Anyone hear Brophy earlier?

Apparently he was diabolical just kept repeating the same spiel over and over again.

Gerry Hutch would do the same when being questioned by the Gardaí.
Just stare at the wall and repeat the same thing over and over.
FG probably use the same solicitors and tactics.

I can see why.

Sure Leo and Simon Harris retweet anonymous accounts constantly.

It’s one thing posting a tweet from Richard Chambers, but a tweet from some randomer is not news.

And to the other person who said he’d be challenged for links, the tweet had a photo of the article that we’ve been discussing the last two days. The article itself is the source for saying Varadkar knew it was coming. No need for a tweet to make the point

Muahahaha

I must say I find it funny how FGers on here dont understand Twitter, dont know how to use it and are actually scared of it. Meanwhile the rest of the world uses it day in day out. Maybe they should contact this guy in YFG and ask him for lessons on how to use it.

God Bless your innocence, Macca. Do you really believe ALL that you read on Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Boards, etc?

Ah here, at first I thought you were being naive, now you're just being intentionally dumb.

Go away.

Twitter doesn't "write" the stuff you believe or don't believe Maryanne, that's like saying you don't believe notepads and jotters.

Now, repeat after me.....

Twitter - is - a - platform - for - users - to - interact - with - each - other.

The Fine Gael party have a Twitter account FFS.

I was responding to the idea that Twitter is unreliable-fullstop.

It is no more unreliable as a newspaper or somebody on the telly or radio. You need to use your brain with any media.

Constantly reacting the way Maryanne or blanch does to 'Twitter' is spamming the thread too.

Yeh...dodgy Maryanne, very dodgy.

You are becoming like a parody.

Lads and lassies, twitter has long been a recognised source of news for almost a decade now (possibly more?)

Have a look over on some of the Brexit related threads in the main politics forum, and you will see a fairly hefty percentage (a majority probably) are twitter links from various sources.

Look it, I know Leo is in a spot of serious hot water here, but moaning about people posting links that from twitter that are directly related to the thread title is unbecoming.

Don't like the news so try and shoot the messenger.

Also...

I would not buy a ticket for that draw.

*Unless Leo couriered to me, the winning ticket in advance of the actual draw that is.

Not so. He sent it to a pal who was high up in that organisation before the health minister or any opposition or other group saw it. Thats the issue. Thats the problem for him.
Even LV's excuse says it was only partially available, which nobody has confirmed all stating they hadn't seen any of it.
Get your facts right or in the least be an apologist for what LV actually claims.

An independent opposition TD in the Dail had seen it because he was a member of the IMO. I’m guessing you mean health spokespeople of opposition parties, rather than the health minister

The health minister hadn't seen the agreement?
Are you sure about that?

Why are you spamming the thread with Twitter posts? Could you not just say, “Varadkar was asked for comment and didn’t respond, he knew this was coming”? Save the rest of us scrolling through crap.

On the other Twitter lost above quoting Donnelly in the Dail, he was complaint that GPs hadn’t seen the deal, Varadkar gave the deal to an organisation with 1200 GPs as members, so it looks like he was ahead of Donnelly there.

It's a link. If he just said LV was asked for a comment the next post would be; 'any links? '

Have to agree with you there Tee.

This business of spamming the thread with Twitter lifts is getting quite tiresome.

If we all took that tactic, I’m sure the management of the site would quite rightly get concerned.

Hopefully an end will be put to the abuse of this practice.

Has anyone rang Big Phil Hogan for comment on Leos leaking? Maybe give Maria Bailey a shout there too :pac:

I'm betting this is the end of Leo.

Cannot wait to see what plays out in the Dail next week.
