Tánaiste Leo Varadkar Image: Sam Boal/RollingNews.ie Tánaiste Leo Varadkar Image: Sam Boal/RollingNews.ie TÁNAISTE LEO VARADKAR has been criticised for attending a music festival in London this weekend.
However, festivals such as Electric Picnic – which was due to take place this weekend – were cancelled. Interesting that Leo Varadkar has come to a festival in the UK today, while failing to commit to a plan for the Irish entertainment industry. pic.twitter.com/J8ErLh4x9HA spokeswoman for Varadkar said the Tánaiste is currently in the UK “on private time, where such events are allowed”.

Mark Graham, who produces the Irish Music Industry Podcast, tweeted: “On the weekend that Electric Picnic was meant to be on, here is Leo Varadkar at the unsegregated full-on full capacity Might Hoopla Festival London. Entry with Covid passport or PCR test. Angry? Please let him and his colleagues who have crippled our entertainment industry know.”
I'm highly critical of the government and their cronies but I notice most people criticising leo are the same people who say if you're vaccinated you should have complete freedom
He will always be a hypocrite like most of them in Dail. Varadkar has said that he hasn't taken any illegal drugs other than cannabis. Could we please adopt Spainish laws. Spain allow personal grow x2 plants. 500 cannabis clubs. SPAIN is also catholic and also part EU.
LExhib1 We'll probably get another fake apology again we shouldn't put up with this we as the voters have the power to get Leo out so let's do it ResignLeo ResignLeo
All his bots are on the case.
He would be criticised for picking his nose ... oh ..ok
A couple months ago people were going off to sunny Spain on their holidays in the middle of a pandemic.
why was govt jet in London?
Do as we say, not as we do.....
Electricity picnic haaaaaaw!
And he deserves it, that’s wrong.
Labouring this. Will the press concentrate on matters of importance? No wonder people are placing less and less credence on the press.
I’ve been waiting longer than expected for us to finally reach the sorry stage we’re now at with Leo Varadkar. Finally, we’re subjected to nonsense stating the only reason people criticise the Tanaiste is race & sexuality. Good news is it means we’re near to the end of him. Leo
If this was a Festival Republic gig, at anytime was there a conversation about pay and conditions of local crew?
Did he use the government jet to get back from his nose-picking jaunt? ResignLeo
The question here is did the government jet pick Leo up this morning,
Hope he had a great time, fec the begrudgers, Leo
And apparently used the govt jet to go
Im sure most people have more important things to worry about besides Leo on his day off ! Anyone gets a spare ticket for the match let me know 👍🏼🍎🍏 COVID19 leovaradkar VaccinePassports mayovtyrone allirelandfinal
He used the Private Jet
Did he use the government jet as his owm personal taxi service
More bull from the press.
Who cares
Why are they CRITICISING LEO, my husband went to Manchester to see a truckfest last weekend,there was nothing on here about it..journal_ie needs some proper news,
Criticised by who? Political point scorers and trolls? Hardly reflective of real people...
Good man Leo, you never could resist rubbing our noses in it.
This is a shocking disgrace. He’s a member of the Government that isn’t allowing these events happen in Ireland. I suppose he’ll be making another fool of the Attorney General again by wheeling him out ?
“Government Minister who didn’t agree with Banning EP goes to Music Festival in London” Last I checked, Laois County Council were the ones who didn’t grant the licence, no?
It was only a concert in what Leo considers the Mainland 🇬🇧 FineGael
Well done Leo you deserve a break hope you had a good weekend 🍺
He couldn’t attend meeting to discuss the reopening of the entertainment industry here in Ireland (when asked to do so on numerous locations) but he can jump on a plane and go support the GB industry giving them his money. ResignLeo
How has he not resigned yet? This is mind blowing; a leader of government cancels a festival here, then goes to one himself in another country. ResignLeo
Why is he being criticised? Everyone knows he’s a liar and speaks out of both sides of his mouth ! He’s just another “do as I say not as I do” politician in this country and knows he’ll get away with it. He’s as corrupt as they come 😡
Wouldn’t quite throw him out with the bath water yet. He is liberal and pro LGBTI and lots of Dubliners like that. His very popular in Dublin.
NERO returns.
I'm sick of the site of this prick
Love loves the Lines Leothelion
Some bluffer
Always something with this Indian Variant ..it really is time to ResignLeo
Leave the man alone FFS. Is he not entitled to have a social life
Resign --- Oh, I forgot --- you need a sense of shame to resign - ( SEE : e.g, Japanese PM)- as opposed to ' a neck like a jockey's balls'
His like the heads in croke park love showing the irish people how they can abuse their powers and nothing the guards and courts can do about it talk about white coler crimes against the irish people who did everything they could by not over crowding in certain settings, shame.
imagine if we all could get on some sort of flying machine and go to a concert in another country Leo figured out how to do it
Who is criticising? This is just getting farce like at the moment. Get onto real news. I mean, it’s not like we’re short of things we need to work on?
He travelled to London for an event that was sanctioned over there….what’s the problem?
Seriously? What a nation of curtain twitchers we have become.
He knows how to pick em
Am I allowed to travel to London to attend this event?
Don’t why people think he’s doing what we cannot - we can all go to the uk to a festival/concert - it is allowed over there. Those giving out have probably done so and worse already! LeoVaradkar
So? Another in your face moment for you. He won't resign nor will be ousted
Will that finger have to quarantine 👆
shame on LIE-o va-RAT-kar for PICKING HIS NOSE in a GLOBAL PANDEMIC
I am outraged. Actually no, I’m looking for a ticket for Croker next week. Might watch it in the pub instead.
Leo Antoinette. ResignLeo
While everyone is entitled to a private life, this simply underlines Varadkar’s poor judgement and tone deafness.
Of course he did 🙄🙄 Expect nothing less..
👀
One rule for the them and one rule for the peasants
The forever outraged will knock some mileage out of this
Do as I say not do as I do, thats LeoVaradkar motto. Enough of this parasite MichealMartinTD FineGael ResignLeo SackLeo MerrionGate Merrion50 Zapponism
Maybe he prefers dancing to an English tune...?
coming to expect nothing less really
TJ_Politics Criticised by some losers. Hope he had a great time.
Just leave him alone!
