I’m becoming convinced that Bryson gets more coverage and reference here than he does anywhere else.

That thing with Louth GAA where the lads gave money for visas, is that how vulture funds get a foothold into the country?

I'm not holding my breath. 


Rishi Sunak has said he wants to deepen ties between the UK and Ireland after a “very positive” first face-to-face meeting with the taoiseach, Micheál Martin, before the British-Irish Council summit in Blackpool.

He said he was pleased with progress on the Northern Ireland protocol dispute and was determined to end the impasse over the Stormont assembly.

“I think we all recognise that the protocol is having a real impact on the ground, on families, on businesses in Northern Ireland, threatening Northern Ireland’s place in the United Kingdom. And I want to resolve that,” he said.

“I’m deeply committed to the Belfast Good Friday agreement. I want to see the institutions back up and running in Northern Ireland, because that’s what the people in Northern Ireland need and deserve.”

Video doing the rounds of Leo wearing the head off some young lad. Basically caught by the balls cheating on his partner.
It was far across the sea,
When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

Which head?

Who is surprised by this? He's as slimy as all else.

Just saw the video. He really took the Red Hot Chili Peppers song "Suck My Kiss" literally, huh? Absolutely tearing into the young lad like me eating a kebab after a night out. Just leathering into the guy.

Its no different than any other male/female getting ‘stuck into’ any other male/female in a nightclub.  As HB says above he’s married. He is currently Tanaiste and about to become Taoiseach of our country for a second time and he’s holding his hand out to be slapped like this. Doesnt bode well for his decision making. 

Thats all that should concern people, not that he was “leathering into the guy”.

Not as strange as Leo Varadkar referring to Belfast as "overseas".

It's not the kind of behaviour you would expect from a government leader. Nothing to do with it being male on male but 'cheating' with someone else in a nightclub is an offence that could make the position untenable.  
Of course the excuse can be "everyone is entitled to their private life and who knows the arrangement between he and his husband" which is true, but again in a leadership position you have to be trustworthy and this could be the nail for him, he has had too many of these scandals now i can see FG starting to make a push to change the leadership.

Lets not forget, and based on the video I’ve seen, there is a chance that it is his hubby (with a haircut) as his face cannot be seen and he has done nothing wrong in his personal time.

Of course, everyone is entitled to their private life, but that becomes a much harder ‘defence’ when said person is quite open on his personal SM channels.

Anyway, time will tell…

Its long term partner and not hubby, but either way, nobody knows for certain the circumstances. Probably wishful thinking to hope that this is the end for Leo, but st worst its a step closer.

He seems to get himself into situations. The amount of times he has had to defend himself over this and that.

Maybe he is being unfairly targeted but still, can't imagine he will last as leader for too much longer he was already on the ropes a little. 
He was barely voted in in his own constituency last time sure.
