Ireland politics (Part 2)

I dislike Varadkar more than most but you seem obsessed by this. No one cares. Nor should they. I don’t think it would be different for other politicians either.

That’s not true though

Eh no, how naive are you?

Did Mrs Collins pay her tax on the proceeds of construction works & the sale?

Added a bit extra

The bit in the trinity news report about the changing of dates of when he was married is a very odd detail and very suggestive that something is up.

It does look like a bit of a stroke alright.

That being said, is it possible that The Ditch over-egged it when they said it broke the law? I don’t buy into the Paddy C narrative that all the journalists are ignoring the story on purpose. Gavin Reilly’s suggestion that they couldn’t touch it in the absence of information and because The Ditch had reported it as law-breaking seems to sound about right.

I’m not sure about that. You can surely cover it without endorsing it or suggesting the law was broken. It was on rte 1 there at lunchtime, so obviously it’s not untouchable.

I don’t know enough about Ireland’s defamation laws to be honest but I don’t buy into this notion that all the mainstream media were ignoring it as part of some sort of bias or conspiracy so to my mind there was something holding them back.

They started commenting on it yesterday possibly because Paul Murphy raised it and there was a statement from Niall Collins on it. Prior to that, there was only The Ditch, Paddy Cosgrave and a bunch of Twitter headbangers.

I thought it was a bit weird that the likes of SF weren’t raising it either but that didn’t seem to get as much comment.

Regarding Stardust inquiry which started today why has it taken so long for current inquiry to commence

Not sure.

Jesus it’s very poignant seeing quite elderly women holding photos of their dead teenage kids, born in the 1960s, with clothes and haircuts of their time, who are forever young and never got the chance to grow old. A mother’s love is something to behold.

Very true, just saw it on the news

I’d say they think about it everyday, and everyone in Artane must have known a family impacted

Charlie and the Butterlys were as thick as thieves.

Some of them mothers on Prime Time there. Powerful women.
