Katherine Zappone Envoy Gig

You'd have to really wonder does Leo actually stop to think, there's no doubt he signed off on this tripe ,yet again proving how out of touch he is, hope Gift Grub do a skit on this whinging, pathetic letter.

O dear God, nearly chocked on my dinner "Picking a Winner" 🤣🤣🤣

More proof he was speaking out of his arse.

Lol, I was actually discussing the very subject of the pot calling the kettle black, earlier on today 😅

OMG, don't encourage them 😭😫

You'd have to wonder what grass roots membership (honestly) thinks about Leo and his antics, I can see to a certain extent (small) his appeal years ago but my god he's been an arrogant clown for quite some time.

I just don't get it

I see Bertie also out stirring things for FF Grass roots this morning 🙄

I didn't think this lad had much political capital in the first place but whatever he did have, is well and truly burned up now.

"IT IS A BIG, MASSIVE NOTHING BURGER!"

"It is a nothing patty, in-between two baps of toasted nothing. Believe me, I know my burgers"

It is extraordinarily pathetic, its clear Barrett through Varadkar is hinting prejudice is at the heart of the infamous photo, a greater pile of Gik , I've rarely come across (apart from ......👀👀👀 🙄)

I only learned tonight, the lady who posted the photo (well done her) has put her twitter account on private and apparently gone into hiding.

There's clearly no end to Varadkars shameful deflection tactics, it's just beggars belief. Both he and his partner clearly clueless about public sentiment. Bad enough he stuck his two fingers up to the Irish entertainment industry, Bad enough he was caught picking his nose in public (not the first time I might add) but now getting his partner to pen such pathetic garbage is just mind boggling.

Christ his cabinet colleague's must be cringing, I'd say as hard as it is to believe, even Coveney must be mortified at this stage.

Night all 😏

One thing we do know it would have been involved is Zappone swanning around Manhattan with unvouched expenses and a credit card sponsoerd by the Irish taxpayer. No doubt she would have bashed the sh1t out of that credit card to bring any number of UN employees and diplomats out to Michelin starred restaurants to wine and dine them and brown nose her way into her next job. We would have all paid for that handsomely and FG didnt bat an eyelid to the scam that was going down, in fact they were setting it up.

Zappone had already proved herself untrustworthy by claiming extra travel expenses when she lied to SIPO about the most straighforward travel route to Dail Eireann, Her house in Brittas, Co.Dublin was 500 metres away from the N81 which is a national primary route into Dublin city centre but Zappone claimed it was not the most direct route. The only other direct route was the N7, also a national primary route into the city centre but even that route was two kilometres under the 25 kilometre threshold.

So Zappone literally went and found a route that actually drove away from County Dublin and into County Wicklow before going back into County Dublin towards the Dail all so that she could justify dipping the Irish taxpayer for an extra 80,000 euros of travel expenses that she was not entitled to. If she did that in the UK she would be in police handcuffs, they threw Tory peer Lord Taylor into prison in 2012 for fiddling 11k worth of expenses.

Whereas here FG knew all about Zappones fiddle and were trying to set her up for yet another scam on the taxpayer except this time they were giving her a free credit card in New York. Had this gone ahead she could have easily clocked a million quid on that credit card all while brown nosing whoever she wanted to as Irelands makey uppey UN envoy, of that I have no doubt. Shame on Fine Gael for even attempting to set this scam up, the absolute cheek of them.

Varadkars approval rating in the Sunday Times opinion poll has taken quite a hit over his behaviour attending that festival in London. Even Labours Alan Kelly is now more popular than Varadkar.

I cant wait for next Sundays edition where Matt Barrett writes in a letter complaining about opinion polls 👍️

Gosh, a little quiter last night 😁 a spot of licking of wounds I suspect.

What's all this about🤔 more deflection, not necessarily topic related but the timing quite curious as to is Dr Maitiú Ó Tuathail being described as a "Friend" of Leo's 🤔

With friends like Leo, who needs enemies.

I'm sure Leo & Barrett up all night already drafting their next "Woe always us Letter" 😏

+1

When you look at it that she actually gave a route that would take her away from the Dail to claim and steal that amount of the tax payer you would have to say it is criminal and she should have been in handcuffs

Ivor Callely went to jail for falsifying expenses for trivial amounts compared to this scam
