Probably afraid someone else will leak something before he gets a chance.
Yeah, it would be really nice if we didn’t get every bit of policy leaked to the Indo before it is formally announced.
Have they tried not being criminals?

Ah lads. Everything the govt does, every communication system the state has is open to other govts. GCHQ probably use us as a training example: newbie level 1. We should be more worried about media and politicians who are open to………..persuasion. I’ll settle for persuasion.
Well, he’d know a lot about this type of thing.
So we’ve known of security flaws in mobiles phones, particularly microphones and cameras for what? A decade? Longer?
Why the fuck haven’t mobiles been banned from sensitive government meetings already?
We called it Simon’s Law.
No wait thats too obvious. Harris’ Law.
Very common thing to do.
Except his own.
I’m surprised they were allowed – it is a security risk.
So he’s sat in Cabinet as the second most senior person in Government, absolutely wracked with worry over the security of the nation being compromised by this security flaw, and _didn’t think to say anything about it for two and a half years_?
Typical plumber … late to fix the leak
Does he just not trust himself to stop leaking stuff or what?
> A Government source said it was the norm across European governments to not bring electronic devices into the room due to the risk of bugging by foreign powers. Mobile electronic devices can be hacked into to listen to confidential discussions.
I’m not surprised at all. People still seem to think Ireland is some backwater small irrelevant nation of no interest to foreign powers.
We’re the premier destination globally for storing data which is more valuable than oil these days with tech and AI. That alone is enough to get us on most people’s radar.
Leo will also ask you to trust the same people and vote for them in the next election. He doesn’t trust them but you should
It was allowed ???? WTF
This has been long overdue.
Is this so he can shift lads in the cabinet?
We wouldn’t want a leak would we
Cop ~~off~~ on people
Astonishing this wasn’t always the case. Who ever thought a dozen internet connected devices with microphones and cameras would be ok in any security sensitive meeting?
There are no hot ones for you to make out with Leo 🤣 no one is going to film you there
I mean, in fairness he’d know all about security risks and leaks…
The guy who leaks like a colender worried about leaks
Bit rich coming from Leo the leek
So that’s what we’re calling Harris now..?
Wouldn’t want sensitive information leaking out anywhere, would we?
Ah, I’m sure banning mobile phones will make sure confidential government documents are never leaked! Wait a minute…
‘Cabinet Meetings’ is a bit of a shite name for a nightclub..
He doesn’t do irony, obviously.
No clue why this is a big deal, you don’t want info leaking out that shouldn’t, likewise, people should be able to voice something in a cabinet meeting without it being immediately broadcast, out of context, to journalists around the country.
Likewise, there is actually a very real security risk surrounding phones and their vulnerability, especially for.government ministers.
Probably ban them in night clubs next.
hello?!?! he literally gave state secrets to a “doctor freind” of his and now the oul’ iphone is the problem? some politians actually make my blood boil
Pity they weren’t banned in The George
No more booty calls for Leo then
He’s a fucking security risk
How ironic coming from Leo.
No more “tractor porn” then!
The only security risk i see there is leaking leo himself
The phrase “too little too late” is very applicable. This should have been a security concern 20 years ago, now it’s a security failure
I remember I went to see the cabinet for school ages ago and all the tds would whip out their phones on instagram when they weren’t on camera

Not really a bad shout tbh
