    I don't know what interview you were listening to Prin, I heard PK absolutely fillet her.

    Can you tell us where this filleting took place Padd?

    What answer was she stuck on?

    A sure sign shes on the rocks is when she trots out the old "let me say this...".

    When is she going to apologise and correct the Dáil record regarding her Ansbacher "scoop" which turned out to be complete bull?

    Can’t agree, she sounds like an equally pompous female version of Leo.

    She was excellent in dismissing Pat's excusing of Leo using this incidence.




    The nonsense that political parties that have themselves done the wrong thing in the past 'cannot deign to criticise' is a nonsense as there would never be any accountability..ever.

    Not sure what your point is, a meeting is an organised gathering of more than one, I again ask what was the purpose of Leo's partner meeting MOT? (put the weak friendship point aside), now throw Bowls presence in the mix and it certainly raises a question or two. Was Leo's partner a messaging boy, was he sent to take notes, pass on info to or from Leo?

    Barret was very quick to refute Leo being present, not so quick to offer an explanation as to why he was meeting MOT and Bowls at a time that seems questionable.

    To me a meeting is a formal gathering to discuss a business or project, not a group of people meeting in a pub for a few beers.

    The idea that attending a funeral in another jurisdiction when her constituents couldn’t even go to funerals of family members, was the right and sensible thing to do.

    So you invent an answer to show that she was stuck on that answer? :):):)

    Pure FG tactics on this site...invent something that was said then criticise it.

    Both these funerals insulted those who could not attend funerals due to Covid regulations.

    They spoke of an attitude of one law for the State and Political Partys and one for the rest.

    Are you referring to Michael D (with the dodgy mask wearing), Micheal Martin & Simon Coveney attending John Hume's funeral

    There we have it folks.

    The vote has nothing to do with Leo Varadkar and everything to do with trying to land a few blows on the coalition partners.

    when those blows are well deserved, then quite right too.

    Exactly and MLMD addressed that and her regrets around it.

    She did NOT as Maryanne lied, say it was the correct and right thing to do in that context.

    Maryanne caught inventing what somebody said and constructing a criticism of them based on that misrepresentation.

    The stock activity of a number of pro FG posters here.

    Given Chay Bowes extreme pro Russia views, maybe this is the Irish version of Russian interference in our democracy :D

    MOT needed Bowes on board the partnership in order to stay in business. They were looking for opportunities in the private healthcare area.

    This is why he kept spoofing about having high politicial connections. Without Bowes on board, MOT had nothing.

    The document from Varadkar was a last-ditch effort to save the NAGP.

    I thought it was Bowes who needed MOT.

    Did he not approach MOT in order to get GP support for CHI. He thought NAGP was the better option because they had a larger membership.

    I don't know why you are dragging the funeral of a member of AGS killed on duty into this discussion.

    From your own link -

    "Castlerea Garda Station Superintendent Goretti Sheridan announced a nationwide minute's silence at the altar at noon and Taoiseach Leo Varadkar paid his respects at Garda Headquarters, while President Michael D Higgins held a vigil at Aras an Uachtarain in Phoenix Park."

    Can the same not be said for dragging anyone else’s name/funeral into this discussion or are we still on the one rule for x another rule for y vibe in here?

    This is a thread about LV leaking information, ie. a political matter.

    Colm Horkan was not a political figure.

    You should know that members of AGS are precluded by law from any political activity.

    Your own link shows that LV and indeed MDH behaved correctly in the ways they chose to honour the deceased.

    What was your point?

    Some of the lads here have been looking forward to this day like a child would look forward to Santa. Only now it looks like Santa forgot to buy presents and has passed out on the couch.

    As I am sure you are totally aware my point is nobody’s funeral should be used in an effort to defend LV.

    As you are also totally aware - the context of me bringing that particular funeral up was in response to Maryanne raising the point of MLMCD in attendance of a funeral
    In the north around the same time.

    They both attended a funeral that broke restrictions at the time. Both incorrect, both wrong, neither should be used to detract from what is being discussed here about LV.

    I didn’t bring it up to attack the Garda - just in case that’s where your next point is going.
