oh yeah and was pictured with his arm around his married aide while on a 5 work jolly in Doha, while austerity measures were being announced at home. She quit her job, he did not. https://amp.independent.ie/irish-news/hogans-doha-aide-will-not-return-to-politics-29076108.html?__twitter_impression=true
had to resign cos he leaked the budget 4 hours early to the papers and got caught by the bollix http://www.thejournal.ie/budget-phil-hogan-1995-1726344-Feb2015/
and this is a bit questionable TBF https://amp.independent.ie/business/irish/nationwides-soft-loan-to-hogan-26873373.html?__twitter_impression=true
He was the trade commissioner who defended the Mercosur deal and said that compromises had to be made, even though it will mean the displacement of several South American people's and huge environmental impacts, while threatening agriculture here. https://www.thejournal.ie/eu-mercosur-deal-explained-4704790-Jul2019/
Oh and he also likes to have informal off the record meetings, even after people have been named in reports like the Moriarty report https://amp.independent.ie/opinion/analysis/jody-corcoran-ok-enda-this-is-why-theres-a-fuss-about-phil-hogan-26840747.html?__twitter_impression=true
Why did he bring documents relating to ongoing trade negotiations to a hotel with a number of politicians and lobbyists?
Voted against ban on cruel staghunting
Ignored 500 messages about export of Irish animals to Libya where they are "beaten & stabbed"
Claimed greyhound racing, in which 1000s of dogs are killed each year, "is 2nd to none in terms of animal welfare" https://www.facebook.com/banbloodsports/posts/3194904283958441

thought a negative test meant he didn't have to self isolate, so
went playing golf in Adare Manor and did 2 days of golf in Galway, while claiming he was engaged in trade negotiation with the US. A negative test means nothing, you still need to isolate

And he lied to his boss, and the Irish people AGAIN https://www.irishtimes.com/news/politics/hogan-visited-roscommon-on-day-he-went-to-co-galway-for-controversial-golf-event-1.4338405
Then he tweeted about how he earlier rejected HSE advice, realised he was going to get piled on, dirty deleted and then tweeted this, that people can't reply to instead. Way to interact with the people who elected you initially @PhilHoganEU

and he can't even tag the right people on Twitter, despite some people claiming he is our only hope for #Brexit negotiation
Oh and he lied AGAIN https://twitter.com/newschambers/status/1298522923188260864?s=19
