Has to be Moscow Mick
Ah here
Has anyone informed Russia that we are neutral? /s
Any synopsis?
Not to be sensationalist but shit like this shows that while we think ourselves neutral, The Russians definitely don’t see it that way
Synopsis of the article.
During the Brexit talks, Russian intelligence successfully recruited an Irish politician, codenamed “Cobalt,” through a honeytrap operation, aiming to exploit tensions between Britain, Ireland, and the EU. Despite being identified by Irish military and security services, Cobalt remains active in parliament and has yet to face legal consequences. Cobalt met with Sergey Prokopiev, a Russian spy, and allegedly offered to connect the Russians with Northern Ireland paramilitaries, furthering Moscow’s destabilization efforts. While no direct payments were made to Cobalt, his internet history and travel patterns were used for kompromat. Russian intelligence viewed Cobalt as a useful, easily influenced figure to disrupt public debate and promote Kremlin interests during a critical political period.
After all the accusations of Mick Wallace and Clare Daly being Russian assets, how funny would it be if this turns out to be a Fine Gaeler. The Times are calling the asset by the codename ‘Cobalt’ and there’s only one party in the Dáil with blue shirts that I’m aware of!
Spied on what? An Irish politician wouldn’t have access to British secrets? The trifle of incompetents that the British sent to negotiate weren’t exactly judicious with airing their intentions.
Well that’s concerning
Jesus Christ! That’s Seamus O’Bourne!
Jesus, 68 people are here. Reddit Ireland’s got more pundits than CP’s
This is treason.
Whoever it may be, they are currently a sitting member of the Dail or Seanad:
>”The Irish military and security services identified the agent but, remarkably, **they are still at large in the country’s parliament.**”
Given the fact they receive a healthy salary from taxpayers money, I think the identity of the culprit needs to be exposed.
I don’t want to pay for Kremlin spies.
Years from now we discover the alarming truth. Putin is only a puppet and it’s the Healy-Rae’s pulling his strings all along.
Please idly speculate here, one of ye has to be right.
Would be fun if it’s the one that is a spy for the UK.
Not to diminish those Russian bastards interfering in our democracy, but it’s long suspected the Brits have had similar agents in Dail Éireann as well.
