The Sindo reported that she was a teenager from the Ukraine, but rte are now reporting that she was an interpreter.

I feel sorry for his family though as the press arent being too sympathic to them with alot of hearsay and speculation. Interestingly model Glenda Gleeson is his niece, wouldnt have suspected that!

RTE confirmed that the Ukranian woman was employed as an interpreter in Prague which gets back to a point I made in my original posting. Nothing surprising about someone that age bracket being employed as a translator, I have experienced working with translators of similar age in other Eastern European countries.

I went to school with his nephew. Not a nice lad to say the least. I have to hold my hand up and say I was wrong if it is indeed an interpreter. I hope it was for the sake of his family. Desperately shocking of the papers I have to say. They went at it so heavily this morning that it was a prostitute and a red light district. I gave them some credit and assumed they had to be right to do that the morning after he died. Hmmmmmm.

It is the main route to the city centre from Moscow's main international airport and is quite long. There is bound to be a red light district somewhere along it.

They appear to have had a very comfortable lifestyle by 'putting up' with him and no doubt will continue to do so after his demise. I cannot see Mrs.L and children saying 'Jeez, most of this was probably got illegally, so perhaps we should give it back to the Govt.'

I find it hard to believe that his wife and family did not know or suspect or at least did not question if his activities were legal, particularly when the tribunal was convened and he behaved in the way he did.

Sorry no sympathy from me. One 'cute hoor' less as far AFAIAC.

I absolutely believe the "diplomatic" assurances that the passenger in the car was a translator.

There's no doubt in my mind that she's a cunning linguist.

I agree with a totally, has to be said that the guy have nothing short of a crook and offered nothing to the electorate with all his shady dealings. The guy was typical of everything that is wrong with FF, pity is there are plenty more like him in that party and very few left in it that you could trust. It might have been a good party at one stage but most people you talk to will all agree that FF has its fair share of gangsters. Lawlor was just one of them that got caught, and even after getting caught managed to cost the state millions for months afterwards. R.I.?

Just shows you that a paper can't refuse the ink thats being printed on it.
I'm surprised that so many papers(non tabloids) bought this pup of a story.

Sad loss for FF - he, along with CJH, represented the true soul of the party.

Feel sorry for the family as it appears it was a translator. RTE were even running with the story, and some FF head throwing in that the (at the time thought to be) hooker could've been for the driver. :rolleyes:

Would say a lot of corrupt feckers will not be sad for him, if he spilled the beans he would hang a lot of feckers, wonder if he left a little black book of names/dodgy dealings to be released if anything happened to him?

Now that could have interesting consequences....

The papers are disgraceful for starting that rumour. I see the Star have appologised. I bet it was that rag that started it.

Lawlor was a cowboy but its a terrible way to go.

Maybe he's not really dead at all.....and this is all a majorly elaborate hoax so his financial woes are over. What odds he's living in Brazil...;) :D :D

You probably said it in jest, but it's not something I'd discount. He was well connected over there by all accounts, and it's very hard to be connected in Russia without being connected to the mob; who know the right people to bribe and threaten. If I wanted to leave my troubles behind, Russia's where I'd do it.

Only a little jest there Adam, part of me believes it totally possible...

By "soul" you mean f**kin' gangsters yes ?
FF are a shower of corrupt b*stards, always have been, always will be. Still the farmers will always vote them in.:rolleyes:

Indo once again has proven it is no longer a broadsheet and is a pure tabloid. That paper is getting worse by the day. Is the editor new? I heard they got the lad from the Star or Sun?
