      This has been so cack-handed from the start on the part of the Village culminating in a set of “new” revelations about further meetings that they proclaim “may or may not have happened”. Lol
      That then unleashes tweets with photographic evidence showing that some of these meetings patently could not have happened and basic denials by ministers in a blithe and unperturbed way.

      The problem is taking Chay “Russia Today” Bowes’ scoops egged on by Paddy “Twisted Messiah” Cosgrave as gospel.

      Very easy then for Leo to crow “fake news”.

        As far as I recall, they referred to just one of those meeting as ‘may or may not have happened’.

        Your problem though lies with the confidentiality aspect, which yourself and Cian are steering clear of (and which, by the way, Varadkar referred to in a 2017 conversation with Gavin Tobin https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EmPa9aAXMAEOLZF?format=jpg&name=large )

        Any comment on the following? Your superior knowledge would be appreciated.

        “Subject to certain exceptions, Government records are confidential to Government. Exceptions where all or part of Government records may be disclosed are:
        •
        in accordance with provisions contained in Freedom of Information legislation relating to factual information (see next Paragraph) and provisions relating to Government records which are more that 10 years old,
        •
        under National Archives legislation when they are more than 30 years old,
        •
        on foot of a judicial Order for disclosure. [The Courts established (the Ambiorix case) in July, 1991, that no Government (or Cabinet) documents were privileged from disclosure in court proceedings merely on account of their origin. Documents which the Government wanted to protect on grounds of executive privilege would have to be inspected by the Judge who would balance the need for secrecy against the interests of the litigant and the public in the administration of justice.]”

          Paltry rebuttal GiggidyGoo. “Only one of those meetings didn’t happen” – they ALL didn’t happen. This is one sheet-show in terms of how to handle a smear. Even for the Village to write “may or may not have happened”. Utterly ridiculous. Every twist assists and exculpates Varadkar rather than condemning and damning him.

          A pile of steaming horse-sheet.

            My oh my. Keep running. You might catch up with Cian. ROFL. The quality of debate was set pretty low for the current crop of Concannonbots it seems. And it shows. You obviously haven’t the wherewithal to comment on the confidentiality aspect. Sure, we’ll wait for Cian. he usually has access to all types of information, diagrams, percentages that you wouldn’t understand.

            The tragedy is that you take the comment forum seriously.

            Don’t blame me when you are bawling in the wee hours.
