Image: Rollingnews.ie TAOISEACH LEO VARADKAR has said he has spoken to TD Dara Murphy over the weekend about controversy relating to his expenses.
The matter was raised during Leaders’ Questions today when Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald read out a letter printed in The Irish Times by Father Peter McVerry.“I attended court with a young homeless boy who had been charged with theft of a bottle of orange, value €1.“Another homeless man was charged with theft of two packets of Silk Cut cigarettes.
“I understand that the Deputy in question will make a guest appearance today. He will be here, it seems, to save the bacon of the failed Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government. People deserve better than that. They deserve better than the nod-and-wink politics of jobs for the boys,” she told the Dáil.
“In this House we have a system that was designed by politicians for politicians, and this should change. I will write to the Ceann Comhairle and to the party leaders to suggest that this whole issue should not be a system run by ourselves for ourselves.
..and he is repaying it when?
Tell him to return the money he wrongfully claimed.
They smell an election, why did they not reform expenses from the beginning of their Dail term🧐🙃
Is he going to return the money? It's difficult to believe that he has got a job in the Commission. It makes one think about the EU and how they spend our money.
At least Robin Hood gave back to the poor LeoVaradkar
Say what you want about Sinn Feinn but they expose a lot of things we don’t know that is going on in government. I don’t know why they are not given a chance to lead the country especially now that Mary is leader, they have dramatically reformed and transformed themselves.
LeoVaradkar your party is rotten to the core
So he spoke to him....and What's the outcome?
And yet he is still in a job and getting paid for not showing up
BINGO ....HANDS OFF IT
You naughty naughty boy
Another bailey job tour bold and that's it vradkar has no balls he should have threw him out of the party and actually he should be sacked as a TD
Bye bye Dara taoisaoich represent position of irish people not mates boot 🤣
OMG ! poshboynonce thekingofponcesireland it was bit weird actually Leo watching you ya slippery little 😏 move 4 bucks in to parking spaces with NO elections in Ireland and not move rightrightright of darathedoubledip
Don’t be a bold boy it doesn’t look good for the party
Gangsters in suits
I actually thought Murphy and Murphy glamour puss had been taken away by an Alien 👽
Leo spoke to him dont worry anyone all is ok
What a Borris thing to say. Popularity seeking muppet!
Why has the revenue commissioners not investigated this - to claim business expenses you have to provide receipts and mileage claim forms! How can politicians earn €32k per annum tax free without receipts! Considering voting scandal how do we know they even turned up!
Is it Fraud LeoVaradkar
Murphy is a disgraceful fraud
It's gardainfo that should be talking to him.
They'll all kick off if the expenses are touched,, I can foresee expenses going through the roof over attendance,,
And leo has probably given him a raise and told him there no need to pay back the expenses
Lowest of the low - Murphy.
the EU is run by idiots who waste taxpayers money to have fun , so this is not very surprising , the EU is corrupt at every level
...'ah dam!!!,, we've been caught stuffing our already bloated income in a manner which could/should be deemed ILLEGAL!!!! Better call for REFORM before th SHEEP get woken up/startled/frightened/panicked!!!!!'
Some of the highest paid politicians in Europe and the most ineffective.. Snouts in the trough the lots of them.... Only half a dozen decent td's across all the party's...
What did he say?
Probably the same time he was making sure he’d be available for tonight’s vote Murphyout NoConfidence GE19Irl ChrisrmasElection
After they're caught red handed. If an election wasnt around the corner we'd get some spin about how it was all above board etc.
I suspect Dara told Leo to get lost. I did everything I am entitled to do. I did not break the law. We all vote for rubbish like this. We can all name them...
only because they got caught fiddling
