Embarrassment of Leo

38 replies

So embarrassed at Leo and partner's terrible behaviour at the coronation. The Instagram messages? Not using a hanky? I couldn't care less about the event itself but if you're going to go, at least keep a low profile. I'm disgusted with them. All this after the picture of Leo shifting someone in the George who barely looked 18. Not a Fine Gael supporter but surely they need someone representing them who knows how to behave in public.

Am I correct in thinking the grass roots Fine Gaelers wanted Coveney but the parliamentary party chose Leo ?

Yeah that's right.

The "slow learners" comment is the absolute pits from Leo.

I hope his party oust him as party leader, he's beyond a joke.

This comment is the worst. I never imagined he would even stoop this low.
Hundreds of thousands of people in Ireland are struggling with physical & intellectual disabilities.. His party have kept these vulnerable groups severely underfunded. These people have to try so much bloody harder than the rest of us just to function & live their lives.. And our leader, our Taoiseach has the absolute gall to use our vulnerable population in jest to get one over on Sinn Féin..
The very man who is rapidly trying to bring in the hate speech law.. What a hypocrite. Practice what you preach Leo & let Simon Coveney take over the reins.

Well done to Sinn Féins Pauline Tully for giving him a bollocking yet he is refusing to apologise for his comments.

God, I never thought we'd see the day a Tory elitist was running the country. Wtf has happened.
No shinner, but hell we're wanting for old labour.

Sonicgirl56 · 24/05/2023 23:35

I'm not one either, don't know what way I'll vote going forward.. More likely an independent.. The main parties in Ireland are all too alike & all have their woke agendas.
This awful comment however is the lowest, how dare he target & use our more vulnerable (valued & loved) sector of society in jest.
Completely lacking in empathy & so out of touch with society. Hard to believe our Taoiseach, a highly educated doctor would be so insensitive to the intellectually disabled.

Wasn't he quoting comments made about Sinn Féin after the Good Friday Agreement rather than just coming up with them himself?

Yeah but it's still a disgraceful comment.

Fucking hell.🤦‍♀️

A comment from 25 years ago that was as disgusting & indefensible then as it is now.
There is no going back after this. This is the same man who is always crying out about vulnerable groups being targeted.
Remember how upset Leo got about Michael Healy Raes "Airy fairy" comment in the Dáil? Well his "slow learners" comment is on an entirely different level...

Watch this clip of him in the Dail yesterday refusing to apologise. Well done to SFs Pauline Tully for giving him a well deserved bollocking over his disgusting comment.
