    He was interviewed about it there by Cormac on Drivetime.

    Told by his solicitors to keep schtum about it. Wouldn't say whether he has his phone back or not.

    Only after announcing to the national media that he would be charged. That's called prejudice.

    Check out the George Floyd case where the judge said that comments by a congress woman may have caused a mistrial.

    He knew what he was doing. God love those that repeat the axiom.

    Maybe the poster that breathlessly told us about last Sunday's story in his/her 1st post on the site will be back with news Maryanne?

    That poster wasn't far off the mark in hindsight, unless of course anyone would want to dismiss the Tánaiste of the state being questioned under caution, and having their phone seized as it has to be forensically examined because of their actions as Taoiseach as a nothing story.

    I'd say it's unprecedented though.

    Law and order party my ass.

    Agree, but I think the reason that poster posted was to get people salivating about the prospect of Leo doing jailtime or resigning as they elaborated in their second post. They were disappointed. Two posts and disappeared.

    I dunno, I didn't even see the posts until he/she had already closed the account, hard to know if it was a WUM or a shill for whatever newspaper they claimed to work for.

    More details about what was about to break would have possibly tipped me in a certain direction I suppose, as now we'll never know if they were genuine or a WUM who just got extremely lucky with their vague "revelation's"

    Be great if they reappeared today with more titbits lol.:D

    It’s a beautiful day outside so don’t be ruminating and spitballing about it.

    We need Leo back in Martins job - one of the greatest leaders this country has ever had.

    Older people won't particularly understand him.

    Sure himself and Micheal are virtually joint Taoiseachs. I hear more from Leo than Michael on the news everyday.

    Didn't Michael himself call Leo Taoiseach last November not once but twice if I'm not mistaken.

    I have no idea if there will be. I was referring to the fact that certain FG sites were pulled down and the DPC will be talking to them about that.

    This story appears to have broken WiFi Paddy. He has resorted to homophobic dog whistles. Even some of his pirate flag crew are getting sick of him.

    The veil always slips. You can tell the ones who are most rabid in their pursuit of Varadkar have alternative motives. It's as plain as day to see.

    The Sindo is running a story about Kate O'Connell being interviewed about Varadkar leaking a confidential document to his friend. Anyone know what that's about as the story isn't up on the website yet?

    They'll be here en masse shortly to tell us all it's a nothing story.
    Wasn't Kate O'Connell letting it be known that she was getting fed up with Leo last month or so?
    I doubt it would be anything much on page 3..

    She didn't seem pleased with the mess Varadkar has made of FG and she was a Coveney supporter. She's also a possible candidate for Dublin Bay South (Eoghan Murphy was Varadkar's leadership campaign manager).

    According to the first paragraph, Bernard Durkan is also going to give a sworn statement.

    "Former Fine Gael TD Kate O’Connell has been interviewed by gardaí as a witness in the Leo Varadkar leaked document investigation, while party colleague and TD Bernard Durkan is due to meet officers this week to provide a sworn statement."

    Whole lotta effort to go to when they’ve already decided the document wasn’t confidential...

    I’m looking forward to the “Gardai Overtime Scandal” thread

    The Sindo or the Gardai?

    The Examiner also had an article on how Varadkar's allies in FG are getting out of politics.

    Just ordinary witness statements, doubtless backing up the government's version of events
    If this was not being conducted as thoroughly as it is, given it involves the top branch of government, there'd be reason to question its veracity :)

    Shock, horror. Leo’s phone wasn’t seized after all. He simply handed it over!

    Don't think that the phone was given back to Varadkar either when he asked.
