Leo giddy as fuck here, clearly in awe of trump. Very similar to catriona pery that time.

Leo made a show of himself today telling the world that Ireland is corrupt as fuck and a phone will sort any problem out.

Ireland is open for business

They discussed cyber as well which is great.

A wag on twitter said, and you’ll like this @anon61956325 as you’re into the auld twitter and the auld sarcasm, it’s not as if he’s established a communications unit to specifically manage every message he or the governments gives to the nation.

The slagging of the PR unit is real 2005 Pat Rabbitte stuff. You know the country must be in pretty good shape when that’s top of the opppsitions agenda.

Or just that using public’s money to manage message to get reelected is an affront to democracy

Well then democracy has been affronted fairly continually over the last 50 plus years.

The entire electorate expect that their constituency/sector get preferential spending and politicians play up to it and the civil service play along.

Add on to that contributions to political parties, paid for special advisors etc etc …

Horseshit. I might add the SCU work is breaching civil service rules as well.

It’s a different story though when the sitting government is spending circa €5 million per annum of public money to churn out propaganda that is in the narrow interests of Fine Gael.

Worthy cause though. They could have squandered it on the homeless.

Is it a different story Matty - is it really? .

Firstly, the main reason that yourself and Angry Art have got sand in your knickers is because you don’t like FG. If your party of choice were doing it or pulling any of the other stunts that every party aspires to you’d be schtum

Secondly - it’s hard to see how it’s had any positive effect so maybe you’ll benefit politically in the long run

That was some fuck up from Leo today.

It embarrassing how Irish people seem to turn into a giggly fawning mess at even a glimpse of an American president.

The Fianna Fáil boys smell blood.

I’ve got higher standards than you obviously. You see no problem with Leo’s €5 million propaganda and enlightenment team because you spend your spare time nailing FG election posters to your local lampposts.

FG should pay for this out of their own coffers but that would go against all their core values. Instead, they can get the Irish public to pick up the tab. That’s how they roll. From Noonan, Doherty to Lowry, FG just see the Irish taxpayer as a cash cow.

Leo fucked up the presentation there, but a good speech overall from the boy.

Melania looked stunning in the green.
