Katherine Zappone Envoy Gig

Indeed and only because they are so appalling, FFG&G would be terrified of a GE.

If he gets that far.

Any sign of Coveney filling this most important position of Irelands UN Envoy for Freedom of Expression?

Thought not.

Are you being serious or taking the P , Carthy and Mc Donald have nothing to learn, Carthy in particular achieved exactly what he set out do do, We await Simon Harris's "Serious ' considerations which started 4 days ago 🤣

As for Mary Lou'' Timid sanction, again she achieved exactly what she set out to do, Name Names and if I recall had not even a second of regret.

Only to be proscribed with an adult, a clued in adult.

Anyhoo,we all look forward to Katherine releasing all her texts and emails comms etc from Simon and friends and going in front of the Dail commitee so they can completely clear Simon and friends and put all this shoddy shameful affair behind us.

IT IS THIS SIMPLE,help your friends good name Katherine and be of "further service to ireland",because we all know you or Simon have nothing to hide Katherine and you want to help him,RIGHT.......Katherine?.....Katherine......? K A T H ERINE???

Doubt we will be hearing anything from Zappone except maybe to say that this whole situation has affected her mental health or some such BS and she won't be able to attend. The usual excuse when folks like this are caught pulling a stroke.

Not sure how you're imagining things I never even posted, I havent mentioned Matt Carthy in any of my posts yet you're claiming Im defending him, bizarre stuff.

As for the journalist, he got a leak direct from Simon Harris in a cabinet meeting and he reported the Zapponyism as Harris wanted him to do. Are you claiming how that this whole story that this thread is based upon isnt true or something. This seems to be what you're aiming at, its even more bizarre given its been discussed on here and right across the Irish media for weeks now. The journalist was right in his reporting and if he says it was leaked from Cabinet there is no reason to doubt him when what he reported on Zappone was 100% on the money. You might not like it but as Hugh o'Connell said during the week leaks are bread and butter for political journalists, if you dont believe it goes on then you're being unbelievably naïve here.

The story of Harris being the leaker and Varadkar hauling him into a meeting to openly accuse him was an open secret around Leinster House. It wasnt just one journalist who reported it, it was several. One in the Sunday Times, Philip Ryan in the Indo and Daniel McConnell in the Examiner. So by questioning the integrity of these political correspondents who spend their working days inside Leinster House you're really just going down the Donald Trump 'Fake News' route and we all know how much credibility that has. If that story wasnt true then why would either Varadkar or Harris allow damaging lies to be published about them and not speak up? They both said nothing becasue they both knew how true it was, simple as.

Tell us then blanch if (as you are claiming) it wasnt Simon Harris then who was it? The Zappone leak didnt happen in a vacuum so if you're on here claiming that it wasnt Harris then who do you actually think it was? Varadkar himself? Suppose he does have form for leaking but you'd think a leaker under an open criminal investigation would at least try to keep their nose clean. Given it wasnt Coveney leaking on himself then that leaves either Heather Humphries or Paschal o'Donohue.

Thank God Zoom was invented.

Meanwhile MM heading off to NY for a few days R&R,god bless his cotton socks. he certainly needs a break, He's due to chair a meeting were I presume he might at least try an attempt at coherent messaging.

I wonder is Coveney joining him on the trip, that would make for an interesting conversation, I wonder will Zappone have MM over for Tea & Crumpets whilst he's in NY 😏
