#golfgate Question for Mr Brian Hayes, please name the 3 “Vulture Fund” guests who joined you for the Oireachtas Golf/Dinner in Clifden????

[David Hall @davidhall75]

Banks & Vulture funds have told the central bank that 2/3 of the 26,000 households in long term mortgage arrears will lose their homes . We are sleep walking into chaos if we ignore this & believe the spin from politicians & commentators . 48,000 people !

[Paddy Cosgrave @paddycosgrave]

Thanks to all those in 2020 who stood up to cronyism, dysfunction & abuse of power, in all it's forms

Thanks to all those who were whistleblowers, campaigners, crusaders, advocates & activists

You demand better for all of us & often at significant personal cost

RESPECT❤️

I don't know if there's a breaking point everyone has with the lockdown cycle, but I've reached mine. This farce has gone on far too long already, and it's turning us all into quivering wrecks, terrified of the nightly news.

Newstalk have described @EchoChambersPod as the “nothing podcast that nobody listens to" - except it’s actually a chart topper

So that’s pretty much the best review possible for 99% of everyone in Ireland

So do yourself a favour and subscribe

@paddycosgrave . . . Zero coverage of Ed Honohan’s heroic efforts to highlight deficiencies in legoslation and/or the treatment of distressed borrowers by both the bailed-out banks and vulture funds. #vultureculture

Do you know of someone whose had a story of significant public interest that was spiked or suppressed or ignored by anyone in RTE, Irish Times, Irish Indo etc

I'm interested in evidence of ethically questionable journalistic or editorial practices. DM me

Thanks 🙏

[Paddy Cosgrave @paddycosgrave]

Being a positive Irish citizen means you believe a better Ireland is possible

Your positivity terrifies the status quo. They want more of the same, u want better

They call criticism "negativity", but it's not. It's positivity

Never stop being positive. All change depends on it

.@ireland_thinks polls shows that in July @FineGael’s support was 46% higher than support for @sinnfeinireland

38% versus 26%

Just 4 months later FG’s huge lead of 46% has completely collapsed

It’s a quite incredible collapse. Sometimes naked cronyism doesn’t pay I guess💰

[John Moran, Mayor of Limerick @moranjohna1]

Big news today. Our new Institute has launched with its inaugural event. 10 years after the troika, arrears still linger in the system unresolved. Join us to hear how new thinking could help alleviate the issues for 25,000+ long term mortgage arrears. https://t.co/LdUt7wntvH

[Chay Bowes @BowesChay]

There’s nothing like a man of his word. A man of integrity that you can trust to stick to his guns, who knows the people want change. A man who above all wants a Taoiseach’s pension, a man like ⁦@MichealMartinTD⁩

It may be the PRACTICE to bring just one name to Cabinet, but the LAW says SEVEN #golfgate

[Paddy Cosgrave @paddycosgrave]

Luckily for @LeoVaradkar someone kept his texts. Leo may claim not to know the date he leaked a highly confidential document, but thankfully his texts seem to indicate that actual date. Morto.

Fianna Fail TD calls for Micheal Martin to step aside as Taoiseach in fiery private party meeting - Irish Mirror Online https://t.co/doDIK1k77o

“Aaah go on Micheál, I’ll owe you one!”

[Gene Kerrigan @GeneKerrigan]

OK, the message is clear.
If you've access to confidential documents, and you think it a good thing to pass them to someone else, you are free to do so.
It's not "best practice" but go right ahead.
The Taoiseach, the Tanaiste and their parties approve this message.
DMs open.
