I canāt remember where I was and it was only a few weeks ago
Iām sure Iāll remember where I was on (insert day/month/2020 here) when the golf dinner news broke on my deathbed
Youāre making things up again.
RTE refused to report on the story until such time they had a comment from Varadkar, it was a full day.
They waited 4 days to allow the gov to be challenged by the opp on the story.
They refused to report on pertinent information provided to them by the whistleblower before the Taoiseach was questioned.
We know well youāre an establishment shill at this stage, when do you think FFG should make their amalgamation official?
Mate I criticise everyone in equal measure. Iāve criticised FF more than any other party on here in the last few months. Just like I also criticise SF which you seem to have an alert set to every time. Just like Iāve criticised both Trump and Biden on here in recent days. As far as politics go I am about as unbiased as anyone on here.
RTE and Virgin Media have provided plenty of coverage and debate around this matter since it broke. It just happens to coincide with the biggest worldwide news story in years. People donāt care about it that much in the main because itās not something thatās simple to understand like childrenās shoes or water charges

The longer he stays in situ the more damaging it is for FG. He already oversaw their second worst ever election and his reputation has nose dived even further now. The base will back him even harder but thatās a solid 20% only at this stage. Sad really, he will be forever remembered as the man who made the shinners electable- some leagacy for a fg leader

They have not. They both failed to report on the story for a full day until such time as Varadkar had put together a statement. The both prevented the opposition from having a platform to challenge the gov for 4 days after the story broke. This is absolutely unprecedented. Both prioritised a presidential election 4000 miles across the Atlantic rather than reporting on a national scandal involving the then head of state in corruption and cronyism.
To say the media gave it just coverage is just a complete and utter lie, itās clear as day they tried to buried and put it into the back pages.
Can you answer why Varadkar was given a courtesy of a full day of non-reporting until he had put together a response?
Can you answer why the opposition were denied a platform with the gov reps for 4 days to discuss this matter?
I canāt help but feel this would be a bigger deal had Pearse managed to lay a hand on Leo during the Dail questions
Pearse is still in Matt Cooperās studio manically waving his piece of paper after his trimming from that backbencher
