So the former Taoiseach and leader of FG is now under a criminal investigation.

Surely he should be stepping aside until this is concluded.

The Free State media are an absolute disgrace on this.

Agreed. He'd be a goner if it was anyone else.

What's the Infatuation with Varadkar and this one Zappone?

Controversy seems to follow her around like a bad smell yet she gets Government appointments thrown at her.

She is a homosexual, obviously she can do no wrong.

What relevance does that have to this issue?

The question was why she was so popular with the FG top brass and the answer is that she supports the trendy causes of interest to them

So being gay is just "a trendy cause" as opposed to a biological orientation?

Being gay is an orientation, campaigning for gays is a trendy cause.

It seems she is not taking the job, so she has rescued the situation

Youd wonder has the man any cop on at all or just zero emotional intelligence? Its just so idiotic from him it beggars belief.

Oonagh Murphy putting her twitter account on "private" afterwards is bit hypocritical as well. She couldn't stick the spotlight long herself.

It's more likely that he thinks the plebs have zero intelligence, and that's why he treats them with contempt.

this strategy has worked for Sinn Féin, so he probably thinks it will for him.

For a large section of voters, he is correct to assume that.

There'd be a perception up north that certain families would vote FF and certain ones would vote FG and that would be a generational thing. Would that still be the case or was it never the case?
Both would be deemed middle to right wing minded with FG slightly more rightwing than FF policy wise and at times probably not a lot of difference policy wise and I know FF took a bit of a pasting post the Celtic tiger collapse but seem to have recovered quickly enough.

Are there enough wavering voters to sustain SF's growth in the 26?
