Meeting TikTok today. 1,100 new hires this year is very deserving of my first attempt I think! Go easy pic.twitter.com/6lGhX1UYwp

This morning.
Tanaiste Leo Varadkar celebrates new hires for Chinese-owned video app TikTok, facing the ongoing threat of a US ban, at its European data centre in Ireland.
Um.
Meanwhile…

The landlords will love it.
Yes – we should only have pure native industries like basket-weaving and bog-surveyor, employing pure-bred native Irish people from the plains of Westmeath, just like Dev envisaged.
It’s not employment for people currently living in Ireland. It’s importing a workforce (you may remember, courtesy of FFG, we exported our own people just a few short years ago). Varadkar is just searching for trivia now, that he wants to attach kudos to himself for. He’s an abject failure in every ministership he’s ever held.
Plus, of course, he acted illegally by giving a State confidential document to a friend. No amount of this type of ThickTalk will gloss over that for him.
Did he sleep in that shirt? State of it!
Blueshirts are day and night creatures.
Not sure why everyone is being so negative about a politician celebrating 1100 new jobs especially in today’s climate.
You can accuse Varadkar of many things but not having this country’s interests at heart is not one of them.
Jesus I never realised he was as insufferable even when he’s not talking.
He puts a lot of effort into that particular character trait.
makes sense, both TikTok and Leo have problems with confidentiality.
What music to pick though: Kylie, or Prodigy…
A national embarrassment.
Bitta backstairs gossip
The Judges have apparently pushed back and told Leo deal with Woulfe
Leo drove the appointment, tis his finger prints that are all over it – Woulfe is his problem so he can sort it out
Frank and them are done with meeting Woulfe, and calling around to his gaff on their day off to try and convince him
The Slagging will continue tho
They’re all political appointments themselves, so he’s allowing doubt enter their own positions and well as opening the Supreme Court to allegations of incompetence, poor judgement and cronyism
In the meantime, they’re promising a Work to Rule until it is
Children’s Television!, that’s where Varadkar should be working. Pull some strings at RTE and get him hosting The Den, he can have imaginary conversations with stuffed toys and do little montages of him dancing to Kylie numbers.
