No, I'm saying the full import of what he'd done wasn't reported, and the piece where the incident was reported was dressed up in such a fashion as to almost trivialise it into a clerical error. Given what was known at the time it was far worse than that.
And given what he'd done his subsequent elevation by the devious Varadkar in 2020 showed it all up in a very stark light indeed.
But if you want to try portray it otherwise fill your boots. It's what you do when it comes to whether or not FFG Ministers and public reps are held to account.
