Leo Varadkar story in The Village??? - Mod Notes and banned Users in OP updated 16/05

He confessed. That's as factual as can be.

I asked investigate him for what? Receiving from Varadkar? Come off it. This is getting sad and desperate.

He leaked a confidential document from a private negotiation, to a rival, uninvited, union, headed by his friend. Thats the fact being investigated for any criminality.

Here's a tip for free Marine, stop getting so hung up on what you perceive as "your side" - I don't ask you to take ownership for what others are posting, so how's about you deal with what I'm posting too?

As for "goading", and using "pseudonyms" (you sure you understand the meaning of the word btw?)

Can you point out how the hell I'm trying to "goad" you? Or what "pseudonyms" I'm using?

If you perceive if as "goading" people mentioning facts about the predicament Varadkar has landed himself in, you'd be best to stay clear of threads such as this one, because I don't consider it to be goading anyone if it's being kept factual.

Varadkar has admitted to giving the documents marked as "confidential" to OTuathail.

Varadkar is the subject of the NBCI criminal investigation.

It is in the public domain that Varadkar was questioned under caution (not as a witness)

It is also in the public domain that Varadkar and OTuathail deny "knowingly" breaking any laws. (Though if it makes it to court, I'm not sure ignorance of the law butters any parsnips as they say)

If you suspect any of what I'm posting to be untrue, or that I'm perhaps "making it up" you know what to do, and what button to press, but I can assure you all of what I'm posting can be backed up, if you want to read up on any of it and enlighten yourself, just ask and I can help you with that, the fact you feel someone is "goading you" by posting about Leo Varadkars uncomfortable predicament, in the thread about Leo Varadkars uncomfortable predicament, well unfortunately I can't help with that one.

Well to be fair, a "pseudonym" is an alias (a fictitious name).

You used one yourself when you created your username here (I would hope)

Perhaps you meant to use a different word, I don't know, but as far as I can tell, "OTuathail" and "Varadkar" are certainly not "pseudonyms", not my dog in the fight, but I can see where they're coming from, thinking you might misunderstand the meaning of the word you were using?

Ah I understand now, you're a tad "peeved" (shall we say?) at "subject" being used (that's not a pseudonym, no matter how much you protest though)

Looking in from here though, you just seem to be complaining about something which is factually correct, Leo, and his actions are the subject of a criminal investigation though, by the NCBI. Surely your can't have missed numerous reports describing it as such?

I believe SIPO even used the term, perhaps they're deliberately "goading" you also?

If it was factually inaccurate, I would get your grievance, but currently (to me anyway) it just looks like you moaning because you don't like the stark reality lain out in front of you.

I'll leave it at that.

Varadkar is not a criminal. He could be, but we'll wait until the criminal investigation into his actions is closed.

So now you are admitting that the poster Murphy (or any other poster) is factually correct when they describe Leo as being the "subject" of a criminal investigation?

What, in the name of all that is holy, was the big commotion about, and why are you describing it as "goading" and using the entirely incorrect and inappropriate description "pseudonym" for calling it, what it is?

I find it a bit "cry babyish" if I'm perfectly honest, I detest the dark and cold evenings that are encroaching on us at this time of year, but it is what it is, no point complaining about it.

With this apparently set to continue into 22, I'd get used to it if I were you, but what I wouldn't do is complain about folks calling a spade a spade.

It's not what you said?

Who posted this then?

Are you posting with sincerity, or taking the mickey?

hey you should have a peep in the sf tread , their was a poster on there that " raked " up a word that a sf td used on the radio because gerry adams used years before too and claimed there was a shinner conspiracy about people being schooled to use the same language .

actually come to think of it , it was you brendan hahaha

varadkar is still the main figure of the guards investigation , for something varadkar admitted doing , people will understandably want to talk about that , likely even for years to come no matter how it concludes .

prob as wise getting use to it pal

By your low standards I guess so.

He confessed and apologised. Did you not know that?

Desperate attempt at whatabout there lad. 2 out of 10.
