Katherine Zappone Envoy Gig

This is payback from Varadkar for the people of Ireland not giving him and his party the most seats in the last election. He didn't take the result well on the night and it seems since he went in with FF he has been doing everything possible to p**s everyone off.

As the old saying goes, it's better to be lucky than good. Most of life is timing dependent. I don't think everyone gets how different their lives could be if the timing shifted.

Looked backed at that Interview Leo gave last evening, he really did look quite rattled, it looked like he had a spot of soggy bottom?, kept moving around, looking down, fidgety 😉

It's times like this I miss the political shows, Saturdaywith Katie Hannon, Late Debate, week in politics etc. Leo's timing good but this is not over quite yet.

We know we're cardboard cut out Simon Harris is, were is the illusive Simon Coveney, he's gone all quite🤔🤔

Love it 😂😂

Exactly how I feel . In the early days of the pandemic Leo and Simon Harris seemed reassuring and calming

My admiration waned over time to a point when last night Leo looked like a snivelling 12 year old who when caught out blames the whole class for it and gets his Daddy to back him up .

Fianna Fail, don't you dare bring down this government!! Don't you dare!!

Time enough for that.... 😉

Just watched Leos performance there. Have to say I can't agree with the various posters claiming it was car crash. As far as the average joe is concerned I believe it will be perceived as an honest attempt at explaining himself.

I'm politically agnostic. They're all humans and equally capable of being snakes. But I was hoping/expecting car crash and didn't get it imo.

The interviewer missed the most obvious question as far as I'm concerned, how coincidental it was that the only establishment in the country that appeared to understand the guidelines was the one place that accommodated this shindig.

Also that since then the same booking was attempted and declined. But Leo can only swing at what's thrown at him and from the perspective of survive at all costs political game I don't see this being the card that brings him down.

This is NOT about him trying to slither out of the impact of his leaking, people could detach themselves from that and keep it at a remove.

This was him trying to slither out of taking responsibility for ignoring advice that cost ordinary people a huge amount over the course of the pandemic.

He has roundly been rubbished for bullshitting his way through that interview as well as any of the low hanging FG reps FG has insulted the intelligence of the voter with to defend him.

Very few people are buying it, they are reminded time and again of the sacrifices they made while this entitled narcissist and his cronies suited themselves.

The interview will 'contribute' to his demise rather than bring it all down.

There is serous damage done here...you should be astute enough to know that when they all went to ground and hid for a few days.

Yeah I'm not arguing that damage hasn't been done. I'm mostly referencing the interview, thought it was going to pour petrol on the fire. But IMHO it didn't.

So yeah overall I'm not convinced this will be the end of leaky Leo.

Paschal and Simon Harris would be best advised to keep quite, Paschal still has questions to answer re his own little meeting with Katherine prior to appointment, Simon Harris is likely to have been Leaker in chief so I suspect both will be keeping very, very Quite for a while
