next Taoiseach?

[seafoid]

Coveney is like a parody of a FG leader. Rich commercial family. Steeped in the party. Father was a minister.

Be great craic if Enda has a different plan. 

Leader for life

I can't see Leo getting it, its a predominately rural based party and theres probably a lot of old school values, it'll be interesting to see

I think Paschal O'D is the best available, very smart and articulate. Simon Harris is also very capable but probably not experienced enough

Paschal articulate? Please say you're trolling.

Having a lisp and being articulate are two separate things

You could delete that disgusting post!!

I'd have thought that Varakder was a cert. A bit of charisma to him, and while that shouldn't be hugely important, it's probably what'll get him the job.

Did you just describe Leo's homosexuality as a lifestyle choice. Holy fook.

The practice of homosexuality is a lifestyle choice!

[Rossfan]

He'll address the leadership issue after the St Patrick's week junket to Washington.

The next Taoiseach will be a useless f**ker that does nothing to help the vast majority of people in the country. At least it won't be Enda Kenny but don't expect any improvement.

Based on the way his comments aligned with Enda's during the week I think Coveney is Enda's anointed one.

So if Enda remains respected and popular leader in Fine Gael then Coveney is the man.   Wouldn't rule out Leo but I think his sexuality/lifestyle choice (strikeout accordingly) may, covertly at least, an issue for party members.
