Why? The electorate in Limerick clearly want him there and feel he has a role to play for them. Are you saying because he’s in his 70’s , he shut pack it in?
Nope, he has been shunted to the back benches, told he has nowhere to go, is out of touch with the parliamentary party and regularly criticises party policy, yet here he’ll be running again with a big FF up on his poster (continue preference for xxxxxxxx)
He’s not respected in his party
I’d be a Fianna Fáil/Fine Gael leaning voter but Christ Leo is some gobshite. He has a long list of offences to his name at this stage. The tweets to Kylie Minogue in a desperate plea for concert tickets, shifting a young lad in the nightclub while aware of being on camera, blatantly flaunting his own Covid rules while drinking cans in the park, leaking information to the media, quoting mean girls in a state of the nation speech, posting pictures of his reprehensible food prep online and relying on a maid to tidy the house. I’d say he’s second only to Brian Cowen in terms of the worst Taoisigh we’ve had. Not even related to a leader.
Come to think of it we haven’t even had that many (if any) Taoisigh that were anyway inspirational. Seán Lemass our best? We specialised in rogues like Charlie and Bertie during the 80’s/90’s/00’s.

Iirc he wrote her a letter on offical headed paper from the office of the taoiseach.
I’d chop off Leo’s left testicle for tickets backstage to see Kylie

Almost as controversial as when apparently ardent Yanited fan Michéal Martin tweeted his congratulations to Liverpool FC on their title victory.
Leo’s Kylie fandom is the best thing about him
Did you see his conglatuory messge to Cillian Murphy. The man oozes cringe from every pore.
Tweeting is an unofficial form of communication while headed paper is, thats where i have my issue
Regardless Leo is a gobshite and is an election liability. Has he won an election as party leader? Hard to say the last GE was a victory and was he in charge for repel? If he was hard to credit him on that referendum as it was a long grassroots movement tbf
If only he’d been a pundit on The Premiership and hid in a fridge.

Don’t forget Leo heading to a festival in the UK the weekend after Electric Picnic was refused a license here.

Bertie on the Premiership highlight show was absolutely iconic to be fair. If Leo made an appearance on Allianz League Sunday bemoaning the struggles of his mothers native Waterford then he’d go right up in TFK posters estimation.
The plain people of Ireland want Taoiseach David May
Mr Haughey ordered a reception at Iveagh House on March 15, 1990 with a lavish dinner organised in the ballroom.
Hosted by Mr Haughey and his wife, the guest list read like a who’s who of Irish VIPs.
It included Jim Sheridan, Noel Pearson, Brenda Fricker, Bono, Paul McGuinness, Seamus Heaney, Brian Friel, Anthony Cronin, Ronnie Drew, PJ Mara, Des Whelan, Jack Conroy, Joan Bergin, Kevin O’Connor, Ruth McCabe, Colman McLaughlin, Mary and John O’Connor, Austin Lappin, Frances Tomelty and Seán Ó Mórdha.
However, Daniel Day Lewis, one of the guests of honour was unable to attend the event.
Confidential memos revealed that his agent had informed the organisers in advance that the actor was in Greece and would be unable to travel to Dublin for the gala dinner.
Mr Haughey had also indicated the finest wines were to be used for the occasion – with among the most expensive options chosen for both red and white wines, Chablis Grand Cru Vaudesir 1987 and Chateau Malescot St Exupery Margaux 1982.
The chablis cost IR£18 per bottle while the Chateau Malescot was IR£24.60 at 1990 prices.
Irish spring lamb was the main course with sole ‘Molly Malone’, an Irish cheese board and Liqueur Bavarois.
Bertie talking out of a box or a cabinet or something on a telly ad was a bit embarrassing though
Looking at the shitshow he inherited and where he left the country, Enda’s record as Taoiseach was as good as any bar Lemass, even though he sometimes came across as a bit of a gombeen

I’d have serious questions about a man who’d disrespect Kylie

Big Bernie Durkan has said he’ll run again in Kildare at the next election and the useless cunt approaching 80. He’ll get in too.
Like O’Dea, he’ll be carried out of Parliament in a box. €120k a year when it’s his parliamentary assistants and office workers who deal with all/most queries, phone calls and emails.
Taoiseach, yes or no: are you going to the people to get their views on the split season?
Bertie thought Silvestre was a great player. Dunphy correctly pointed out he was a good player, not a great player.

I’ve a feeling tracksuit tried to salute Willie O’Dea one day in O’Connell avenue and O’Dea looked the other way.
The woke gallery reference is cutting.
