The usual rules apply. Non-rugby talk here. Consider this a social place, but like a pub, things like religion and politics can be divisive, so don't say things here you wouldn't say to someone's face in the pub. Sober

Absolutely shocking alright. Just saw this on twitter, here is the 'email' Leo sent to Failte Ireland

Thankfully no one on here jumped to any conclusions.

This is an email tin Failte Ireland, which no one was ever talking about.

But the fact he tells them he had committed to helping Trump before he ever spoke to them is exactly why this needs to be reviewed in the Dail.

Eh? He committed to asking Bord Faulty if they would review and see if they shared his concerns. So the only commitment was to ask them to have a look at it. Hardly inappropriate. He didn't commit to any outcome.

He claimed to RTE news the only contact he had with anyone over the matter was with Failte Ireland and he misremembered. We'll find out soon enough I suppose because I can't see it just quietly going away at this point.

Yes he’s changed the story pretty dramatically now. But I suspect you’re right. If he has just made up the story then it’s a very, very silly problem to have created for himself.

Things are starting to make sense to me. :pac: :eek:

When/where did Clare Co Council say such an email or contact was very uncommon?

The council never said an email to Failte Ireland was very uncommon. They said a phone call to them was, yesterday morning.

But the Taoiseach's story was not that he sent an email to Failte Ireland. The story has since changed. He says he didn't remember it right.

It wasn't a story. It was an anecdote.

That's more lilke it. I was beginning to worry for you.

I'll tell you an anecdote. In 1974 I was catching the London train from Crewe station. It was very crowded; I found myself in a last-minute rush for the one remaining seat beside a tall, good-looking man with collar-length hair, it was the seventies; buckaroo! I looked up and saw it was none other than Peter Purves, it was the height of his Blue Peter fame. He said, "You jammy bastard" and quick as a flash, I replied, "Don't be blue, Peter!" Needless to say, I had the last laugh, now **** off!

It's not mentioned in any of the articles on the subject on the RTE website. The council said that there was no note of any enquiry or submission on the part of the [then] minister on the planniing file. That should be the case if it happened. There's a specific section on planning files for representations made by politicians.

I think it was a quote from the Irish Times, I htink I also saw it mentionedn on there in the article where they were discussing the developer's concerns yesterday morning, although I can't find that article now.

Their point at the time was that if he had called them they would remember it, and they had no record of it. As it turns out now the Taoiseach has changed his story, they were likely right in that regard.
