We were not told where this meeting took place.

It should have taken place at the office of the Prime Minister in Castille.

But from the looks of it – and how this news has been published the day after without the press knowing that this meeting was taking place – it is possible this was one of those meetings which Joseph Muscat organises at 10.00 pm – like his visit to a Magistrate in Siggiewi some years ago. Maybe this time he went to Dalli’s Portomaso apartment.

When and where is the next mass by Dun Gorg to thank the Lord for the closure of this case due to be held?

Dalli claims his cabinet were informed of his private trip, but not before it took place, specifically because he erroneously included his Bahamas ticket stub with all his travel receipts for the EC’s verification. Since the private flight could not be refunded, Dalli was handed the stub back.

‘Mr Dalli said he had gone over the whole story with the Prime Minister and even showed him some documents which he was unable to give to the press due to “professional secrecy”’.

One wonders whether those documents were stuffed in a brown envelope just like Lorry Sant’s ‘documents’.

We really, really need to know more about John Dalli’s relationship with Joseph Muscat. Any other prime minister would have by now done what José Manuel Barroso did and thrown John Dalli to the wolves.

And yet everyone derided Sant’s incessant talk of barunijiet.

Professional secrecy should include the prime minister. I think that you can only give such information on court order.

“Prime Minister Joseph Muscat had a one hour meeting with Former EU Commissioner John Dalli in which they discussed the latest controversy over his trips to the Bahamas and agreed there would be “no change” to his consultancy position at Mater Dei.”

I also expect Simon Busuttil to look into the matter and issue a statement accordingly.

With all the scum slowly rising to the surface, I – and all those who had put our trust in the Nationalist Party – deserve some kind of an explanation as to how all this went on “unchecked”. Failing that, I can only draw my own conclusion on the matter, and it’s not a pretty one at that.
