Well he was supporting a policy to close thousands of businesses & suddenly it all became about him.

All I'm doing is asking questions regarding progress made in identifying the perpretrator?

A crime was committed. It was caught on camera.
It should be very straightforward to identify who these people are.

So what progress has been made?

If it looks as if it has been swept under the carpet then to whose benefit is that?

It is not even 24 hours yet, there is no sweeping under the carpet it sounds like Gardai are taking this very seriously this is the latest:

“She also had a smoothie which ended up all over my face and halfway down my suit but look I had a spare suit and I just got on with the day’s work.

“I haven’t spoken to the Gardai yet but I believe they want to speak with me but that will be next week.”

The Tanaiste also clarified that he has a Garda driver but no security detail and claimed: “I don’t think one incident would justify that.”

The Irish Sun can reveal a Detective Inspector from Pearse Street Garda Station has now been appointed under the command of Supt Joseph Gannon to investigate the incident.

STATEMENT
Gardai are also expected to take a statement off the film crew over the weekend.

Following the attack, gardai searched for the masked woman in the city centre.

Officers have also urged the person who recorded the video to come forward.

As part of their probe, officers are also trawling through CCTV cameras from the area in order to track the woman’s movements.

'COWARDLY ATTACK'
A source told the Irish Sun: “This was a cowardly attack and the best thing this person could do is come forward before the Gardai call to their door.

"No one deserves to be subjected to this type of behaviour no matter who they are.”

The attack caused outrage when it emerged online yesterday.

Former Fine Gael TD Noel Rock said: “Jesus, this is a poxy thing to do, regardless of your political view.”

You have yet to answer what political gain has Varadkar from this?

Highly unlikely a scumbag with no money did it.

I can't imagine there are too many that hang around merrion square with a skateboard and wear facemasks.

Turns out it wasn't even leo varadkar at all. It was his body double who regularly stands in for Leo when he isnt available.

Leo was playing in a volleyball tournament in Cyprus

Varadkar has zero to gain, absolutely nothing politically or personally.

The state has plenty to gain though.

Her arrest and conviction should be sought. Like him, dislike him (i dislike him)... he is still an elected representative, in a democracy doing a job. He works for US.

We need elected representatives, accessible and accountable to the public, for the public... that can’t happen if they are under threat or worse.

What she threw at him was a harmless liquid. Had it been acid ? Had she had a weapon ? If Leo couldn’t continue as an elected representative, as Tanaiste a bye-election needed to be called ?

Of course none of that happened, it’s all hypothetical but it plainly could have happened as there wasn’t a security deterrent to prevent it, or as many as a single Garda to expeditiously apprehend her in the aftermath of the assault on the Tanaiste.

Haven't read the whole thread so apologies if someone else has posted this but comparing Leo with Ahern and Haughey is ludicrous. Those two chancers were paid employees by big business men. Bertie says he didn't have a bank account back after his divorce and kept all his money in cash at home, who on earth believes that??

Ahern only did that because he's too thick to go the paid-speech-circuit and board-position route to corrupt after-office payouts - like virtually all politicians that enter government do nowadays - and which Leo almost certainly will.

Running the country into the ground by utilizing a gigantic fraudulent bubble, and enriching himself personally from that, isn't genius. Despite credit where it's due (alongside the war criminal Blair) with the GFA.

Fraudsters deserve the highest penalty of all - what he did was treason (enriching himself and others at the whole countries expense) - which if the death sentence weren't abhorrent for many good reasons, would be well deserved.

And I was left on the streets.

How am I responsible for that? I did everything right.

Ireland is a country that mocks the hard-working working poor, exactly like you are mocking me. Making it out as if it is my fault. I did everything right.

That happened to a lot of people. I finished my PhD just as a global recession kicked in and postdocs were rarer than hens teeth. It was really tough for me and a lot of my peers.

It still doesn't justify throwing liquid over a politician though. And I'm not entirely certain what it was supposed to achieve anyway, beyond looking for online edgelord points.

Yesterday a random loonie murdered a smoothie in a hit and run with Leo. Leo was unhurt though slightly damp. The perpertrator is still at large and considered mental. I repeat mental.

I condemn the housing crisis. I wish government would stop facilitating county councils buying up houses and handing them to people who dont contribute to the economy.

This leaves a smaller pool of housing available for people who work and save and want to move out of the rental sector and on with the next stage of their lives. Plus they will have an asset as they move towards retirement.

Discussion of political topics on Boards has taken an odd turn in recent years - but it's become utterly braindead lately.

It's like the people who rabidly support NeoLiberal FG-style right wing economic policy, never expected any blowback or reaction from the population - and are now surprised at what they're faced with: A full blown fascist reaction to it - with barely any left-leaning opposition in sight.

Well done, guys. That's what we have to look forward to.

This is, after all, the public doctor who was advising against wearing masks as late as June. . . . Is he still even doing the shift a week for the HSE (which was answering phones at home rather than on a COVID ward) or is that gone by the wayside?

My past comment is irrelevant.

They are seriously right wing. Don’t confuse a couple of tactical populist alignments as regards being anyway left.

How many full time employees are on a wage of 18000 euros in Ireland ? 0 at least in theory... that’s how many, because the minimum wage for full time employees is 20,483.

I can find zero info of any 3% tax rate.

Gay marriage ? No became yes when they had a gay leader. They were anti abortion until about 20 years ago, vehemently so. If they didn’t moderate their rhetoric they were in danger of being swept away into oblivion.... they were absolutely a failure with these ideologies under Noonan and co... and man more backwards they should have give him a middle name of ‘reverse’ ....

Lets be honest , that haircut and style of glasses overweight, skateboard, during the working week when people should be working. Attacking a centrist politician that the hard left consider ‘right wing’

Preposterous to suggest Fine Gael are a right wing party. Seriously, it's just silly.

Pro-immigration, pro-EU, pro-abortion, pro-LGBT. No doubt the left would love nothing more than some big bad authoritarian bogeyman to rail against. Instead, what they get here is Varadkar - a brown, gay son of an immigrant.

Probably why the perpetually whinging mob latch onto and import toxic and divisive US identity politics. They've little to really irk them in domestic politics, such is the predomination of centre-left policy and thinking.

Apart from it being totally stupid to begin with, it would seem that the smoothie splashing was also completely pointless, even from the point of view of the girl that threw it, as nobody has an iota why.
What her beliefs are, if she was antifa, socialist, anti-lockdown, an opportunistic point seeker, or if she had any agenda at all.
If she was protesting anything, it has been lost.

Anti maskers are usually mask less, she was I suspect one of the shouty PBP crew who live in a world where everything should be done for everyone and there is no cost associated with anything.

Berties World was built on bubble and tax cuts, but yes it was the pesky Financial Crash that collapsed everything, the economy was sound. Of course it was.

Bertie tinted glasses much?

You might want to revise your history, there was a thing called The Sunningdale Agreement in the 1970's and the Anglo Irish Agreement in the 1980's that had nothing to do with FF.
