This goes onto depth on all the currently known facts about the case.
Very interesting article with two different barristers giving the opinion that Leo Varadkar has broken the Official Secrets Act.
And theres also another little tidbit in it to show how far the tangled web between Leo the Leak and O'Tuaithill goes, Im sure everyone remembers this photo
Who took the photograph for Leos spin unit? None other than O'Tuaithaill himself
https://villagemagazine.ie/its-a-crime/O Tuathail has also been something of a acilitator for Varadkar: when the Irish Independent revealed then-Taoiseach Varadkar had heroically reverted to his role as doctor in scrubs, it was O Tuathail who somehow was on-site to photograph Varadkar for them. He had facilitated this important placement, and indeed the associated PR opportunity, with medical charity Safetynet of which he was head until January 2020.
Funny thing is at the time Leo had said he wouldnt be allowing any publicity behind his return to medicine. But then the photograph gets published a few weeks later after he had got his buddy O'Tuathill to set up his return to medicine with a healthcare charity that O'Tuaithill was formerly the head of. And when the big day arrives who is there to photograph this momentous occasion but none other than O'Tuaithill himself.
Added to that is the fact that Varadkar is on record as saying O'Tuaithill is just an acquaintance of his that he might meet a couple of times a year. Yet here he gets in O'Tuaithill to set up his return to medicine with a medical charity he used to run and then O'Tuaithill just happned to be there on a random street in Blanchardstown to photograph the PR stunt. Leo wants us to believe that he barely knows O'Tuaithill yet the pair of them were plotting PR stunts together.

I'd say they had a right good laugh a Chay Bowes and the editor of the Village ringing up making complaints.
oh dear, this post hasnt aged very well because now it turns out the Gardai are investigating in a meaningful way.
I also find it interesting too that the person investigating Leo the Leak is none other than Assistant Commissioer John o'Driscoll who has specific responsibility for Organised and Serious Crime in Ireland. He is the main man assigned by the Garda Commissioner to take down the Kinahan Drugs Cartel. He is also on record a couple of months ago as saying his intention is to "dismantle criminal gangs". I must say I never thought he was referring to Fine Gael but it turns out he is investigating their leader now
