Mr Donohoe has been under huge pressure from the Opposition who insist questions remain after his Dáil statement on Wednesday, particularly surrounding whether or not he needs to amend his Sipo declarations for the 2020 election.There were reports over the weekend that the new issue, related to his 2020 disclosure, is not as significant as the omission of a donation in 2016 worth a total of €1,240 from Michael Stone.
In an interview with RTÉ Radio’s This Week programme, Mr Martin said he would not “pre-empt” what Mr Donohoe will tell the Dáil on Tuesday but added: “He does want to bring complete clarity to this.”Mr Martin said: “Whilst obviously adhering to the regulations and the rules and so forth I think balance and perspective is called for when assessing this issue.”
He said it is “not as simple” as some in the Opposition have “mistakenly” suggested in their commentary.
I think Mr Martin and his party colleagues are petrified of upsetting Leo or any of the FG cartel. Sad really when you think of how strong FF used to be. Now they’re just lackeys for FG.
Couldn't answer on the day he was asked so needs a week to get his bull💩 story straight
MichealMartinTD has confidence that if he continues to support FineGael shenanigans, Deeds of Daring Do & Skullduggery, this Coalition of chaos will continue. Besides fiannafailparty just picked up 4% from FG in the latest poll, he can't be seen to be in greatful
All the regulatory bodies and it took a small magazine to get the story 😆😆😆

BKNT Right of to purgatory,👹 The same supporter gained government contracts, etc. to the value of € millions.. according to reporting. This is an issue. SIPO and the legislation around it is not fit for purpose. This is an issue. Govt deflecting to SIPO is an issue. There are more issues than expenses. I'd say if Pearse was in Paschal's shoes the economy would be in tatters...

Heather Humphreys accuses Sinn Féin of setting up 'kangaroo court' against Paschal DonohoeThe minister said that Sinn Féin wasn’t affording Donohoe due process and seeking to act as ‘judge, jury and executioner’ against him. The money is one think but the jobs for the boys, blatant nepotism is the killer for me 'Scrutiny & accountability is only for the plebs & opposition; not for us' When a politician exchanges favours with a businessman by granting him important roles in different institutions that's called corruption. That's exactly what happened here. Humphreys and FG are normalising this in Irish politics 🙄

Miriam Lord’s week: Backbench bruiser Barry pulls his punches on Paschal’s misstepsBarry Cowen started off by saying very nice things about Paschal. Then moved on to say even nicer things I continue my belief that being a politician can be a noble purpose in life and think it is something a parent should encourage and explain to their children. Legislating is a healthy form of debate from professionals. Thank you kindly, IRISH! 🫀 That child will be open-minded. Brian Cowen was a bruiser not sure his younger brother has ever done much to earn that reputation. Like the rest of the FF party he is eager to fall into line behind micheal and his strategy of merger with FG. Barry is an enigma & embarrassingly one of my local TD'S, albeit no one I know has ever met him. He spent a lot of time whinging about how he was treated by MichealMartinTD led a pack of disgruntled fiannafailparty TD'S who were 2 cowardly 2 act & now the Rascals best buddy 🤢
