Just pointing out it's not the first time we've had such, IMO, unfounded beliefs. I believe when MM got the job he was happy, job done. He doesn't seem to have much vigor and certainly no interest in causing an election. Leo won't be held over hot coals by anyone in FF or the Greens. This is why we need a vocal opposition. Whatever the agenda or bias, we need someone to ask questions and hold people to account. If only to stop TD's making a fool of themselves or putting trust in government into question, that's beside any findings or suspicions of conscious wrong doing.

The opposition at the moment is a fragmented collection of Healy Rea/ Boyd Barrett crazies plus the thug/ moron Sinn Fein crew. What we actually need is a thoughtful considered left wing opposition. All we have now are loud mouth thugs or loons. A vocal opposition indeed

Donohoe is one of the FG crew I actually don't mind, comes across as being a little bit too nice at times, too nice for leader, and I believe he has openly said he doesn't want the job as leader and wouldn't take it. Harris. He's also woefully out of his depth, covid 18, and he brought the last govt down, enough said. Coveney, arguably should have been leader last time, but FG decided Leo being mixed race gay son of an immigrant was probably trendier and then imply anyone who mentions that fact is a racist or homophobic. 2/4 of the talent you listed there would finish the party for good as leaders I reckon.

As Minister Collins said ‘Preferring to sit back and shout from the sidelines.’ All an integral part of the discussion,Randal I know you may be more used to ‘dictat’ rule from the shadows, but,Randal, openness and transparency are the lynchpins of democracy.
