I don’t care if it appropriate or not best practice. I do care if there was unfair financial gain for someone or some group.

    Absolutely nothing happened as a result of this.

    Varadkar says the negotiations concluded on 3rd April and it was brought to cabinet on the 9th April.

    But O'Tuathail received this document on 5th April, did he not?

    Did O'Tuathail receive this document before other cabinet ministers and Varadkar claims it was already in the public domain?

    I sense Leo has burned a few bridges tonight, I sense a spot of additional leaks tomorrow. I reckon Harris livid

    In fairness to the Taoiseach he handled then like a champ.

    EDIT

    sorry I meant to say Tánaiste.

    Good man Leo.

    He will brazen this out as long as he has his party and FF support.


    Edit
    ..... Ehm actually I think he may have just nailed himself to the cross.

    O, that's a killer question, have you ever leaked confidential cabinet info, not a good immediate response from Leo

    No, he was almost out the gap too, but that response will keep life in this story.

    Leo was pretty wide eyed there for a few seconds when Peader asked him about leaking other information.

    May not be today or tomorrow but Leo is toast. Simon the Corkman will be the next FG Taoiseach.

    Peadar Toibin should have opened with his question about leaking cabinet information. He was on to a good one there.

    Considering the NAGP are now defunct it would appear not. Perhaps even the opposite.

    He claimed it was mostly in the public domain and something about things not remaining confidential for ever. Basically he leaked confidential information and he's bull****ting to dismiss it.

    Caught rapid on the leaking cabinet secrets there.
    Leo has been filleted here. Not enough, if the party support him, but his reputation is in tatters.

    They all leak stuff. The budget is a good example. We pretty much knew every detail before it was announced.
