And shadow NGO Minister Dr Lucy Michael (to the right of Leo in this pic).
You know what to do next election, folks.
How fun
Whatever it is about old pictures of Iarnród Éireann trains, there’s always a smack of nostalgia off that shade of orange.
You know it’s old when Coveney has a full head of hair.
And he goes on to steal the main seat years later from coveny real game of thrones shit that is. 
Please respect his privacy he’s just trying to get off a train

Jaysus, they get into it early dont they. Not a chance that at the age of 19 I would have been out campaigning
Is Leo the one far right?
He was shifting nobody at that time
Chad
Same oul big head on him, I’d say he must’ve been an awful dose at that age- the type to tell the teacher she forgot to check the homework
Witness VIP pass heads on them.
Apparently Leo loves 19 year olds.
OP: “look little leo”
Reddit: “bang of nostalgia from that orange paint…is it run off steam, electric or diesel?”
Lol. I love the Internet and this sub reddit. I’ve never laughed so hard.
Which one is Leo?
Looks like an ad for esat digifone
Love them old IE Trains..good memories.
God, I hate his muggy face
Scumsack himself
Leo is a 🔝 G
I can’t even fathom the mind that would be drawn to Young Fine Gael.
Imagine being a teenager and outing yourself as the worst kind of virgin
This reminds me of brainwashed Mormon kids that would be in some sort of “glee club” like you’d see in the films!
Who are the 2 with him?
Looked like a smug prick then too
Young scum
Ouch Micheal aswell 💀
They look like the Hitler youth
Was that back when he was strongly against marriage equality?
Let’s shift!
What a dweeb
He was and is the smugest male in Ireland.
Flashbacks to getting those trains to school. We’d be sticking our heads out the window, it’s a mercy none of us were killed. The trains on a morning would be packed and I always got stuck in between where the carriages joined. Sometimes the rubber surrounding was ripped and you could see the ground whizz past through the gaps. There was also the fun of jumping on or off the trains as they were pulling in to the station.
Looks like an Ad for a dodgy cult
Which it kinda is
Best part of that whole thing is Fine Gael TDs claiming to be making Ireland work for “normal people” as Simon Coveney returned home from a round the world sailing trip to go for his fathers seat in the Dail, I dont know anyone whos life story sounds like that.
Ah he is a dote
I have now reached the point of old age that the smarmy students union dickheads no-one liked when we knew them in university are running the fucking country.
I bet the 2022 edition wishes he had a time machine so he could go back and shift the face of his 19 year old self in a darkened club.
Leo didn’t age well
He’s still a dope 😂😂
Or like a picture from a CSPE book
