Eamon Ryan's eyes keep looking left in interviews

Did anyone ever notice this about Eamon Ryan? I remember I spotted this when he was being interviewed on Newsnight about 6 months back. It was so bad that his eyes were darting left about every 2 seconds. But in a normal interview with him you can maybe expect it to happen every 7 seconds. I'm surprised no pointed this out to him.

Since noticing it on Newsnight I can't stop noticing it. It's like he's not comfortable being present in the moment, and knows he lacks the confidence and knowledge to answer certain questions. It reminds me of the way Enda Kenny lacked the same confidence to make public appearances on, say, Vincent Browne.

Can’t say I’ve noticed it with Eamon Ryan specifically, but you could be just reading too much into it too 😁

Definitely not reading into it. You'll notice it next time he's being interviewed.

He just needs to plug himself in and recharge his battery.

Dunno about this but he is a Hard working minister.

Maybe he doesn't believe what he's saying?

That is, if his policies for the climates are even that good!

Some studies have determined..

the pattern for right-handed people was as follows:

Eyes right: constructed imagery (up), constructed sounds and words (sideways), tactile and visceral feelings (down)
Eyes left: remembered imagery (up), remembered sounds, words and discriminating tones (sideways), inner dialogue (down)
Eyes straight: quickly accessing sensory information (unfocused or dilated)
