So who was involved in the lockdown knees-up, with no social distancing nor masks (June 2020)?
– Leokins head of Strategic Communications Unit, John Concannon, now elevated to Director General of the ‘Global Ireland’ division of the Department of Foreign Affairs.
– Brendan Rogers, now elevated to Ambassador to the Netherlands.
– Niall Burgess, now elevated to Ambassador to France.
What budget did the Moet and Chandon come out of? Or did the Foreign Affairs Minister (Coveney) stump up?
The excuse was they were full of happiness. Remember the resignations over Golfgate?
Guffaw – this looks like mad auld lad GiggidyGums’ hit list. To be fair this was a celebration, however ill-advised, for Ireland gaining the rotating seat on the UN Security Council.
Crikey, I never thought I would see demented GiggidyGums mention Moët and Chandon in a sentence although it isn’t exactly the best Bolly! Run of the mill stuff. I don’t know why some regard it as “fancy”.
In any event, at this stage, this should elicit nothing more than an eyeroll (to my mind there are far more important things to roast the government on) but of course there will be calls for heads to roll from the usual suspects but so far this doesn’t appear to be gaining much traction (aside from mad auld lad GiggidyGums who has got his Leo voodoo doll out again).
Scan your code Giggz!

And bang on time.
Scan the code Boxy. Mumsie and pops must have turned up on time with the allowance eh? Ticking off the days until you can once again grace the kiddies klub now no doubt.
There there there. Bitty. Ha haaaa.

Only Moet and Chandon? Should have been Dom Perignon, Taittinger or Bollinger for a classy celebration.

…I’d rather have a vintage Cava than a NV Champagne…but then…it was only a seat on the UN Security Council that everyone ignores anyway…
SOQ
Were these people actually working together? In which case what is the issue?
I think they got such a blow back after O’Toole’s hate filled nonsense that they have to at least try to appear like they more balanced.
The Irish Times has done themselves no favours with their propaganda during this whole thing. No one knows what the long term implications are and even in the shorter term, if the Bhakdi/Burkhardt pathology results are replicated else then that is an absolute game changer.
They seem to do this a lot in recent years. They will put out some incendiary gibberish penned by one of their “big names”, rile everyone up, and then row back with some sort of attempt at “balance” at the end. A poor man’s Broadsheet
Surely, “a poor person who identifies as a man’s Broadsheet.”
Actually, I find Broadsheet to be a diamond in the rough for everyone. It’s a crystal-clear signal of madness cutting through the white noise of the world of insanity.
It’s reassuringly normal here though some people are clearly a bit extreme at times. Members of my own family are either petrified or completely dismissive of the COVID, or rather what is clearer now is how mad they always were to begin with.

‘In advance of the 2022 fire season the gov should
• prohibit all burning of land
• Roll out a public awareness campaign on the dangers of fire
• Assure landowners they will not be penalised for having scrub
• Promote rewilding/HNV across the uplands’ https://twitter.com/whittledaway/status/1476185341832871938
Yay! Files sealed though, which means all the elite child molesters won’t be held accountable. These include both Bill Clinton, & Bill Gates – with dozens of flights each on the Lolita Express. The Lolita Express made many stops in Ireland but records of the flight logs, have been ‘shredded’. The prostitutes within Irish media seem contend with this explanation, and have decided not to investigate further.
