How do we know she got paid or how much?
Genuinely.

The Irish government needs to freeze asset's of these guys but they won't because of connections, so they will write a strongly worded it letter ala Robinson diplomacy when the horse has bolted the stables.

The burning question and the smoking gun:
Did Mary Robinson ask about the other daughter who has not been seen since 2001? And did Mary Robinson think to request to speak with Latifa in private either during her visit or after she flew home? I am confident that answers to both are no because she never mentioned such in her interview.

That LLS interview was shameful and Tubridy failed abjectly as an interviewer, he has no right to carry out interviews if they are conducted as fluff pieces to redeem a person's reputation. It's clear that that was a a leading interview that was pre-agreed with the interviewee and was full of obstification.

I hope a journalist does a full FOI to find out what actually happened, the whole thing is a cluster **** and undermines our neutral standpoint.

This BBC report from last week might help

The horses sleep in stables that are much more luxurious than some places I've paid through the nose for in dublin!

This is the podcast of Princess Haya on with Marian Finucane shortly after Mary Robinson met with the family. Interview is from 2019

This is the introduction blurb

Former President, Mary Robinson, has come under severe criticism following a recent visit to Dubai. She went there at the invitation of Princess Haya, wife of United Arab Emirates Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktou.

President Robinson went to meet with Princess Sheikha Latifa – daughter of the Sheikh, who has attracted international concern over her welfare when she made a video alleging she had been imprisioned, tortured, had tried to escape and had not been seen in public for several months.

Princess Haya, spoke with Marian this morning...

When you are listening, bear in mind that Haya escaped from Dubai herself about a year later with her two kids.

For Walshb, I will be putting together a series of youtube tutorials on the topic on the channel HayaGoodByeA :pac:

Because the "saintly" Mary doesn't do anything for anyone unless she is getting the dolla.

I listened back to it today, and she specifically said that she did not receive any money for doing it. I'm hugely critical of Mary Robinson for her role in this, but I don't think it's fair to say that she benefited from the situation financially.

Is their a special request thread, after Dolly last week I'd love to see a Nick Cave and Tubbers zoom session or has he already been present on the LLS?

I think Nick Cave was on the LLS back in 1998.
