Hugh must be bored to be trying to make a story out of this.
Dr Double talk, looking out for Dr Double Deal.
Well we all know that Leo is the man for the spin.
He has to. They are in gov together.
This is the start of it – if FF and FG are in coalition in 2025, FG won’t run a candidate for president.
“We do nothing, we wash our hands and say it is a matter for the tribunal,” Mr Varadkar said in the Dáil.
“There is no system of accountability or ethics, and we ask ourselves why people have such a low opinion of politicians. People have such a low opinion of politicians because we will not root out the rotten apples in our own barrel, and we allow them to contaminate our entire system.”
He’s dead right, a strong stance is needed on rotten apples contaminating systems. [Here’s](https://m.independent.ie/irish-news/politics/rounds-of-applause-for-damien-english-and-paschal-donohoe-at-fine-gael-party-meeting-as-taoiseach-pays-tribute-to-both-42294341.html) an article detailing how Fine Gael gave a round of applause to both Damian English and Paschal Donohoe recently after their rule breaking.
Anti gay marriage, anti abortion and anti Bertie. Classic Leo.
John Gilligan did a lot less damage to the country compared to Bertie in fairness
Leo’s opinions change based on who he’s trying to impress on a given week. Can’t wait to see who Leo wants to impress next week.
Mr flip flop himself..
FF/FG loyalists – “Why’s everybody voting for Sinn Fein now?!”
