    Not in mine either, but would it make you consider voting a FF candidate?

    Couldn't care less if it's MeHole or Sweary Mary. They're a shower of corrupt, thieving b'stards and I wouldn't p'ss on them let alone give them my vote.

    That's better.

    Bit disappointed. He's good, but a bit spineless. Would've preferred Brian Lenihan.

    They're all a shower of yellow cúnts and could have stuck Bob the builder in as leader. Any idiot that's gonna vote FF is gonna do it regardless of who's in charge.

    Not too surprising, was never going to be Lenihan because he was too high up in the mess that Fianna Fail have made of the country. Not saying Martin isn't culpable or anything but Lenihan has been minister for Fianance through this whole debacle.

    Bob the builder is a union man - we'd never take apart the croke park agreement with that chap at the helm

    Paddy Power had already paid out on this, they know all.
    I've never voted FF in my lifetime, which was just the once in 2007, and can't see myself voting for them in the next 10 years either.
    This guy reminds me of a garda traffic corps for some reason.

    Chin-less, spine-less, wit-less coward. Michael Martin is ineffectual and dull.

    Was cheering for Brian Lenihan, just cos it would make him feel better and he seems like a nice guy, and I'm soft like that :)

    The job of the incoming Fianna Fail leader is not to run the country but to rebuild the party, which has been devestated by a withdrawel of talent in recent times.

    As a rebuilder, I think Martin is a good choice; if there was a chance of the leader becoming Taoiseach, then Lenihan would have been the man.



    Not voting for them anyway.

    Goodness knows what Leninhan was thinking even trying for the job, in fact why has he not retired to enjoy his life. There must be better things he can do with friends/family etc while he is still well enough to do so.

    /do-gooding.

    Well done Michael - believe it or not he is the most incompetent person they could have chosen - universally accepted that he was the worst minister of health ever - did nothing and passed everything down the line.

    Leader of a sinking ship - hope they all have no lifejackets!!

    if nothing else lenihan has shown himself to be a total sheep. Why people would prefer him to martin is beyone me. Total spineless git even his own party members hate him for his turncoat ways. Another man i can see suddenly retiring now on health grounds catching the politican epidimic and leaving on medical advice, nothing at all to do with the big pay cuts
