I just pipped Kev by a point to win the Fantasy EPL manager of the month in the office… A wonderful prize too

Peter Burke and JCM to be promoted, is my guess.
Burke to Justice, McEntee demoted to the back water of Higher Education and JCM to step into Enterprise.
mcentee to DETE, JCM to DFHEIRS, humphries to DoJ.
That actually looks better for Harris, less of a dropping for McEntee.
Humphries was previously in Justice too, even if only temporarily.
mcentee, im sure when her time in DETE finishes, will be mentioned in the same breath as such former DETE luminaries such as pee flynn, ray burke, mary coughlan and MMOC

Sure they’re now a Dublin party anyway.

According to all reports today, Coveney walked before he was pushed. Harris has put too much emphasis on Dublin and its environs already. Humphreys may well get the deputy leader gig but it looks like Simon has decided to neglect the rural vote which will end up costing him dearly.

That doesn’t matter. He is focused on Dublin.
Greystones is as rural minded as malahide

I wouldn’t imagine Simon Coveney would be a fella who’d have much interest in rooral Ireland either.
I think (and hope) that FG will be decimated at the next election. Only downside is it’ll lead to an upsurge for FF.

It’s the optics of it though.
FF seem to be escaping most of the brunt of the anger of people, mostly by keeping out of sight. Donnelly seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth, he was nowhere during the referendums either.
Would expect FG to get a good kicking by the electorate alright. Under Varadkar they’ve seemed to be completely Dublin/greater Dublin area orientated. Think it was mentioned on the radio today that after Coveney’s resignation there is no senior FG cabinet Minister in Munster and Connacht now. They’ve completely lost the farming vote.

How many farmers in Ireland
How much money does the state pay them
A kicking in the European elections might be the thing that saves them
They’ll lose a seat or two in Europe, not that it’ll matter a whole lot.
Varadkar did enormous damage as leader. Made FF electable again and by getting into bed with them has, for once and for all, shown there is no difference between FF & FG. Of course the tail is wagging the dog with these green headbangers getting everything they demand.
Michael Ring v John McGuinness as party leaders would be way more interesting than the Varadkar/Harris v Martin snooze fest.
