Paul Murphy mostly has rhetoric.

He had power to authorise its release because of who he was

Essentially, yes, that has been the big hole in the Village story from the very start.

I'm really confused, there's one particular photo of Leo & Maitiú Ó Tuathail at a Dublin pride event, now maybe I'm missing something, but having arms around each others waists suggests they were close friend's, either that are they were trying to pick pocket one another

That doesn't mean anything.

You're suggesting people only have arms around eachother if they're great friends?

I've had my arms around complete strangers at many parties through the years!!

"He's a friend, not a close friend"

Ah f**k off.

Wombatman · 03-11-2020 07:36PM

I have lots of GP friends.

Foreplay to you, it's certainly not something I'd do or anyone I know for that matter

I think he’s doing alright here explaining himself, he might actually survive.

Boyd barret a waste of time

Truthvader · 03-11-2020 07:37PM

And now Boyd Barrett, surely we are at the bottom of the barrell now.

I was expecting more from the Social Democrats here. She has nothing.

Appears little coordination between the opposition. The question of going behind Simon's back seems the important thread to pull, but they're not going for it.

Her questions were terrible.

It was a confidential document I gave on a confidential basis

Allinall · 03-11-2020 07:39PM

I wonder how the Garda investigation is going.

I’d say the file is closed and a good chuckle is being had.

Don’t think the DPP needs to worry about this one.

Foreplay to you? Freudian slip?

James Brown · 03-11-2020 07:40PM

Leo released confidential information to his pal. Why? We do not know.
He gave one group/his pal confidential information regarding negotiations, not yet published. There is nothing to debate IMO, just LV trying to justify it.

I wasn't expecting him to get any kind of scolding from FF/Greens. His character is known. It's out in public for the public to decide. He's been damaged goods since he was a minister. FG would be best served by letting him fade away, but with Leo's ego and big mouth, it's unlikely.

thecomedian · 03-11-2020 07:40PM

So because he was Taoiseach he could leak the document without facing criminal charges?

Sweet Caroline on the dancefloor always did it!!

Can anyone tell me will this be investigated? I want to know did anyone benefit personally? Is the taxpayer on the hook for this? (I know GPS did not have a good agreement in the past). I don’t care if it appropriate or not best practice. I do care if there was unfair financial gain for someone or some group.

03-11-2020 07:42PM

Now we pull the Harris string

Absolutely nothing happened as a result of this.

Peter Flynt · 03-11-2020 07:42PM

Varadkar says the negotiations concluded on 3rd April and it was brought to cabinet on the 9th April.

But O'Tuathail received this document on 5th April, did he not?

Did O'Tuathail receive this document before other cabinet ministers and Varadkar claims it was already in the public domain?

Dempo1 · 03-11-2020 07:43PM

I sense Leo has burned a few bridges tonight, I sense a spot of additional leaks tomorrow. I reckon Harris livid

IAMAMORON · 03-11-2020 07:43PM

Non story.

In fairness to the Taoiseach he handled then like a champ.

EDIT

sorry I meant to say Tánaiste.

Good man Leo.

FourFourRED · 03-11-2020 07:44PM

Harris is itching for an opportunity to remind people to wash their hands!

You were to going to say that no matter what happened.
