  1. Has Sharon Keogan refuted any link yet? She has the profile of a potential asset of Moscow.

    If this whole Russian agent story ends up being untrue, there has to be consequences. If it is true we need some serious reforms. A thorough security check of every member of the oireachtas would do no harm.

  3. So how many of these cunts have been fucking us over for foreign interests?

    What should the consequences look like for anyone found to be hurting us?

    It’s absolutely true. To believe otherwise is naive. They’ve been fucking around in our coastal waters for years. no question they have agents over here.

  5. If I wanted to cause maximum disruption, I would leak that there was a spy in the Oireachtas, refuse to elaborate, and leave.

    This story needs to wind up. Either the DPP prosecutes, or the Taoiseach asks for a resignation, or the Guards refute the allegation. We can’t have this cloud hanging over our entire elected assembly.

    Fucking full on McCarthyite ‘Red Scare’ in Ireland.

    This kind of bullshit is destructive to Democracy – the worst US import into Irish politics so far.
