She will be the Jack Lynch to their Colley/Haughey
They could make her junior minister for fashion.
Nope, likely a junior ministry I’d say though. The old FG heads kicked up an almighty fuss when they heard Enda was going to appoint first time deputies to ministries.
What a vindication for the stellar job Charlie has been doing in Foreign Affairs
Yes, very surprising indeed. She wasn’t a steady hand in the job by any means, can’t see the logic in it at all.
You could equally argue that being Minister for Health in this government is a surefire ticket to never becoming Fine Gael leader.
Varadkar was a broken man within a few months of becoming Health minister. I expect Harris’s cough will be softened before long*.
*Metaphorically speaking.
Who is Michael creed?
Harris’s elevation to health is some fuckin joke. I’d say inda sat down and thought"who is the biggest pain in the arse that will piss all the unions off in health".
Some Cork cunt who’s been a TD since 1964 without ever being promoted before.
I’d say Enda knows he will be gone in a few months and is having a laugh with some of these appointments.
A TD since he was a one year old. That’s some going.
I’d say he’s doing it to piss Taz off
It’s a hospital pass, Sid.
A natural successor to Inda so.
I’d imagine what he thinks doesn’t matter two fucks when it comes to being the next leader. Being close to enda would be a disadvantage. I reckon it’ll be Coveney anyway. No way the hard rights will accept an uppity gay lad as leader.
2002 actually which surprises me thought was much longer. He is well able should have been a minister last time only he tried to shaft Kenny before
Coveney is next in line…himself and Sutherland attended the 2014 Bilderberg together sure.
In fairness though, he never comes across as a complete cunt or ape like many others before him, seems like a decent enough fella.
Leo was fucked into Health to kill his career. The fact that he was re elected and got another ministers job can only be a positive to him and 2 fingers to Enda
Kenny has effectively sidelined both of his likely successors here. Varadkar and Coveney have been demoted and his chosen horse, Frances Fitzgerald has been elevated to Tánaiste and retains a ministry that, by today’s standards, is a pudding.
He is, in actual terms, a lame-duck Taoiseach presiding over a Government with an optimistic shelf life of 12-18 months.
It displays the gormlessness of an individual who knows he’s fucked and yet is trying to retain an influence on who succeeds him.
What a fucking cretin.
Remind you of anyone in limerick GAA circles mate?
Bar the cretin part of course.
