    I've voted independent, ff, Labour, and FG last 2 elections. Never again, and I hate that there's not one party I can look in thr eye and trust not be act the complete bollix. the fact that Leo will get away with clear cronyism, something that if I did it, I'd be removed from my role by the end of the week and wouldn't even question it,makes my blood boil.

    Our political caste is a ****ing disgrace.

    That has to be more out there.

    On this story?
    Possibly not?

    But there's another story coming down the line which will finish him off.

    Am I misremembering, but did leo say he deleted text messages and that's the reason he couldn't give an exact date of when document was sent?
    How did no one follow up with that?

    He said that

    Varadkar will be removed at the first chance FG have

    Won’t be sad to see him go

    “Too clever by half” as the saying goes

    Insincere, fake, ego maniac

    Catherine Connolly started well, but she's gone off script now.

    The Pearse Doherty one, about O'Toole trying to get a copy from Harris in early April, being refused, and then getting it from Varadkar was the only real blow struck, if that can be made to stick then there could be trouble. Otherwise he has disgracefully got away with it imo unless Village have something else

    I think Varadkar is just a bit stupid more than anything else.

    The failure of coordination with Labour and SD over that zinger was an amazing oversight. Unforgivable.

    Leo will be breathing a sigh of relief I think.

    Varadkar has ALWAYS been insincere, glib, shallow, false

    Obsessed with popularity

    Full of sh1te,

    constantly spinning,

    Bitchy as it gets

    delighted to knife colleagues

    And now all the politicians can go back to leaking strategic documents like they've always done since the State was founded. It's part and parcel of realpolitik.

    Complete non-story. Lot of lads seemed to 'blow the beans' too soon around here. Thought they smelled blood. There was a reason this wasn't picked up by a major newspaper, but instead was published in a magazine that has the circulation of a parish newsletter.

    Don't worry lads. Senior hurling is hard.

    I think they failed to get to the heart of the issue, which I'm still not sure of the answer to....was he allowed to leak that document?

    That's all that matters to me

    Since there is nothing illegal I can’t see that happening.
    Most leak to some extent. That’s the problem.

    There's more in this. Direct Provision set ups will be a massive scandal at some point.
