He’ll be victimised all right. You can see it already beginning your post - casting vague aspersions of criminality without any evidence, threat of blacklist, accusations of association. Your own behaviour in this short post accurately sums up the mistreatment whistleblowers can expect from those who don’t like the spotlight being shone on their dubious ways.

I would have thought the McCabe saga was a lesson for those who wished to vilify whistleblowers?

Muahahaha

Looks like Leo is going with the 'I leaked it for the national interest' defense, nobody believes that crock of sh1te. Silly, silly boy.

sabat

Nobody wants to hear your poxy history lesson Leo.

Muahahaha

Divert. Distract. Deflect.

He's had his first dig at the civil servants

Cute Hoor

I don't know if I'm allowed to post this but Varadkar is spouting pure and utter waffle

Bang on the money

Dempo1

Vomit enducing, need to see my own GP now

I think Leo should get the parachute because he's great. In fact, I think I should get both the parachutes, in case one of them doesn't work!

Well, listening to his explanation makes this seem like a complete non story.

I hope the Village will may a full apology

True, but it seems IAMAMORON hasn't been paying attention in class.

Dempo1

Harris nodding his head and texting furiously, wonder who he's briefing

Nothing new here, and this defence has been blown outta the water since this story broke.

JohnnyFlash

Lot of anger around here, and a lot of time wasted over the past few days over a complete non issue.

Jinglejangle69

Hmmm can't actually see much wrong here.

Time will tell.

SouthWesterly

Lots of 'we all know what it's like'

boombang

I like the way the camera moved to Mary Lou when the BS parallel was drawn to peacemaking in the North.

NSAman

His "friend" is not his friend... but telling him he is bigging himself up... thats why he says "leo always delivers"

The guy is not telling the truth here

By who?

Some random era on the internet?

I need a box of tissues, this is emotionally draining

Cluedo Monopoly

I think Leo is explaining this well. I also think he way more capable that Coveney and all the other FG and FF ministers - it's a low bar to be honest. I think we are better to have him in the Dail than to leave politics. But he will need to stop acting like a petulant child at times and leaking information to get visibility. I have zero doubt he leaked the NPHET Level 5 letter now.

JohnnyFlash

There isn’t a senior politician in that Dáil who hasn’t leaked something confidential to either the media or another stakeholder. It’s an extremely effective way of getting things done at times. I’m sure there’s going to be lots of journos worried about their sources as a result.

Simon looks nervous

Wow Leo just lost a friend. He just threw the celeb doctor friend under the Bus.

Doherty tearing thru em. Caught lovely.

NSAman

Caught by the bollox .... Why would you get a second copy... only to pass it on... not believeable here

a very cool kid

To be fair this is actually a major issue.

Sinn Féin are doing an awful job on quizzing him though

Muahahaha

So he is claiming he was very interested in the contract for GPs but when he received the first copy he threw it in the bin :rolleyes:

JohnnyFlash

Doherty’s fake outrage act is gone very stale at this stage.
