Katherine Zappone Envoy Gig

I would not compare the current mob and Haughey now.

So far Leo has handed over a Document, given someone a 60day/15k a year role and attended what the Ag says was a legal and ok event.

Not defending actions that are wrong but when want to compare well its not much of a comparison to Haughey buying Islands for Millions and cashing pay checks in bars so nobody would know the state of his finances.

Did we ever have a public process for electing envoys? Once again a serious question?

Sure it is but then we get back to reality....

A crap one but human nature cannot be changed...

Zappone who is member and operative in the US Democratic Party and a US citizen campaigned for Joe Biden to be elected President last year in New York.

The narrative here is the Merrion Party was a going away do.

How long has Zappone been living in the US? ,it seems at least since last year,in which case the public are being gaslighted by this American ,Democratic Party operative and her associates in FG/FG. More likely this party was a celebration for getting a made up job at the expense of Irish people....she was long gone from Ireland.

Why has Coveney compromised the Irish state by trying to secretly hire a US Democratic Party activist as an Irish Diplomat ?

Why have senior members of the Irish government attended a bash in the Merrion hosted by an activist of the US Democratic party and whose recent political actions have been centred round the US Democratic party.?

A huge number of the Irish Diaspora in the US support the Republican Party and vote for them . How are the long term interests of Ireland maintained if the political class here are so one sided dealing with the US.?

Trump for all the ignomony with which he is covered here in Ireland saved jobs and created more in Co. Clare. Zappone created one job here ,for herself and paid for by us until she was rumbled.

Mr varadkar will be on the six one news in the studio.

He really is an offensive individual.

Out on his ear he should be.

I see RTE put their top political journalist on the case interviewing Varadkar.

Where was Caitriona Perry when we needed her ?

the Merrion hotel appears to be the only establishment in the country that was aware of the revised guidelines, not even failte Ireland knew about them. it would appear Mr varadkar didn't know either but thankfully the Merrion set him straight.

Wouldn't it have been Hillarious if Vincent Browne was hiding in the studio and came out to do the interview 😁

In fairness I thought Sharon Toibin did a decent Job, she kept at him and he was certainly ruffled, albeit typically blaming everyone but himself. He did apologise but it almost sounded like he was apologising on behalf of someone else.

But he does look somewhat rattled

Sarah Mcinerney and yes, she would have torn him to shreds 😉
