Who had agreed to consult with the NAGP?
Why did the Minister for Health not do this?
Why did the Minister for Health not release the document?
Why did they go through backchannels to get this document?
Why did Varadkar not consult with his gov colleagues, his minister for health, IMO before, during and after this?
If this was Varadkarâs strategy then why was it his friend who was pursuing him for it rather than the other way around?
Why was it delivered to his friendâs home address rather than their office across the road?
Why the need for secrecy?
Do you find it credible Varadkar didnât know their office was across the road?
Why did he write subject to change/amendments on the document if it was finalised?
Why did he reiterate that in a further text message ânot to take it as gospelâ?
Why did he delete text messages containing these requests?
Why would he contact his friend who isnât a close friend 3 times during the course of them releasing their statements? Do you find his justification for this credible? Do you think the optics of them being in cahoots with their joint statements is terrible and something Vardakar should have avoided?
His friend is on record as saying he wanted to destroy the IMO and the document could allow them to âtake the windâ out of the IMOâs sail. His friend was the head of a rival organisation. Did Varadkar show a massive and reckless error of judgement in putting a confidential document into the hands of a rival organisation with sinister motivations?
Varadkarâs story lacks any sort of credibility. What you have offered as a defence is not supported by anything and when you look at the established facts we have now, Varadkarâs defence is actually totally and utterly undermined by them.
