Leo Varadkar story in The Village??? - Mod Notes and banned Users in OP updated 16/05

McMurphy · 02-05-2021 03:28PM

The Kate O'Connell development could be an interesting one, considering she backed Coveney over Leo, and Leo repayed that backing with the whole YFG minions pushing for the Murph vote.

When Murph got in at Kate's expense, she was probably expecting a seat in the Seanad, but Leo knived her there too.

She popped up on the telly there recently to tell us she thought Varadkar was in trouble when new emails emerged that showed he was economical with the truth surrounding certain aspects of the story.

If she's talking to the guards, she could possibly be grassing varadkar up as opposed to paying lip service to them, politics is a long road with plenty of turns, revenge being a dish best served cold is springing to mind here.

I hope Leo is touching cloth on this one.

Nah, they'll just remind ye of SF's and FG's election results 9 months prior in 2019 as a cautionary tale on protest vote dependency or declarations of what's going on based on one vote

Worst election result in 71 years for FG. Some "leader"! Rejected by the FG grassroots and installed by the FG politburo.

I think you're only displaying new irrelevant depths of petty there, but hey ho carry on, I wouldn't expect any different, given the likely outcome of this investigation and your hopes for it are vastly different
Unleesh that anger, pent up is no place for it
You won' t mind if I ignore the rest of it as it belches out

Self aggrandising stunts deserve to be pilloried. Leo is too fond of them.

Irrelevant

You are the poster trying to divert the thread topic to Leo administering vaccines in the helix, when the thread is literally about him abusing his position and leaking confidential information to his pal.

Nothing irrelevant about my post at all horse.

Yes...a FG aggrandising post from Marine there.

The best thing about Varadkar doing a genuinely decent thing and quietly vaccinating since the Helix opened in March, apart from the helping of our vaccine rollout of course, is how some people are so wound up about him that they are annoyed about it

So 'quiet' there are people posting about it on websites to big up Leo and take attention away from his travails with the law?

Yeh right.

Just waiting for the topless photos of him thrashing wheat, building roads, and on horseback...

Leo sets up token photo shoot = wow

Leo caught red handed giving confidential documents to vested interests = nothing to see here

You can't help yourself, gas

As I said, its the best thing about it. Apart from helping our vaccine rollout.

Seriously up on the bile meter now.

Guy is helping out and still gets shade .

Unfortunately that’s the kind of folk we are dealing with.

You can’t beat that kind bulldust, can we horse.

Very very questionable tactics.

Pintman Paddy Losty · 02-05-2021 05:01PM

The true colours on display now. Lads getting angry over Varadkar helping with the vaccine rollout on his Bank holiday Sunday. I'm sure its a lot more productive than the angry lads here are up to that's for sure.

If Leo does retire from politics it'll be his own decision. He's already left an excellent legacy and he will always be remembered as the inspirational Taoiseach who led the nation through the first part of the pandemic. Forever memorialized as a Churchill like figure in future episodes of reeling in the years. That's sure to piss off a few of the poster around here.

Who is getting angry? I'm wincing myself at it being used to deflect from Leo's trouble with the Old Bill.

I'm not sure they'll put that bit about commemorating the Tans into an episode of RITY.

It was a commemoration of the RIC, many families had Irish ancestors who served in the RIC and were killed in the war of independence.

If you genuinely believe this, or expect anyone else to, well.. I don't know anymore

Varadkar will be remembered as the man who had lots to say about everyone else's department, but who did very little in his own.

Who was more concerned with his personal profile and social media above all else and who promoted other similarly unqualified people in Murphy, McEntee, and Harris which we are all seeing the result of now.

Who cynically jumped on the referendum a few years back by coming out on national radio to boost his profile and leadership credentials, despite having completely the opposite view in the Dail a few years earlier.

Oh and not forgetting.. Who was the FG leader who cemented FF's return as a viable election prospect, and who then led them back into government because it was either that or let SF run things instead.

Yep, absolutely fantastic legacy. He managed to outdo his immediate predecessor in being the worst leader FG has had yet (which I'll grant him was no small achievement), and has left us with a fractured electorate, ever-worsening positions in health and housing and justice, and served to remind us of the most important fact...

...There's a very good reason why FG are never voted for based on merit or policy rather than as a protest vote - they always make things worse by the time they're done.

He's hardly expecting people with bitter opinions or the opposite on these trip advisor vradakar or SF hotel threads to change their minds
People either enjoyed their stay or didn't
The vast majority of holiday makers.in the middle couldn't care less about the extreme reviews
Yours and Paddy's are just examples of both ends of the spectrum

The Black and Tans were members of the RIC. The fact that the Black and Tans/RIC commemoration was allowed to proceed is a tribute to Varadkar's poor political judgement and weakness as a leader of FG just as his leaking is conduct unbecoming of an FG leader let alone a taoiseach. But this is a thread about Varadkar leaking a confidential document to his friend and the fact that he is now under criminal investigation. His actions have damaged FG and he is quickly running out of political allies.

I hope Leo wasn't being sexist there by backing a person that had already told him that he had no real interest in going forward anymore and didn't want to be appointed a TD before the campaign. Leo not only backed him with the YFG minions, he pretty much made him run. He (Murphy) wanted a breather and wanted the new TD's to get a chance to prove themselves etc.. Has done nothing since. WhyTF run? WhyTF would Leo back him more than her (he had implied he had enough for now, he didn't want to be a minister again)

"What I had said to Leo before he even thought about appointments..." "I would like to step back from Government, from politics"

I can't imagine why a leader would push that guy more than somebody else in the same constituency, even if he had not liked her previous backing. It could be construed as sexist.

Post it in the correct thread. The 'other news' thread would probably be best suited for it. Nothing to do with this one.

Just to add, he will also be remembered as the person who used the office of the Taoiseach and official paper to write to Kylie Minogue and tell her he is a huge fan etc..
Can't imagine that won't make 'reeling in the years' in time to come..

Ler me get this straight,you are accusing Vradakar of being sexist because he'ordered' young FG to canvass an area for Eoghan Murphy?
Where is your evidence for this new allegation(other than the ramblings of mcmurphy)?

Post it in the correct thread. The 'other news' thread would probably be best suited for it. Nothing to do with this one.

If thats the case what has your unsubstantiated ramblings about sexism got to do with this thread or has it been renamed the 'bash leo thread' ?

Can't imagine that won't make 'reeling in the years' in time to come..

we'll know shortly,they're doing the 2010's at the moment on sunday nights,not that anyone cares
The simple fact is,we have 2 more years of him as Taoiseach to run,which is 3 years more than some here predicted when Kenny stepped down
Not bad going,little wonder the haters are scrambling for their hate buckets and negativity,its a mentally unhealthy obsession in my opinion

Id say Leo will be making dam sure that Kate o'Connell isnt within an asses roar of that by election ticket. He already shafted her in the last election during the campaign by absolutely flooding Ranelagh night after night with the Young Fine Gael army all with their 'Team Eoghan Murphy' orange rainjackets on. I saw 30-40 of them meeting at the Triangle at 6pm every evening. The younger lads had snot on their schooljumpers and the older lads all looked like Penfold out of Danger Mouse. My mate commented that he's never seen such a bunch of sad sacks all in the one place at the one time. They spent weeks wrecking the heads of Ranelagh residents to get them to vote for an incompetent Murphy over O'Connell, it worked too as he retained his seat and she lost hers.

The Fine Gael choir boys got both their supper and their revenge on O'Connell. In doing so they ousted one of Fine Gaels better performers from politics and literally engineered the re-election of one of the most incompetent Ministers every seen in this state. It says it all about the Fine Gael party really, they readily embrace mediocrity and actively fight for it.

Lovely description of some of our young people in this country.

All behind the comfort of a keyboard too.

Bravo sir.
