Young Leo, if you’re after a giggle, was on Morning Ireland in the first half hour this morning and got absolutely fucking killed.

Picked the wrong angle completely and got hung out to dry in the most excruciating manner possible, sounding for all the world like an inept schoolchild.

[...] Unlike Damien I think Leo Varadkar would do well to move back to FÁSgate watch, the way contracts were awarded and tenders for millions of Euro not advertised and stop being a silly lad appearing on every radio/tv station that’ll have him calling for Ministerial resignations. A look at regulations for how many civil servants one needs to hold the Minister’s hand is only peripheral but interesting none the less. [...]
