Taoiseach Leo Varadkar considered cutting compensation for victims of the hepatitis C scandal to save money, a leaked government memo reveals.reports that, when he was Minister for Health, Mr Varadkar secretly proposed removing redress entitlements of family members affected by contaminated blood transfusions.
It was stressed that the proposal should remain secret to avoid publicity and a new wave of claims from dependents.The memorandum reads:"The Minister for Health considers it important that the drafting of the legislation remains secret to protect the financial interests of the State. "In light of the above, the Minister for Health is seeking that the drafting of this legislation be prioritised."to introduce legislation to restrict the powers of the hepatitis C compensation tribunal.
He's a tramp, he doesn't do things the Irish way!!!
His eyes say it clearly, he hates this country and its people!
LeoVaradkar
Somebody needs to go to jail
paddyb_ireland Blueshirts will always be Blueshirts
HE did it Leo DID IT
Do they not check blood?
Get this government out ASAP, how many more fucking scandals is it going to take for people to demand them to stand down.
How does a minister 'secretly propose' they either propose or they don't..
Despicable horrible people and a bunch of cowards!
I think its abundantly clear now that Leo Varadkar lacks empathy almost completely. He is occasionally forced to put on a care-face expression, usually after he's been caught red handed but 99.9% of the time its arrogant, glib diversions & lies.
It’s no wonder that only 15% of the electorate support this incompetent guys party.. he lacks ability, leadership qualities and integrity… it’s time for a change!!
Pales into insignificance when compared with the widespread harms caused by the utterly disastrous mRNA 'vaxes'.
a General election would be swell then we hopefully wouldn't have three fossils clinging to power. kind of annoying being pissed at three different leaders due to a disrupted general election from a pandemic
Sue his sorry ass...no point in piss arsing about it. Victims need to get solicitors and go to town on that bollix. If this was America he'd be in jail aswell
Don.t ever forget Michael Noonan's involvement. F.G. doesn't appear to change.
Is there a new boss at newsatalk? Surprised this have been reported
Leo aka Dr Death import this problem from Africa, he's replacing us Irish with aids riddle Afragens
What a despicable jumped up little non-entity, our esteemed leader 🤮
I hope people don't start complaining because, according to himself it's not the Irish way
He's the worst ever in Irish politics. A dangerous unwanted dictator if he got away with it . He demeans the office of Taoiseach like n9 other,ever. Mr 5 counts should be well gone, the great divider. Some Doctor, patients are lucky he's a politician.

What about this....
LeoVaradkar is an abhorrent human & is unfit to lead this country.
I'd say that fella is toast but can you imagine what the covid 18 lad will be like because he's coming
More than shameful, pure evil, I would say.
JoeBrolly1993 If true, that's the elite mindset.
Disgraceful,,,,should be sacked
The more woke the politician, the bigger the bstard is the rule!
The buck always stops with Leo
And yet anytime he’s on your station he gets an easy ride, no hard questions at all
Never ceases to surprise with his vileness
JoeBrolly1993 Easy to suggest when you're not affected by this, when you have a very good income, when you do not appear to consider or wonder even at the effects of losing parents very early on, on other Irish citizens. Though maybe I am wrong, maybe you worried deeply about people affected.
How is he leading the country
He's absolutely horrible. The worst we've ever had.
LeoVaradkar your a nonce
Why does newstalk protect him then
Not to mention the other elephant in the room.
But they are giving free vaccines 😂😂😂😂😂Wakey Wakey people
All rigged. Distraction2keep us divided,confused&unstable,spoonfed2us by corrupt media.Govt or fake opposition dont rep us, they take instruction from the paymasters. As we can c w Illogical mass immigration,corruption&misspending of taxes&selling state assets BreadAndCircuses
Sociopath
The unspoken truth is that the state will wait out as many of these citizens as they can to save money. To the elected and appointed, it’s business; a strategy as old as the state itself.
Why are Ireland still advertising and actively promoting pregnant women and children to get boosted, when other Countries are saying different. A huge scandal in the making …😞
He has to resign.
This lad is against irish people
Stop sharing dirty needles
Looks like the knives are out for aul leaky...
Leo always delivers. Apart from delivering reparations to tax paying irish people who's lives they have ruined due to the irish tory party's ineptitude. At least boris Johnson was consistent.
The leader of the Irish Tory party planned to shaft irish people who lives they ruined and many have died. Same with the over charged nursing home people. A disgrace of a man. A disgrace of a party.
JoeBrolly1993 Crooks the lot of them
Once you get past the spin Varadkar is just another ruthless Tory, like.the rest of FG
Starting to look like a witch hunt. Newstalk is starting to look like it has an angle backed by a vested interest. No balance!! Only began when our Taoiseach switched over before Christmas.
Dr Crippen has to go now the failure that keeps giving what a waste of space when Tusla are exposed after the public enquiry more cost to the state
Just get him out of government 🙄
Our Taoiseach daoine uaisle. He's so Irish isn't he? He really loved us and wants the best for us doesn't he? Aren't you all glad you're like Leo when you don't go to mass or Confession? He's so wholesome nach ea?
Is he going to cut the compensation for the covid 19 vaccine injured (VICTIMS) ... sorry just remembered there is no compensation scheme for them.
That’s Harold shipman stuff! Straight up murder!
Fine Gael Cheats, Cheat us All! FineGaelCheats LeoOut
Oh my. I thought was finally being fair by being honest but it looks like it's going after Leotheleak. He's caused too much damage to right-wing greed, I suppose. We'll know for sure when the Indorag joins in.
Won't quickly forget the two years when you were labelled a 'conspiracy theorist' for pointing out that these people do not give a fuck about your health.
But arnt we supposed to trust them.
What a leader..,
Nasty piece of shoddy work that cowboy
Account for yourself and your position Leo!!!
Scumbag. Utter scumbag LeoVaradkar
These people don’t care about you and are pure evil
'Putting money back in the Government's pocket'
The more stories that break about Mr Varadkar. What’s in store could be worse though, Mr Sutherlands apprentice will really have some fun with immigration.
Wrong
He'd never do that. He is a Doctor!
He's a dirtbird
paulmurphy_TD Leo the leak
Vile basterd!
What sort of Dr is this individual, there should be no doubt that this individual deserves nothing more than a cell and a prison number.
In other words he did his job
Yeah, but that pales in comparison to attempting to commemorate the RIC and their Special Reserve, the Black and Tans!
He really is a scumbag
He and his party are scum, along with FF they've sold out Ireland, shown nothing but contempt for our people and failed a nation with lies & dishonesty, sadly opposition aren't much better.
Even the devil looks at this piece of work in disgust.
How a trained doctor can have so little empathy for the most vulnerable people he's supposed to represent always amazes me. But I suppose there are scumbags in all walks of life. FFGOUTNOW
He's some piece of garbage...
Uh-oh, newstalk are reporting it! Looks like its another tricky week ahead for leo. The scandals are coming out so quickly now we aren't even properly moving past the last one.
Of course he did.
NiallMc10 how is this man not behind bars, I mean I wouldn't be opposed to a pair of concrete slippers for the lad, he despises the working class
What a piece of work is Leo Varadkar.
I don't think the idea was to cut payments to the unfortunate victims themselves, just to try to bring an end to an ever rolling sequence of payments to heirs! In any case, the proposal was cut off at the pass and never saw the light o say again, thankfully!
Not a day passes and this fella is wrapped up in some scandal.
Long passed his marching orders
Surely this is a resigning matter?
He is just dirt
There's a surprise..
This is a man wholly devoid of empathy or humanity... and, for a Fine Gaeler, with scant respect legal rights or the rule of law
Nice guy LeoVaradkar
In fairness, families go mental here and try scam for ten of millions. And then we wonder why insurance is so high.
He's a parasite on society ,especially those who are not too well off. The reality though, is all FG politicians must think along the same lines as him, their supporters the same. Not one of them have publicly criticised him over the revelations of the past few weeks.
Once Corrupt always Corrupt, it must be in his blood.
Shameful.
This fellas as ad as Charlie Haughey
Surprized u lot have found a backbone to report this !
Hark.....is that a chicken coming home to roost? LeoTheMiser. rte newstalk thejournal_ie IrishTimes Independent_ie PatKennyNT
Scumbag. No other word for that low life
LeoVaradkar
Jesus, what next?
Horrible piece of furniture
These people are evil
At this stage I would doubt his fitness to practice medicine when his political career is dead.
This is indefensible
Nothing will happen of course. People can protest as much as they like, scandals and more scandals appear but this government doesn't bat an eyelid they don't care and that's the jist of it.
Actually stunned you’re reporting this!
Pond life
How is this piece of shi£ still on our payroll
Does this guy have a single saving grace?
It's just sick, v sick decision making....wait till people realize the experimental injections are causing excess deaths and infertility....at the same time unprecedented mass unvetted immigration happening
Him and Martin knew this was coming. That’s why they are defending historic redress.
News talk starting to realise they are heading for a cliff leashed to FF/FG
Chilling
Much for me and none for thee - Varadkar's motto.
Good job he gave up the doctoring game. Imagine his bedside manner? 'Sorry, love. But you're fucked. I'll just put this pillow over your face for a bit and you'll be grand. By the way. Where's your purse?'
Yeah, read it in the Irish daily mail..... Another scamdemic
Is anyone really surprised? His tactic of deflection onto Sinn Fein won't work this time Heartless character
How does someone proven to be so corrupt have the position he has?
Awful specimen 🤬
LeoVaradkar resign leotheliar disgusting
Can this corrupt rat please be removed Enough is enough he is toxic!!
LeoVaradkar is a virus and needs to go.
This man has to go....yesterday
LeoVaradkar is anti Irish ☘️ And corrupt B0llox
He truly is a despicable gowlbag An utter disgrace to this country No wonder his own electorate did t want him a d it took multiple counts A decent man would resign But he’s not decent
wickedfairysad What a guy. The gift that keeps on giving!
Cold fish
Rotton to.the core
We need him gone! finegaelcheats
Nothing surprises me anymore with this clown. Only thing he’s good for is lining his own pockets and turning the nation against eachother.
But it’s ok coz he’s comfortable with it
LeoVaradkar
I'm ashamed as an Irish man that we put up/don't get rid with people like this when it comes to making major decisions that affect the vast population! That goes for both the general public and the opposition! The fighting irish or theflakyirish
Scandal after scandal after scandal with this lot. They are rotten to the core. The corruption is rife. When is the General Election?
You’d have to question the motives and mentality of a health minister who would contemplate such a dirty and sneaky move.
Who comes up with this stuff.. you’ve been losing every week for a long time now.. SF numpty?
Jesus the bottom of that barrel keeps getting deeper
A dangerous man , built his career on punching down at the most vulnerable. Welfare cheats etc. rtenews not interested.
Ever the gent
why the surprise? LeoVaradkar removed the mandatory element from the 2015 Open Disclosure legislation. He is fundamentally opposed to an honest & open approach to health service failings. MichealMartinTD facilitated this.
How in heaven's name is he still in a job, never mind the Taoiseach of our country & they have the neck to say the public shouldn't fall for propaganda unless it's Government propaganda I guess. Worst FG leader in history of party
One horrible man has to be in your dna …
This guy is fucking evil personified.
Poison
Soulless EU sycophant who care not for Ireland or it’s people. Pure pantomime.
LEO is finally 👍 ready for The State Mental ASYLUM
Needs to stage another snogging video.
Varadkar is a morally bankrupt cretin
LeoVaradkar out
Here's s Varadkar on IrishAirCorps chemical exposure tragedy. 100dead from untimely deaths with 6% Cardiomyopathy, 5% Pancreatic Cancer & 15% suicide is normal & the courts the best places to eh...provide medical intervention to save lives. 🙄
His day is approaching fast at an International Military tribunal for crimes against humanity. We The People will never let the few murder the masses again. Not one of the Traitors will escape international military justice. The law of War manual revised is now in full swing.
Soulless.
Sick thing about Leo, he cuts spending on helping sick people, kids with scoliosis etc and then lashes it out on social welfare and anything else that’s left wing populist. Same for Guards and defence forces, stripped to the bone.
'Leo the leak' caught out by a 'leak'. The phrase 'familiarity breeds contempt' applies to him. FG made a huge mistake putting this fella in charge, imo. All that glitters is not gold. He is a spent force. Like Irish politics in general, imho.
His kind lacks empathy. Not having children explains a lot
Maggie would be so proud
Varadkar is a monster
Too sweet to be wholesome always applied here . All coming out in the wash now .
An absolute scum bag of the highest order. People poisoned by the state, lives ruined and this lad looking to fleece them like the overcharged elderly. Meanwhile he runs around night clubs looking to grab a young fella half his age. Roll on G.E.
WEF puppet he is untouchable
