‘sup?
More as we get it.
Update:
Twice Zappone has referred to #MauriceMcCabe as Senator McCabe, surely she means Sergeant

Oh.
Update:
Taoiseach said on This Week that Zappone had informed him of meeting in advance; she says now last Tuesday was first she spoke to him on it

Oh.

Oscar winning material from “independent” Zappone
She has no party ties. She should not be going for a scripted, and poorly scripted to add, speech on what is a massive problem.
The government are hoping this goes away, and it will as everything does here.
She should remember that people voted for her as an independent and would hope she would use that independent voice. Her and Ross are culpable as anyone for the mess we are now in.
“She has no party ties”
c’mon man don’t be naive..
Ah I know, but I meant more that she’s an “Independent”. Not that that means much these days
it makes her easier to hang out to dry is all.
She’s FG by proxy. Soon it may be for real.
And I thought Adele was full of it.
How many kilometres to Leinster house?
it’s not so much about how many there are as how many can you make it
Bingo!
…did anyone ask the Min for Children what her position is on parents taking children out of school during term time to go on holiday…
Probably focusing on how the Child & Family Agency founded on decades of fupping up investigations into child abuse, fupped up an investigation into child abuse – today anyway.
Someone is lying.
And someone most definitely needs to face criminal charges over this blackening of McCabes name.
Call a nonsense celeb a nasty name on Twitter and you can face jail time. So if the systematic ruining of a man’s life by state employees doesn’t warrant a jail sentence for those directly involved, then there is no justice for the citizen.
Was his name ever blackened? He’s always been held in high regard by the public and moreso now.
There was an attempt to blacken his name, which could easily have succeeded were it not for his courage in not backing down, and some good journalism by Michael Clifford and indeed Broadsheet.
How many other such attempts on other people have actually succeeded because they get scared and back down, or because no one stands up for them and the allegations stick? Quite a few I’d saw.
You need to look up the difference between Journalism and Research.
Who are you to lecture about such things editor, all you do is rehash associated press releases
Your deductive powers are so incredibly attuned, I’m surprised you’re not running a global website debunking the lies of the MSM at every turn.
What are you getting at? Journalism doesn’t entail research or something? You realise you sound like a clown don’t you?
You’re like a failed tabloid hack, who’s jealous of those who do decent work and get a bit of credit for it.
Right wing editor lectures someone on editorial whilst puking associated press clips verbatim all over his mundane shallow rubbish filled rag..
FAIL
yeah, (((zappone))) looks overcome with emotion in that pic
Zappone is either out of her depth or a phoney, take your pick.
jimmy russell? is it yourself?

The change in regard for Zappone over the last year or so is utterly striking.
Can’t wait until Saint Murphy and Shortall make the mistake of going into a coalition.
That reminds me – Comrade Paul Murphy has been stunningly silent lately. Most unlike him.
Heaven for the rest of us though!
did she have some work done?
Next election will swing for FF. Independents and small parties (if there are any left who aren’t SF) will be pressured to go into coalition or give their support amidst loud complaints about them doing nothing if they go into opposition. Horror, disgust and betrayal when it turns out that supporting coalition government involves compromises, toeing the party line, and efforts to spin and manage the latest scandal. Government falls, Independents and small parties get scapegoated, FG form coalition, horror, disgust, betrayal etc, FF cycle back into power an election later. Repeat ad nauseum.
SF may be the wild card in all this, God help us.
RTE is already trying to direct the narrative on all this with Primetime going with the ‘series of extraordinary errors’ story with regards Tuslas involvement. I hope it is an error but that has yet to be established. A criminal inquiry will do that.
It’s obvious to anyone with eyes in their head that McCabe was deliberately smeared. Currently, there is no solid proof (I’m talking legal, court of law stuff here) as to who ordered it and carried it out. That is why RTE and the Media have been using the amusing phrases ‘clerical error’ and ‘series of extrodinary errors’. They don’t actually believe this. Most people hearing or reading these phrases don’t actually believe it.
+1 Yeah, nobody’s gonna believe it. Walks like a duck, sounds like a duck, looks like a duck….we can’t prove in a court of law that it’s a duck, but I’d still bet the mortgage that it’s a duck. And cutting and pasting hardcore accusations willy nilly …..by accident? Is still no excuse.
RTE apologist editor
He’s right though, no? You are expected to read between the lines.
You might have a job on your hands asking Jusayin to read, nevermind between the lines
Establishment shills the pair of ye
So, you’d prefer they prejudice an investigation and give the perp a chance to get off?
Editor is a right wing mouth piece, there is nothing between his lines, they’re not even his..
Yea I’d love that spudnick
I, second hand emotion.
Kieran bringing up Paul Murphy to deflect FG corruption; nice
Kennysmells deflecting from Paul Murphy’s silence and inaction on Garda corruption, nice.
Apparently Murphy only cares about policing when they won’t let him sit in front of a car like a spoilt child.
Just admit the reason you brought up Paul Murphy is because your paid to Kieran the stooge
*You’re
And I thought Adele’s performance was bad. I expect Uns Mullally will rush to support Zaccrony by not writing anything in the Irish Times. Appalling.
