I donât know why the NAGP are not. @tallback seems to suggest that there was a lot of politics at play in how these things worked. They wouldnât be the only Unions/representative bodies in this country where deals are done separately or one is separated out. The NBRU would take a very different stance to the other transport unions, for example.
We have seen the impact of these things in the various transport strikes over the years, the recent Bus Ăireann one in particular.
There seems to be occasions in the past where the IMO have reached an agreement, with summaries put to the press and where the NAGP took it up and went to the media to bash it.
because they were not an official party to the negotiations. But they were to be âconsultedâ. The dynamics are clearly weird there and well beyond any one person, donât you agree?
I didnât see the WhatsApps/messages like that. Tbf there were a few photoshops of messages going on so maybe one has been constructed. Regardless, the Taoiseach is never going to want it out there, that is obvious ffs
I donât have an issue if your thing is here that âleaker, he has to go regardlessâ, but you have been flailing around here for 2 days looking for some sinister motive. First it was the NAGP looking to be seen as âin the knowâ and connected, then afterwards when it was in fact that they werenât going to release the name at all, it was sinister for that reason -the contradiction is clear to see. On the face of it, there doesnât appear to be any sinister motive involved or looking for personal gain (beyond simply the business of Government and getting a deal done), with this being an effort to get around the politics of the IMO/NAGP and get the deal ratified. This is realpolitik, not corruption or someone being sneaky for public profile.
If we are going to force the resignation of politicians for any form of leak then we are not going to have many left. It will also put journalists in an interesting position as they always enjoy the fruits of leaks. You canât be egging for resignations when that will dry up your sources. Maybe itâs for the best overall and politics overall, I donât know.
I know I was shocked. He was saying the Harris was still alive and was back on twitter but sermons yet on how we are all in this together and crushing coronavirus. Was surprised Claire didnât stop him.
Greens wont collapse the government, they are delighted as this as it takes the focus of OâGorman and his car crash handling of the mother and Babies homes legislation. This leaking Leo story has probably saved OâGorman.
Iâm just against self-serving, corrupt narcissists like Varadkar abusing their power.
The guy is an utter cretin and itâs great to have him outed.
Heâs fucked here, the defence mustered up by his expensively assembled PR team is powderpuff. Heâs in big bother tomorrow, Monty Burns will have to try and intervene tomorrow as the dogs are going to be let loose on him.
Sheâs fucking useless. She was useless on 5-7 live as well.
They should have put her back down the four courts doing courts reports. (I am aware it is only a commercial court now so we would hear fuck all from her).
I never heard her before until that time she made a fool of herself trying to interview Michael OâLeary recently. She really is extremely weak and Iâve no idea how she ended up in such a prestigious position.
the leaking is a huge problem and to be very honest id be happy for them to end as theres never any investigation by the media as to the âwhyâ of the leak, at this rates most of the leaks are for political reasons or kite flying. that said, id have zero problem with whistleblowing.
take the NPHET letter leak, RTE has questions to answer on that as the âwho leaked itâ is central to the story.
i was supposing to leos motives but Iâm sure village has a lot more in store which will come to the fore after leo finishes answering questions in the dail tomorrow
