Unless it's been passed on to the Gardaí in conjunction with a criminal investigation.

If it's with fg also and is leaked the leak would have to be proven to have come from the hotel for them to suffer consequences. Very difficult thing to prove.

Edit: And of course the hotel's legal team when their defence against the claim was being drafted.
Their is no inkling as to whether it was passed to the litigant's legal team however.
As such it would still very much be the Hotel's baby.

The file (including the tape) has been passed to Fine Gael's legal team.

That's assuming the hotel passed the CCTV to FG as part of the barristers review.
In the absence of a GDPR request from Ms Bailey or others in the footage, there is no obligation on the hotel to provide it to Barrister.

If it was provided and Ms Bailey agreed to its review as part of the FG investigation and then it subsequently leaked, then it would be very hard to lay blame on a source.

If the footage is as damning as many believe for Bailey and Madigan, it would be a politically expedient way of cutting their legs from under them too
FG may hope to install candidates in their place and depending on how a release is spun, it could be a grab for moral high ground.

Correct which means we will see it some day. The timing could be vital for the value.

Now is the time while people are still fuming. No good releasing it when it's forgotten about. I don't think we'll see it tbh

Such a difficult predicament. If she is expelled from fg , will she try sue them ? If she runs for re-election again and doesn’t get elected , will she try and sue the electorate?

A gentle reminder closer to GE19 might work out better.

She could team up on a class action with that Wombat excuse of a politician, up there in Donegal, Frank Mc Brearty. He’s claiming Post Traumatic Disorder against Fine Gael at the moment.

Isn’t no wonder this country feels like a cesspool of despair when these people should have more ethics and lead by some sort of example.

Does anyone know if she has been barred from the premises?

Fine Gael has it, or at least the investigator.

I'm not sure. It would be a very great risk to leak it, and for what material benefit? It could cost someone their career, for example if they ever wanted to be appointed to the bench.

Probably more people inside FG with the knives out for her than outside at this stage.

Does this mean that FG can now manage the release? Give it to a friendly journo and try to put the best possible spin on it before it get out some other way?

pinkyeye

Am I right in saying that nothing has happened since?

I never vote on party lines but this is the once incident that will make me vote for anyone but FG. If they don't take action on this then they don't give a **** about any small business in this country.

I think the other people in it is their main concern. If it was just her, it may have already surfaced.

So Maria Bailey FG TD was with her FG TD friend whose Brother In Law broke the story and a few weeks later the FG Minister for housing's Brother writes in the same paper that we should lay-off Maria Bailey?

Is everyone in positions of influence in FG Dublin area related? Are they like a kinda Mafia family?

I thought the story was broken in the Indo.

Imagine businesses started to turn her away for fear that she may sue and potentially force the business to close down, should she fall off the toilet due to the lack of instructions and supervision.
Citing 'management have the right to refuse admission'.
:eek::D
Possibly not the enemy you would want on one hand, but potentially the best publicity your business could get, on the other.
It would probably be better if a load of businesses decided to do it together..



They could include Farrell, and possibly a few more.

I tell you what. It might finally dawn on her the seriousness of spurious claims and the effect on local businesses, and the level of the public's disgust at her.

She would need some morals for that to be the case so its a no. The only thing she will be worried about is her seat.

National police forces are exempt from GDPR.

Again, please educate yourself on GDPR before making false claims.

The GDPR applies to police forces in relation to many processes including HR processing, general administration and general CCTV processing. The Law Enforcement Directive (LED) applies to processing when police are investigating or preventing criminal offences.

What if someone had a recording of the original video on their phone, ( say, security from the Dean Hotel, an employee from the Indo or some other sources) and posted it on Web, would it be possible to track the phone it came from?

They would find a way of pursuing legal recourse for “discrimination” of some kind.

Ask the 10,000+ homeless families due to repossession how positive this country is and how much this government is doing for them.

Homeless me bollix, all of them have families that made them "homeless", I have no sympathy for people that dont work looking for handouts or people that took out mortgages they couldnt afford.

Priorities should be disabled people, health, education and child and elderly care services.
