    Miriam O trying the Sarah Mc vibe:

    'Hildegard Naughton!! Will you stop talking!'

    The issue is never the issue; the issue is always the revolution.

    The Entryism process: 1) Demand access; 2) Demand accommodation; 3) Demand a seat at the table; 4) Demand to run the table; 5) Demand to run the institution; 6) Run the institution to produce more activists and policy until they run it into the ground.

    RTE now joining the rest of the media laying out the absolute sham of the FOI system in place.

    Interesting.

    I'm not particularly anti Fine Gael or Zappone but this whole debacle is very worrying.

    The role which clearly made up for Zappone would have carried a lot of prestige. It's not about the salary it is the status the post would have conferred on Zappone.

    The only defence you could give Covenney is that he did not see the role as particularly important, but the blatant lies, since the story broke, deleting texts has damaged Covenney considerably. Maybe not in hardline FG supporters but definitely among the floating voters.

    This was Boris Johnson, or Trump levels of lies when the truth is clearly visible.

    Always amazes me how Zappone got away with 80,000 euros worth of false expenses that the taxpayer had to pay for. Its a pair of handcuffs she should be put in, not a job in the UN.

    Could you imagine the damage she would have done in New York with a government sponsored credit card? She would have been straight to Macys to drop $20k on clothes and that would only have been the start of it. The fact FG were willing to allow her live the high life in New York while the Irish taxpayer footed the bill says a lot about their priorities as well.

    I deeply suspect my imagining of things will be a bit more realistic than your imagining that "Coveney wouldn't be conducting govt business by text message" Allinall......🤣

    Why has Mcinerney being demoted to the recorded pieces and Miriam doing the live interview?

    The government press office must have been on to RTE to keep Mcinerney away from their politicians or there will be no more bailout.

    They only win if you don't vote. Given your vote to an honourable Independent if you cannot find a party candidate. People are now recognising the FFG power swap for what it is.
