Enough already!

-

The Fine Gael leadership battle has turned into a gruelling slog.

In the navy blue corner is Simon Coveney, a man who rose without trace after he ‘inherited’ his Dáil seat from his merchant prince father at an early age when most people are just getting started on the jobs ladder. To say that Simon has a charisma deficit is an understate­ment of Olympian proportion­s.

In the turquoise blue corner we have Leo Varadkar, whose modulated Castleknoc­k tones conceal a ferocious Thatcheris­m.

Enough already! Elect one of the gruesome twosome and let him get on with the business in hand: pandering to the powerful and caving in to the Healy-Raes! Catherine Flynn, Co. Tipperary.
