Devils Advocate: It's possible that he didn't know there was food.  The Indo link I posted earlier about the tickets said you could bring a guest.  If someone else bought the tickets and he was a guest just for the golf only, he might not have realised there was dinner afterwards.

Maybe some newspaper will post photos over the weekend.  It might have been a formal dinner and they wore tuxedos?  Then it would be hard to deny.  I wonder if the hotel had security cameras in the ballroom/dinner area?

I'm not so sure....if you invited a guest to something like that, you would surely mention that there would be chicken and chips on the go after in case they had other arrangements.

The Irish Hotels Federation got a mention earlier...  (a bit of buck-passing)

https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-40035683.html

The Irish Hotels Federation has said that the current public health guidelines for indoor gatherings "are clear" and allow for 50 people with no intermingling.

The statement from the Irish Hotels Federation said: "Further to the Government announcement on Tuesday in relation to Covid-19 restrictions, we sought clarification on a number of issues from the Department of Tourism. "In line with the protocol agreed with the Department, we advised all members that the status quo remains in terms of current operational procedures for hotels until further notice. The current guidelines around capacity at an indoor event are clear.  "They permit a maximum of 50 people at any one time including hotel staff and any other event support workers. "Multiple gatherings are allowed in venue facilities provided they are in separate defined spaces and there are systems to prevent intermingling in common spaces (e.g. entrances, exits and toilet facilities). "We are expecting that the updated operational guidelines will be published by Fáilte Ireland and the Department of Tourism early next week.  "Compliance with the published operational guidelines is the responsibility of each individual hotel. We encourage all hotels to ensure that they are fully compliant with the operational guidelines."

He is a Supreme Court Judge attending a POLITICAL EVENT how the fuck can he be impartial .If lets say the Government decide all front line workers MUST be vaccinated and some of them take a constitutional review ,would you want a mate of the Government sitting in Judgement .

How much of this did meehawl know about? This annual outing must be an occasion to be talked about in the halls of govt buildings and Leinster House. It seems customary practice that former Taoisaigh become honorary members. So let's not kid ourselves that the chat around the place wasn't in the order of "oh I hear the big bash is on tomorrow etc". Martin is bound to have known, never mind that he was probably invited himself . Being the big dick and all.

I believe the partition was removed for the speeches which makes a mockery of the whole idea.

The judge and Big Phil say they didnt know there was grub .I would love to see the tickets bet they said golf and dinner and prize presenting .RTE steering miles clear of the JUDGE .Plenty of people on not dealing with the actual issue .

Sent the European Minister for Food an email, awaiting his reply, even though the text did not require one.
