Katherine Zappone Envoy Gig

Not at all sure why your bringing the homophopic and SF argument into this discussion, I've certainly not seen any anti gay commentary with regard to Katherine Zappone, if it's your contention that everyone that disagrees with these shenanigans is somehow left wing or supportive of SF, your sadly mistaken.

That would be because I am not a member of SF or the IRA.

I voted for them.

Is your deflectionary point here that anyone who voted for FG should be answerable for the appointment of Katherine Zappone? Should be answerable for anything FG does?

It's interesting that we have a poster appear on thread trying desperately to make it a SF via the government thing and the Indo is at it this morning too.

If anything SF are late to the party on this one imo. But usual deflection muck from FG primarily. Concerted/organised deflection....hmmm one would wonder.

Listen to the and Coveney says she didn't approach him and then goes on to explain she approached him, so Leo wasn't lying.

don't know why who leaked it from cabinet is that interesting as they were going to announce it an hour later anyway, the first tweet from Danial McConnell said it was proposed by Leo Varadkar which was wrong and McConnell deleted that tweet, question is who leaked that Michael Martin didn't know about it till they were in cabinet, thats what elevated the story...

all she has to do is register herself.

Created an argument? Utter horsecrap that post is.

There is one group on these forums that is constantly name calling and accusing all people of being something else when they disagree with them.

The same group also repeatedly claim that there are many angry men in here. And try to use really pathetic deflection tactics.

The truth is, a position was gifted with a bow, and people want to know why. Not how much money that position brings including expenses and bonuses, but why somebody on the other side of the atlantic is able to create a position out of thin air, approach our government and be appointed that position without anybody else being notified. How often are things like that done? Are there other positions filled like that, that the taxpayer should know about?

Is corruption rife in this government or is this a once off (scoff)..

They are valid questions and there are plenty more. If you want to find somebody to blame for 'starting an argument' then look directly at the same people who created and gifted a job with other peoples money and their own arrogance. Even their own party members are reeling about it.

So many posters here displaying the anger of Coveney and Varadkar - they cannot accept the change. There is a new political game in town, you will be held to account.

Theres so many leaks going on my head is spinning. FG are eating themselves alive at this stage with Varadkar and Coveney directly contradicting one another in the media. One of them is lying about how this appointment unfolded and FF were kept totally out of the loop of the crony stroke.

This has to be related to the fall out from the DBS by election, Varadkar shafted Coveneys ally O'Connell and in the process FG lost an easy win in the by election by forwarding an inanimate carbon rod. Varadkar has made losing elections a habit now and some in the party want him gone.
