    I'm Sorry, Leo is all PR and no substance.

    So far, apart from PR Briefings and PR Ops that is all we have heard from Leo.

    First was looking all in command" from the USA then the podium speeches. Does he inspire confidence? Nope IMHO!

    And what’s the purpose of that besides a PR shot? It’s so funny they have doctors and nurses waiting ages for their tests to be done and for the results to come back and the travelers have the Taoiseach at their “halting” sites carrying out tests. Pathetic.

    Yes it does seems staged for PR

    As someone who thought it was a fairly blatant PR move when he did it, I have to say that this is the first time I've ever seen any publicity about him in his doctor's role, and it seems like it was not even originally disseminated by FG.

    Photos like that making it to world media could make him a real international star.

    A - The bit in Bold is not true.
    B - The bit in bold is probably something Gemma would actually agree with.
    C - If you don't want people thinking you are a supporter of Gemma, stop saying things that sound like you are a supporter of Gemma.

    A social media "Dahhhling", PR spin gets the "Certain few", it doesn't hoodwink based on actual performance.

    As soon as the dail elects another Taoiseach he is gone.

    Right now they seem quite happy to let him at it. Please contact your local TDs if you feel a government should be formed. :pac:

    Well, apart from managing to bring about an effective lockdown for a month.
    Ensuring that welfare payments have been made available to many.
    Helping to ensure that hospitals have not become overwhelmed with people needing treatment.

    Whether Leo was 100% responsible for the above or not, if none of these things had turned out to be the case, he would be told he must hold the can for them.

    We've got a live one here. Are you one of these lads who posts under every Twitter news story mentioning Varadkar?

    Some sad, sad people out there.

    He is a resident of Northern Ireland, so unfortunately does not have a local T. D
    Quite why he's so exercised by the governance of a democracy he is not resident in, is peculiar

    He managed to lose 33% of FG seats and scraped in on the 5th count.

    Coveney should have ousted him and still should.

    Not true.


    The 2nd Dáil relegated its Governmental Authority to another body to hold in trust until such time as the lawful 3rd Dáil could convene.

    And admitted himself that they (FG) lost the election.

    This government, if they manage to pull it off, will have a dark shadow over their “mandate” and it will haunt them throughout the term.

    • The Irish population don't see it this way.
    • The Northern Ireland population don't see it this way.
    • The Irish government don't see it this way.
    • The Northern Ireland Assembly don't see it this way.
    • No national government on the planet sees it this way.
    • No elected representative body sees it this way.

    Just to be clear on the reality of the situation. You, and your 2-300 mates can claim it all you want, but you are probably in the region of 0.004% of the population of the people who live on the Island of Ireland and consequently, are statistically insignificant.

    If the Dáil delegated governmental authority until such time as the Dáil could reconvene, then obviously it doesn't have a Dáil. Though it does have a government.


    It's hardly a secret about the military forces belonging to and loyal to the Republic. I'm sure you're aware of the Army.

    What Republic?

    There’s only one Ireland, surely?

    The one and only Irish Republic which was proclaimed in arms at Easter, 1916.


    It is not administered from Leinster House.
