME COMMENT? This is peak RUclips
@@joaovitormatos8147it’s actually crazy. I hadn’t heard of Imparter before, but if Sam and tantacrul are vouching for him thats a good sign
Hearing Padraig Flynn popping up earlier in history is like seeing a major character cameo in a prequel.
lol yeah, definite "fancy running into you here" vibes for sure.
@@davidlean1060she greatly enhanced her reputation
@davidlean1060 I'm from Castlebar and I hate the Flynn more than anyone but if you met them you'd realise how they got where they are. They are so adept at charming people. Met P a few times and while I hate him and everything he stands for he has the charisma of Satan himself😂
Padraig Flynn - the undisputed champion of stupid and needless own-goals in Irish politics.
His nose was so stuck up he couldn't see the pit he was walking into.
So he's the Eric Saward of Irish poltics
And his daughter was very much in the same mold - “a flynn will always support a “flynn”.
As an Englishman, I’m incredibly grateful for these videos, because I think it’s important to understand and remember the politics of our closest neighbours. Really informative.
If only our politicans had their careers destroyed when they lied.
The Pádraig Flynn Cinematic Universe expands
Wow, P Flynn certainly knew how to annoy the women of Ireland! Great story, well told.
Yes Indeed. He was definitely displaying here the overweening gradiosity and imbalanced mental state that would lead to his own downfall. 'Put a Pie Key on horseback and he will ride to the hottest part of hell.'.
Haughey dipped his hands into lenihans liver fund. The fall out with the lenihan family was catastrophic for a while
That was disgusting
Charlie was a real piece of work!
@@jjtinkler97Charlie and his cabinet
Jesus what a scumbag.
P Flynn was known to have raised money for the transplant and never gave it to him. Lenihan being such a party royalist didn't say anything either, it's really sad.
As an American (US variety), I am nostalgic/envious toward politics where scandals (not to mention crimes, FFS) can end a career. 😕
Struggling with every time Haughey is mentioned to not hear a clown's nose being squeaked.
May the man rest in peace.
Oh he was no clown...
So in the end, it wasn't the phonecalls to President Hilary that finished Brian Lenihan, but our boi Pádraig Flynn.
Imparter's back! I thought he must have been "out of sorts"!
or his wife wasn't well
@s😂😂😂😂peakertreatz
the liar is the lowest, wish we had more info back then, more respect fpr what grows under my toenail than these "dynasties" we have ha to suffer in my country for generations.
We knew. A Blind man could see it.
Your editing, narration, subjects are all perfect. I hope you make more videos in the future.
Thanks, will do!
“Long before he had worries like the upkeep of three houses”
Ah yes, the Imparter cinematic universe
I'm almost a bit disappointed he didn't give the resignation letter to the press in a "I'll take you all with me" move.
Kinda impressive
Cronyism at its finest .
As an American with almost no background in Irish politics, I was recommended this channel and I found the video quite enjoyable. You’ve another subscriber.
Great to see you back lad! And bonus P Flynn in it too ha ha ha
These are magnificent, mr Imparter. More please - love the Padraig Flynn vid too! We’re going through our own corruption enlightenment in Scotland after years of beatification of Holyrood. You could turn your eye on Edinburgh some time!
He's finally back! I was so disappointed this channel went silent for so long. Hope this means there will be more high quality videos in the future

That would be an amazing video.

Mature recollection. Politicians in the American south like to use the term "misremember".
Return of the King, and what a return it is. Excellent video!
I've heard this story so many times but this is the first time I actually understand the dissolving of the the dail part. Great video
In fairness, he brought a whole new meaning to " mature reflection ".
God rest his soul, and that of his son Brian, a fine Minister for Finance, in a terrible time, and gone too soon.
Brilliant to see topics like this on youtube and with this kind of production value!
Can’t wait for the next upload in the following years, joke aside your videos are class

What a great start to my day! An Imparter video!!!!!!!!!!!
Great research and a brilliant narrative. A rare combination that should be cherished.
Fantastic work. Thank you
Love your stuff, thanks for informing us on Irish history!
You have to give some credit to Haughey he started his own GoFundMe long before it was invented😂 The intervention from Flynn was probably Lenihan's downfall to be fair and one can't forget having Bertie as your campaign manager😂
Great work putting this together...very concise and comprehensive account
Great video as always!

Thank you. This really is what I aim for. It does take a lot of work but it's worth it.
Excellent video, so well put together and researched!
Really happy to see another video from you pop up!
This is really good, well done!
This is so well done. Thank you for the work you've put into this
Oh man, I didn’t know you’d dropped a new video.
Glad to see something new from you (even if I’m 2 months late 😂)
Really enjoying the content, bud! Keep up the great work.
Gripping storytelling!!! Good to see you back!!!
Great voice, strong research and wonderfully written. Well done Imparter!
Excellent video! Great to have you back
Delighted you're back!
On form as always. Looking forward to listening to the video before this one soon.
My boy! My boy's back!
Love the video anyway, love hearing about more ghouls from Irish politics. they don't make em like this anymore
So so so good. Cheers!

welcome back the best most under appreciated youtube channel out there
Brilliant video! Not only a window into irish history but itish culture as well.
He's back!
Thank you for the new video Imparter!

Brian lenihans 6 1 news appearance was heartbreaking on a sympathetic point of view
I don't think he ever realised just what their 'friendship' actually meant to Charlie.
A liar.
He’s like an Irish politician anti-hero
I remember all this very well.
Another great video!
Return of the King
wha what!!?!? a new ImParter video?!!?? Cheers boyo!!
This was a really good video!

YES! You're back ❤
Criminally undersubbed xD
Worth the wait
Pádraig Flynn just couldn't keep his mouth shut...
One could say he's out of sorts
Brilliant doc
Lad remembered to upload!
I love these videos
Woo!
When I was like 14, I remember watching Brian Lenihan, Jnr on Primetime, he was looking at Miriam O'Callaghan's head like she was a snack box
not called lying lenihan for nothing should have being called Walter mitty
Duffy didn’t come out of that with a lot of credit, he went ahead and outed Lenahan despite being told it was unethical. I see he ended up in journalism. Figures.
You need to do a video about Haughey himself. Seeing him this vid and the one about Flynn in the background really makes me want to see a video about him
As opposed to the lies that won a politician the Presidency.
Another banger
