    Not sure if it's G O'D or The Village you have an issue with.

    Check this out for an update on their relationship.

    I mean, it seems a bit out of date to keep harking back to Village when RTÉ etc have now taken it up.

    Statement from the Green Party - another twist of the screw

    The Green Party notes the statement from the Tánaiste following the revelations in Village Magazine. The party is calling on the Tánaiste to give a full and detailed account to the Dáil on the issue and to allow sufficient time for the statement followed by questioning.

    It is clear from what has been revealed that the passing on of sensitive information in this manner was not appropriate. The timelines and the full impact of the disclosure on all involved needs further scrutiny.

    Greens have a chance to finally show they're not just a doormat in this coalition

    I'd say this time next week they'll still be the doormat.

    MM or Greens no confidence, Varadkar can go to electorate and win!

    FF and Greens be the big losers

    Varadkar will not fall

    Re-framing your analogy I'd say it's more like time for FG to clean up the mess on their door step.

    Varadkar "led" FG to their second worst election result in the party's history, and Leo himself barely scraped over the line in the last election. They had to formally enter a coalition with FF and watch the Shinners leap frog them.

    You've a shed load more confidence in Leo than I'd say even the top tier of the fine gael hierarchy have tbh BBM.

    I’d say some of his FF colleagues will quickly shush him on that stuff.

    He has been tweeting about it all day. This isn't something that will just be swept under the rug. Especially when FF have already had 2 ministers kicked to touch under this government.

    Didn't take long for the aggrieved FF backbenchers to stick the boot in.

    It’s only a non story if he didn’t hand over this document in the given circumstances.

    If he did, then his position is untenable. He can’t ever be in cabinet again and quite frankly, if true, he needs to immediately resign as a TD.

    Has this not-so-rough beast's hour come round at last?

    My point is factual. The quote from the article is on a whatsapp message not posted by Varadkar.

    If there is evidence he did say it then feel free to share with the class.


    Was that you talking about snark earlier?

    My point is also factual.

    Duhhhhh, the evidence has been provided, his close personal friend, confidant and possible business partner (?) stating to a group of GP's Varadkar told him he doesn't give a f+ck about refugees. DP is Flanagans gig.

    Or do you think Varadkars mate who he leaked government documents to is lying? Surely that would be another defamation case for Varadkar?

    If Martin doesn't push Leo out the door he's finished. Don't know how any FF'ers in gov could stand by him after he already sacked 2 of his own TDs.

    Martin only does what's convenient for Martin.

    He has a history of shafting people to cover his own failings.

    Coveney wouldn't be much of an improvement to be honest. If anything he could do far more damage IMO.

    politics means "get them out" if you are in opposition.

    Then when the Opposition get in they are squeaky clean. Yeah right.

    It is a battle. Find the weak spots and go full on. Will be interesting to see how this V issue pans out. There is no doubt he didn't display public service in this, more like his own. But we shall see what media outlet decides to fillet him. They will decide.

    Coveney has been pig ignorant to the brits with brexit, which has gained him many fans in Ireland. Wait till he behaves like that when dealing with various groups in Ireland.
