Now, there was no mention of how qualified/suitable these people were for the jobs they were originally given by Enda. I believe one had been a secondary school principal who had been given some business and enterprise position (or something) Leo put in her in an education position. So it sounds like Enda had gone with "jobs for the boys/girls" and Leo reshuffled. And Ciara got very upset because he reshuffled 3 people, 2 of whom were women. Would she have been ok if he reshuffled 3 people, but only 1 woman? Or no women? Chris was trying to point out he also demoted a man, and should that man feel aggrieved. And she was having none of it because HE DEMOTED TWO WOMEN. And yes, she shouted him down. I've switched off!

I just thought would you ever go and fcuk yourself, my mother worked full time (unusual enough in those days) and still managed to keep us in reuseable nappies (and in fairness, my dad helped) throughout the time we were growing up. Your time is too valuable, my hole! You're not curing cancer, FFS....
