    I was thinking more about the £10k stolen by the senator. But this sh*t show is more serious.... for now. My moneys on more golf, drink driving or money laundering

    Ah.....very good Bubbaclaus, I mistook it for more of your snark. Thanks for pointing out to everyone I'm new here for some random reason. Your a gentleman. And still wrong.

    Well when you came on here with the statement "This is a criminal matter. Has it been reported to the guards yet?" as your very first line in your very first post, without any additional details as to what law you felt was breached to require Garda intervention, I thought it was a ballsy move. I wanted to welcome this fella jumping straight in to deep end of the boards swimming pool.

    He needs to have a press conference and answer questions. If that's a ****show he will have to go.

    On the face of it, he may well have to do the perp walk. But if the gist of the story is true, I think his position as tanaiste and FG leader is untenable.

    Based on the Journals timeline of events that they just uploaded, he will have no need to walk.

    Gavan Reilly will be having a field day on Newstalk tomorrow so.

    Will be interesting to see if any mention is made on BoC on RTE at the same time,

    But who really gives a sht these days anyway, but we shall see I suppose.

    So did the NAGP agree this contract that was leaked? Did anyone benefit personally from it? Are the allegations more to do with procedure and breach of confidentiality?
    Is the taxpayer at a disadvantage as a result of what vardakar (and others?) did? Why is this coming out now? Will it be deflecting from some other sh*t show. These are the questions I want answered.

    Leo's goose is cooked it would seem, self inflicted and all.

    This tweet from young fine gael seems fairly ironic now.

    Schitt creek is exactly where Leo appears to be now, and he's no paddle.

    Who will be the next FG leader?
    It will be a female.
    The best candidate would be Mairead mc Guinness - she is highly respected and well liked in Brussels.

    Uschi would jump at the chance to install Mairead as the next Taoiseach


    Leo is toast

    Brendan is off this weekend. Damien O Reilly was in today. I wonder will they bring in someone more "heavyweight" for tomorrow

    It’s time to give SF the chance to govern in a coalition with FG

    it is time for Ireland to have its first female Taoiseach

    Nothing. The IMO made the agreement public a week before the events published in the village.

    Politicians rarely come home to domestic politics after entering the wild world of European politics.

    That's my first instinct as well, but then again I thought the same thing about Phil Hogan.

    Leo is found out here but was only a matter of time.

    Must be even more sickening when it was caused by a close friend.
    Will put strain on this Gov but pandemic will probably get them through it, Coveney next leader and Taoiseach in waiting.

    Lads, Varadkar (or any Govt member) for that matter, could behead a disabled child in their wheelchair in the middle of Grafton St at the moment and it wouldn't endanger the Government. Once Brexit is done and the back is broken of the pandemic, then maybe.

    In any case, the Village has effed this big time in the way they went about it. They thought they had Watergate and it turns out they didn't even have golfgate. An absolute disservice to small and independent journalism.

    Martin Schulz left the presidency of the European Parliament to run for the position as prime minister in Germany

    I did. New GP agreement was agreed on 3 April with the IMO (who represent 20% of GPs). Provided to the president of the NAGP (who represented 40% of GPs) shortly thereafter.

    It's perfectly logical that a new agreement for all GPs was given to the president of a body that represented 40% of GPs.

    Lots of opportunism going on here, don't think Leo will fall on the sword because of it.

    Coveney already failed a leadership campaign - he will not candidate again.

    Simon Harris would be the most popular choice.

    Mairead Mc Guinness would also be a very popular choice
