Katherine Zappone Envoy Gig

Can Ailbhe not make up a job of her own? Feck sake like.

Oh, well, if its trending on Twitter, lets have a General Election immediately!

We'll see, Leo & AG will be praying, there's no shenanigans in terms of breaking Guidelines over the weekend, I fear Marquee Sales/Rentals will surge in the coming days, if there's any surge in new case numbers, there'll be serious questions needing answers, the greatest immediate fear as mentioned in various media outlets is a free for all as a result of this fiasco. Bad enough the attempted appointment, now as a result of covering ass"s, there could be far reaching and serious consequences.

Hopefully this Zappogate affair has ruined Coveneys chance of ever leading FG, something good may come out of this

It wont go anywhere till Leo grows a set of balls and faces questions. Hes a coward

They are hoping its going away but the younger journalists like Aoife Moore are not going to drop this and they have said as much.

And they have now offered a free for all to celebrate anything and everything in a Marquee with 200 people . They very thing that NPHET want to avoid

'Cover up'?

She did her work and has tweeted that no members of RTE were there according to her investigations.

Do you know different or is this some scurrilous insinuation?

Seán Kyne stumbling his way through on Prime Time.

Matt Carthy laying into them, rightfully so of course, but I do cringe when he talks about nobody in politics having credibility about advising people, I don't think he's actually being truly honest and including SF in that. They haven't covered themselves in glory either.

Leo's silence is fairly telling. The whole story stinks tbh. Firstly because of the purpose of the "event" and then the cushy number that was landed because of it. All that is pretty bad, but then there's the whole mess of the argument that hey it was legal so quit your crying about it, when clearly there was at least an understanding that this kind of craic wasn't within the guidelines - at least that's what the industry was at least allowed to believe.

The AG being mobilised at a moments notice to retrospectively give Leo some legal cover absolutely reeks of pure dodgyness.

Absolutely, I sense a few particular type of weddings happening over the coming days

Matt McCarthy is a cretin at the best of times, but this recent display is reaching even for him.

Him and Brian Stanley's attempt to turn the PAC into a private SF kangaroo Court was as clumsy as it was transparent. Its a pity it wasn't pushed to a vote of the membership to meet, those fools wouldn't even have got a quorum.

Zappone, like a 5th column, putting the boot into FG, she disgusts me, but I suppose this has highlighted what many know of how Leo , Coveny and FG in general operate. thank you Zappone.

O, the Bitterness, it's shocking. If FG leadership insist on hiding like cowardly children, of course opposition parties will question what's going on.

You continue to bring entirely irrelevant matters into this story, it's silly and not washing with objective observers of this utterly disgraceful sequence of events. The sooner you understand, every type of voter, FG, FF, SF, SD, Independents & Labour are disgusted at what has happened, are you Not or is it just business as usual nothing to see here mantra if you support FG, very, very troubling & Tiresome.
