Giving the doc may have been illegal - I don’t know the details - and if it was he’s prob gone.
If it’s not illegal then it becomes a political question. Obv SF, SD etc jump up and down but that’s not what will really decide it - more likely the views of Greens, FF and more particularly FG. That’s why I’m querying what the alleged “corruption” element is and it’s not exactly money changing hands Bertie style and to my mind seems a bit overstated. But as I said that only comes into play depending upon the legality of giving a copy of the doc

They are all supposed to be independent contractors. A representative body negotiating for all of them does beg some questions about competition law.
The other body (Leo mate) has now collapsed.

All fine and dandy but I thought there is a massive shortage of GPs ?
FF would be glad to see the back of Varadkar, who has been undermining MM regularly. SF need him in situ to preserve the Punch and Judy, US style us vs them campaign
No, but their representative body should register as lobbyists and use the normal channels of communication.

I’m sure that the rules as set out in the lobbying act have been fully followed…
I thought whoever leaked it made a mistake going to the Village if they wanted to maximise damage. The article read like a bit of an anti-Leo blog-post as opposed to reputable journalism going on about “Leo the leak” etc and over-reaching with claims of corruption. It made it easier to portray it as a political smear effort.
There’s not much upside out of this for FF either way I’d imagine. Good for opposition parties though.
Ballot of all GPs. Why do you want non IMO members excluded? Leo wanted all GPs briefed and agreeing to the deal. He’s done the country a service here by getting the GP deal over the line.
It’s sad to see Ireland reduced to this kind of smear politics.
