    It's important to find out what behaviour is acceptable and the new norm so other governments and ministers can decide what to share and to who. Seems it's anything goes.
    I don't think that's a good thing.

    I thought the file had gone to the DPP...a ways to go yet on this.

    The precedent has been set now, that any Minister or TD can leak documents in the same way, and apologise and that will be the end of the matter,

    That sounds good to me.

    Although somehow I doubt that the members of the media who regularly receive leaked documents from unknown political sources will be particularly happy if a precedent of leaking documents only a few days after the relevant press release has been issued will become the new norm!

    It looks like things are getting more interesting and its squeaky bum time for Leo.

    Why is he being questioned? Genuine question.

    Don't know. Perhaps he has some knowledge of the events surrouding the matter.

    Not long after the dinner, could have done without reading this.

    Is that some kind of veiled homophobic slur?

    Alex Ferguson, refers to managers and staff sitting on the plastic seats when things are getting tense in a game shuffling around nervously making a squeaky noise caused by their bum.

    Zero homophobia unless the mention of backside or an arsehole is now a homophobic slur? I don't know these days, could well be.

    Why do people resort to the excuse of homphobic slurs when they know full well what I meant and that Leo's gig is up.

    Squeaky Bum meaning.

    Who knows, wouldn't surprise me with all the latest Twitter policing they are doing the rounds to the most high profile and outspoken of those about the case and against Leo and possibly advising against doing it all. Drew and Leo rounding up the present Stasí Síochána's finest and reminding us not to speak ill of our overlords.

    Must be to help with the decision they are going to make as regards recommending a prosecution or not to the DPP's office.

    This is tinfoil hat stuff. The idea that parts of the executive branch of the State are in cahoots with the Gardaí to silence or suppress online cranks like Cosgrave is laughable tbh.

    "Blue Hugh" O'Connell on it now.

    Web Summit founder Paddy Cosgrave interviewed by gardaí in relation to Leo Varadkar document leak probe

    Paddy prob unable to resist getting this one in.
    “I was more than happy to assist the gardaí in their ongoing criminal investigation,” Mr Cosgrave told Independent.ie
    I'll bet he was, him and Kate O'Connell both. :D

    I know yeah, it’s total lunacy up there with the moon landing being staged, imagine the state and police colluding to silence their detractors, that’s never happened anywhere.

    I guess the Gardai source at the weekend wont be asked anything again (if there even was one)

    I''d say its more a case of Cosgrave was always going to be interviewed but his sense of self importance and pride must be hurting as he like an insignificant witness was left Paddy Last

    He probably spent most of the interview ranting about poor broadband and not getting free buses to his private event.

    "whether or not charges should be brought against Mr Varadkar and others."

    Who are the others? Paddy Cosgrave?

    Are you going to apologise to me for that senseless insinuation? You knew full well what I meant yet you had to get your dig in to protect your precious Leo.

    How very woke of you. And insulting not only to that poster but to the actual fight against homophobia.

    You're just putting power in the hands of the bigots by creating specious arguments around an area of discrimination

    I presume 'others' would come from among those interviewed. Did any of them assist Varadkar in what he confessed to in the Dáil. All sorts of possible offences there, aiding and abetting, obstruction etc etc.

    Could also be questioned regarding wasting Gardas time by making an official complaint about something that was simply a personal vendetta against Leo?

    I don't know if you can be charged for wasting police time unless the complaint made was knowingly false.

    **Leo's admitted and apologised for sharing the document, and numerous people have been questioned under caution**

    Yeah, I don't think "wasting police time" wil be applicable here Maryanne,

    dig up ^^^

    Separate process and not covered by the two pieces of legislation they are currently investigating under.
