Challenging the cosy and others by the acute promotion of equality of outcome, sustainability and accountability.
Facts first, then the ideology.
- Statement on behalf of Arthur Smyth allegedly abused as a boy by Louis Mountbatten, in Ireland. This is the first time allegations of paedophile abuse against the former Viceroy of India, head of the British Armed Forces, and great uncle of King Charles will be aired in court.
- Village will publish significant new evidence relating to the Tánaiste's 2019 leak of a confidential draft contract at 2pm tomorrow, Monday @BowesChay
- Long day for Village. Let's hope Leo Varadkar sues for defamation on Monday. His case would be - let's be fair - almost unstateable.
- Big mistake from Harris denying he signed the contract for the Children's Hospital: "of course I *didn't*". Could be biggest moment of campaign so far
- Extract from article about improper transfer by Leo Varadkar of draft IMO contract to his mate Matt Ó'Tuathail then-head of doctors' representative organisation, NAGP, a rival to the IMO. From Village's November magazine. In shops from this morning, Saturday #LeoTheLawbreaker
- Six years of campaigning journalism by David Burke in Village, probing the truth about the Kincora child sex-abuse cess-pit, approaches vindication as – this morning – another boy molested by Lord Mountbatten in Ireland tells his story... villagemagazine.ie/lord-mountbatt…
- We're sitting around here waiting for his writ to arrive. Can't even go to the shops.
- We must make a special effort not to forget those who lied about this
- Text from @LeoVaradkar to brother of an FG Cllr looking for medical help for injured #Irishaircorps personnel shows he DOES understand the Cabinet handbook forbids "going behind back of" other Ministers; and the demands of collective responsibility/cabinet confidentiality #Harris
- In 2016, Dee Forbes and Patrick Coveney (Rory's brother) were on the commercial board of Munster Rugby (MR) which was sponsored by Keary's Renault for whom Ryan Tubridy later hosted a Late Late Show. By 2019 Garrett Tubridy (Ryan's brother) was serving as Commercial Head of MR.
- Let's see if there's a backlash against Irish media's bitter failure to give Cosgrave credit for doing some of the most important things you should to do in public life: speaking the truth and standing up for humanitarian law and against war crimes #Gaza.
