Katherine Zappone Envoy Gig

I think the people gave its response to the notion of Oireachtas led inquiries in the rejection of the 30th Amendment in 2011, for unregulated, politicised kangaroo courts is precisely what they can become and I'm sure Dr Zappone was mindful of the outcome of proceedings in recent years of Angela Kerins v the PAC, when the Committee was found to have acted unlawfully and outside of its powers in such a way to have damaged the reputation of Ms Kerins, personally and professionally.

Whatever, it was all the same chatter.

Cormac ÓHeadhra just ask Paul Cunningham, the RTÉ Pol Corr, on Drivetime, what the sense is among the Pol Corrs after Zappone's declination.

His response a simple, 'it ends and it ends here'. So don't take my word for it.

It's ends as in Zappone’s contribution (this was not only anticipated but predictable), if your referring to the matter as a whole ending there, I'd wager it certainly has not .

I'd agree with your post except insofar as you refer to this as an important position. It was dreamt up either to make us look good or just to keep her quiet. A pity Coveney didn't say that Day 1.

She really was all set to rinse the Country for the last drop she could extract and shame on those who were willing to facilitate her because her game was obvious.

"I respectfully decline". She has engraved that on the tombstone of her public life. She has stuck two fingers up at the Irish people who took her in when no one in her homeland took her seriously. We should respectively decline to send her various pensions over to America. Fortunately for her we have class she will never possess for all her pretences.

I suspect you , others , FG etc thought this was all over after last Wednesdays no confidence debacle, we're still waiting for Harris's rather drawn out "Serious Consideration ',

We've the FA committee continuing its work, due to hear from SG of the Dept of Taoiseach shortly and let's not forget there's at least 6 TD 's who've direct knowledge of the absurd sting operation , There's also the potential FOI breaches and also let's not forget the Leakage infliction that plagues certain FG members and finally I've no doubt there's more information to come out infact I'm pretty sure something is causing Harris to thread very carefully re his complaint about his stellar reputation been slighted .

She owes here entire political career to them, she might not be an official member, but she's definitely got some connection with them. Nominated to the Senate by FG, appointed minister (first time elected) by FG, bending over backwards to get her into a crony position so she can milk the tax payer a little bit more, by FG and God knows what else by FG.

She is also arrogant, disrespectful and has a few other traits, like FG.

Do you have a habit of going into all of the Current Affairs threads and claiming said story/thread is well over as twitter isn't talking about it?

If so, how is that going for you, or if not, why this one?

Looks like not everyone was singing from the same hymn sheet, they even had their own nickname for her'' Princess Pushy'' image that.

Just Hillarious, enjoyed that read over breakfast, 😁

Princess pushy, Angela Lansbury (murder she wrote) type, interfering 😂😂

I reckon if Katherine had of seen this Article, she'd have swam the Atlantic ocean to appear in front of the FA committee, perhaps she might have a change of heart on hearing about it😁

Shocking isn't it 😬 for a nothing burger of a story its still featuring prominently 😏
