I wouldnāt have thought Murphy would be any sort of credible threat to become FG leader one day?
Yep hes russell Murphyās grandson. I worked with eoghans uncle Whoās a thoroughly alright sort
He is. Russell Murphy. He was an awful cad. He diddled Hugh Leonardās money too. Itās hard to fault him over his choice of victim. My recollection is that he spent in on a renowned beauty who used to write for the Sunday papers. His father is either a senior counsel or a judge.
In fairness you can choose your friends but you canāt choose your family.

Well the last leader could barely speak and he was the parties longest serving leader in history, so heās one up on him
Iād say heās a slam dunk for it. Or at least he thinks he is.
The father is a silk. The best thing about Russellās ripoff is that heād ring gaybo saying heād found a first edition book or a painting for him and heād send it over by taxi. Little did gaybo realise all of this was coming from his own money

Sorry, when I said āwell spokenā I meant that he has a clipped South Dublin accent, although there is an element of nasal interference in it. He also has a very slight lisp.
Heās a bit like Ed Miliband in that regard, and also in terms of how he looks. His politics are considerably to the right of Mr. Miliband however.
In terms of the content of what he says, heās certainly no better than Mr. Kenny, considerably worse in my view. I havenāt been impressed with him at all when Iāve heard him debating on television and radio.
I donāt see him being a credible future leader of Fine Gael at all.
āYouāll be astounded at the reaction on Twitter to Irelandās first gay PMā

The current one isnāt credible either
Murphy is excellent but is too southside for the role at this stage.
Gay Byrne used to tell parents that their kids should bring their own fizzy drinks to his kids birthday parties so Russell did a good thing imo.

There is lots of housing stock coming on stream in the next 18 months, including social housing. Heāll be cutting a lot of ribbons.

Kate would make a tremendous leader of Fine Gael in a few yearsā time.
She has the common touch, sheās on the liberal wing of the party, she straddles the rural and urban divide effortlessly and she has authenticity.
Foreign Affairs is a prestige position. Itās like the Grand Offices of State, the ones you want are Finance, Justice and Foreign Affairs. In terms of building up your rep itās a great one as you generally avoid scandal.
Finance is the obvious stepping stone one to the leadership but Liam Cosgrave, Biffo and Garrett all arguably made their reps in that department. Wouldnāt want justice.
How is he lazy?
Heās had three ministries and done fuck all in any of them
