The same as every examiner article. “ according to sources at the meeting.”
In other words it a pile of bullsh*t written with no sources and just a headline to get the buzzy bees sharing online.
Between this and the “secret” meeting it really is the bottom of the barrel articles we are seeing now
At least teh examiner didn’t try to spin it as secret like the Mail as that was a disaster. The only comment of any reference
“Housing Minister Darragh O’Brien said that he was aware of the meeting and felt that it was not a rebel group, but rather a policy discussion”
Kind of blows apart the whole secret meeting soem people are trying to push 🤣🤣🤣
Will? Very definite. Don’t recall him saying we will. Could, now, I heard that. We could “adopt” areas.
Or “may”, even. Nothing as definite as will. All in the planning phase, an ideas shower, if you will.
so pick one then.
Kite flying.
Lying.
Jumping on a bandwagon.
A senior politician btw not some random. Why would he say such a thing if it's not True.
In fairness, given that two attendees are quoted directly, it doesn't take too much deep though to guess who the source probably was!
The Examiner is out to get them, in cahoots with the opposition? Cool story but should it not be in the conspiracy forum?
Virtue signalling yes, what more do you seriously think this government can possibly do for Ukraine, we're being bled dry.
Anyway that's for another thread we're there's lots of discussion on virtue signalling, but I'll repeat, he was doing nothing more than virtue signalling, an utterly pointless trip and in essence a publicity stunt to please EU Leadership.
Really funny to see so much expertise on journalism on this thread. :) Then again, it makes FF and therefore FFG, look bad. Can't be having that! A bunch of FFers shouting f*ck FG and f*ck SF. I suppose that those parties are in the ha'penny place given as how FF f*cked the country.

You got upset at my mentioning DCC while quoting my post regarding the mica money, which didn't mention DCC.
Yes, I think a one issue party will be a true protest vote, short lived and taking away from opposition votes.
Oddly wasn't it the examiner that broke that troublesome golfing event, certainly no Bias shown there, despite having 3 very high profile government TD'S, 2 ministers and Taoiseach from Cork, its own base , they dish out equal criticism to any and all when required, I'd wager, probably far less Biased than Dublin Based print media and certainly don't do embarrassing fluff profile pieces on favoured politicians.
Ireland already donates a large sum of money every year to other countries, something we have always done. Are you not aware?
Not sure why you are so upset some of this money could be used for the Ukraine
OFC I'm aware that some land locked country bought naval aircraft was it not with our aid. Next you will be telling us we donate to a country with a space program. Oh wait we do.
Nah the Examiner has identified a market and as I have always said fair play to them. Fact, detail and truth are something this market have no interest in.
Most of the people sharing their article don’t get past reading the headline
So if you are aware why are you complaining about helping Ukraine?
Sorry but your post above would suggest you are totally oblivious to ireland donating money overseas all the time
I'm all for helping out. I have to believe this is more about the C.V. for Europe, otherwise they wouldn't have overseen building national crises in their own country.
I hope they don't get a hospital or airport rail or water supply job, for the Ukrainians sake.
How much of the 750bn will be our cut ? We have No idea what we have spent yet we are already removing 3bn from the budget for next year.
You didn’t even understand Ireland donates millions overseas every year even if the Ukraine war wasn’t on …..
Get up the yard
PS you don’t seem to understand what racism is, baffling you think because they are “white Europeans” it’s not racism.
The bogus 'racism' card pulled again.
No you said that. Incidentally in 2020 we donated less than 900m Entirely. As stated we have no idea what it's already cost us and were removing a further 3bn from the budget. I assume we have not cut foreign aid either. if not why not. or at least direct it only to Ukraine. Services are already at breaking point. Where is the money coming from if not removed from our budget.
So do you agree it can’t be racist because they are “white Europeans”?
So you managed to find Google.
i will leave you with Google for the rest of the evening, I suggest you Google the word “racism” while you are at it.
Nah I'm fine, May surprise you that this Racist supports aid to Ukraine in fighting and defeating the Russians.
Racism would be leaving 150 black Syrian men 4 to a single room in kinnegad with no proper facilities or support for them while rushing through applications Ukranians have for pps numbers, houses etc as they are white
Great party, solid leadership. Strong vision, excellent execution and consistently delivering for the public.
Have voted Fine Gael all my life and will continue to do so. I have a feeling we may merge with Fianna Fáil to save the people for the uneducated terrorists Sinn Fein and their kinahan connections
Criticising a government is not racism
Clandestine meeting is how this sneaking FF meeting is being described on the Late Debate 😏
All your life? One has to be 18 years or older to vote. Even Michael Collins was only ever a member of SF and the current mob in FFG would consider him and those who fought for Irish freedom to be "terrorists".
Fairly standard comment to say "voted xyz all my life". Not sure why you have an issue with it?
Trying to link Michael Collins to the Provisional Sinn Fein is incorrect as well.
The Irish version of the '1922 Committee' as it was referred to on Drivetime. Things could get juicy in FF if the polls don't improve.
The racism on show here towards the Ukraine people is sickening
You'll be sure to point it out?
Or is this one of those times the mods/admins missed it but some plucky boardsies caught it but forgot to report it and can't quote it?
I can confirm this horrific story, only found out about it earlier this morning, what has occurred here is utterly appalling and outrageous and I've emailed a certain minister about it. If ignored, my next step will be a Verified Journalist I know well.
Absolutely no virtue signalling going on over this matter.
