38k salary allowance. A great fucking country.
Green leadership result incoming
Yup. Was hilarious when Varadkar demoted her despite her rowing behind him, the Sunday Business Post got access to a load of her ministerial emails to aides and they were just embarrassing. Varadkar had no time for her.

Wow that was close.
I sensed when Saoirse McHugh resigned from the party earlier that the writing was on the wall for Catherine Martin. McHugh surely had the inside track that Eamon Ryan would be re-elected and if a woman in the form of Martin was swept in then Iām sure sheād have hung around.

Iād prefer to see her as a TD. Isnāt the Ceann Comhairle more of a symbolic role?

Itās only deputy cc when the main one is unavailable. Sheāll still be an ordinary td 90% of the time

The teachers havenāt a notion of going back
MicheĆ”l Martin at the podium earlier was giving it all the exaggerated and practiced hand movements (ala MicheĆ l Lehane) to emphasise his points. I found it really fucking irksome. In fact, I find everything he says and does very fucking annoying. Iām struggling to accept the democratic will of the people*, guys.
*That said, I doubt many people that transferred to the greens were doing so on the basis theyād be propping up a Martin and Varadkar double act.

Anyone hear Varadkars interview on the RTE today show, heard it was a bit of a car crash interview and that Sarah McInerney asked him some hard questions? Probably will cost her the job in the long run.

Great interview, both acquitted themselves wonderfully. Great bonhomie evident.
