Whatever your opinion on this, can we agree this took a ridiculous amount of time? (And will presumably drag on for another while)
I’ve a feeling Paddy power wouldn’t take a bet on this one…
if anyone a lower rank than Leo did this, in any party, their head would have rolled long ago
I would even say if Leo was leader of a majority FG government at the time the story broke then his head would have rolled
The reality is that FF are relying on FG to stay in power, therefore his head CAN’T roll
The chances of the DPP prosecuting anyone from FG is zero. If it had been a shinner they’d be jailed by now.
I’ll bet he’s made of Teflon.
Anyone know how long it takes the DPP to make a decision? Will we be waiting another year?
It was inevitable they were going to send a file to the DPP. This way the Gardai get to wash their hands of the matter and leave the decision in the hands of another group. Hopefully the DPP will make a decision quickly.
I do not doubt for a second this will be dropped. But the fact this wasnt quickly brushed aside is fascinating.
So many crooks in FG these days got free passes. Leo must really not be liked to have his dragged out so long.
Such obvious corruption the whole system is rotten
Leo is part of the golden circle.
The sort of people who get looked after.
Who get fake jobs created for them to funnel (our) money to them.
Kicked out of the Dáil by a disgusted electorate? Never mind, you’ll be looked after and made a Senator.
Leak confidential Government papers to a friend for financial gain? A guy who goes to dinner parties at your house will decide whether to prosecute you (spoiler: he won’t prosecute).
It is Ireland. Politicians do not go to jail. Having said that I am surprised the file even made it to the DPP. But the DPP is a sleepy overpaid useless shower of shites, so there is no chance they would even open the file and have a look. In 50 years time the archives will possibly be opened and a 90 yo Varadkar will be disgraced but nothing will happen lol.
The ship of state is the only ship that leaks from the top.
– The DPP is Catherine Pierse.
– She was appointed by a cabinet that included Varadkar.
– Catherine Pierse’s uncle is former FG election candidate Robert Pierse.
The whole thing stinks of corruption.
It would go a long way to restoring some faith I have in the Irish judicial system if something actually happens here but I expect nothing more than a few harsh words.
Mr Varadkar needs to get his house in order extremely lively. The electorate are watching.
Multiple members of government should be in jail multiple times over for the shit they did during lockdowns. This era while go down as a total shit show in history.
Gardaí sent it forward with no recommendation says a lot about our country. They want to sit on the fence but know they also need to do something so they don’t look like taking a side. Just going through the motions.
He is very confident no charges will be brought against him.

Someone leaked the DPP,s decision
