2. Helen needs to resign. Dublin was safer 10 years ago.

3. FG’s refusal to sack incompetent ministers is nothing new. They’d get an immediate bounce from removing McEntee – swap her into a lesser ministerial portfolio where she can’t do any real damage if they want to save face but you can’t leave the situation as is, shows them to be utterly incompetent and negligent.

4. She needs to get pregnant again or she’ll get the boot

5. Indo Pollster: In the next election would you vote for handsome, economy-protecting Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael or terrorist IRA Sinn Féin or looney left Social Democrats/Labour/PBP or all those other wankers?

6. That photo op will haunt her

7. From Taoiseach favourite to ministerial failure.

8. Helen needs to go and Drew Harris with her

9. Somewhat entertaining to watch a political career crumble before our eyes.
