That's a new one.

It's really not. I've stated it multiple times about that subhuman.

Leo needs to make a statement very soon.

This is getting away from him.

I heard on radio he's making one later today

I'm afraid this one isn't going to be the big explosive exposé that the conspiracy theorists want. A good statement this afternoon and then get back to the important work of fighting Coronavirus. Will be forgotten by next week.

Exact same terminology used within hours of the Maria Bailey controversy breaking. Wonder how that turned out, despite your repeated efforts at dismissal.

Anyone know what journalist wrote the article?

Seán Ó Woodward and Tomás Ó Bernstein

Why would possibly give an ounce of shįte who wrote it if it is such a nonsense and will be forgotten about next week, so yourself and your FG pals can head off on a 24 hour binge like smear campaign?

All I know from my career as an armchair political anorak, when these things break at the weekend, if you're still explaining on Monday you're in trouble.

Maybe he'll issue the statement on the radio with an RTE broadcaster, that'll clear it up for sure Paddy.

Lot of anger in this thread, and plenty of projection as well. Complete non-story. Sorry folks.

Wouldn't be one bit surprised if this is true, he's dishonest enough and unintelligent enough to do something like this. Interesting to see if anything comes of it.

Seriously why would RTE cover it when it's only broke and there is no details?

He hasn't even spoke yet.

Jesus the conspiracy run foil hat brigade are put early today.

Nothing in the article evidence-wise that isn't easily falsifiable. I mean fake text conversations make up half the humour sites these days so they count for nothing. The contract seems to be the most damning evidence but at the end of the day its a pile of papers with a cover page and some scribbles. Anyone with a printer and a marker could reproduce that.

Leos reaction should be interesting. A strong denial and there isn't really a whole lot for them to go on.

LBJ said his opponent, a pig farmer, had carnal relations with his swine.

LBJ’s horrified advisors said “Lyndon, you can’t say such things!”

LBJ responded “I just want to see him deny it.”

Damage has already been done.

You’d have to only assume that the journalist has some concrete evidence/source which is authentic and verifiable as such and is not relying on screenshots of text messages and an image of a contract. If this all they have and they are relying on this as proof then the journalist is just an idiot and deserves everything they get.

Well as pointed out, why is this in the village magazine and not something bigger? Was the evidence not enough for them to run it?

Captain_Crash · 31-10-2020 3:28pm

Leo knew this was breaking, he’s been given the heads up on it! The fact it was published and is out now tells me he didn’t issue any libel related legal threats against publishing it, or if he did, The Village are confident in the source and will fight such a battle if necessary! I think there may be more to this and we’ll know in the coming days

Allegedly the reports in Village magazine state that there is a direct text message from Leo Varadkar to Matt O'Tuathail asking him for his address. O'Tuathail then boasts of receiving confidential government document with Varadkar's handwriting on the cover.

OFFICIAL SECRETS ACT 1963:
SECTION 4(1)
"4.—(1) A person shall not communicate any official information to any other person unless he is duly authorised to do so or does so in the course of and in accordance with his duties as the holder of a public office or when it is his duty in the interest of the State to communicate it."

Pintman Paddy Losty · 31-10-2020 3:38pm

The villager is a total rag of a publication. Hilarious that anyone takes this seriously. They haven't even pit a journalists name beside it.

Ridiculous. Storm in a teacup.

If you keep repeating it, it doesn't make it any more true. Even if many others seem to echo your concerns!!

There’s a lot of anger out there, Paddy. Worrying stuff. Twitter should come with a health warning for these people.

They have.
The journalists name is Michael Smith.
So you clearly haven't read the article and are not interested in its contents because you have your tongue so far up Leo's arse.

It's always amusing that the same 2/3 posters rapidly appear at the same time whenever FG or one of their members get themselves into bother, and always immediately with the "nothing to see here" mantra while the story itself is still breaking.

Leo's statement later and the reactions/response will tell if there's something to it, but it certainly doesn't look good for him on the face of it, and it would be a foolish publication to come out with a story like this about the former (and future) Taoiseach with nothing to substantiate it.

If the story was about a Shinner, the FG flunkies on here would have The Village on par with the Washington Post.
