Glad to meet up with former #Taoiseach , #EndaKenny at a family function today . We discussed all sorts of things including #politics , #GAA , #agriculture @FineGael @EPPGroup & war of independence & it’s aftermath. He’s still flying it ! https://t.co/862ARtCGE5

@harriettmb Go on have a look! It really is a crash course in #Irishhistory for idiots. I hear one more English commentator mispronounce #Ballina or call the #Taoiseach - the Irish Prime Minister I will scream. Maybe we should start calling #Sunak the Taoiseach, we should see how quickly we are corrected.😜 😂

How, in Ireland today, the 6th richest country in the world (by GDP per capita), are there still people queuing in #Hospital corridors, an advisory notice NOT to attend hospitals AND chronic homelessness, dysfunctionally overcrowded #AsylumCentres still in existence? ESP when #PM #Taoiseach #LEOVARADKAR is a #MedicalDoctor? https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/richest-countries-in-the-world

Welcome back to power, Leo. It still can't eclipse the corruption and the sheer tragedy of your fridge of prepared dinners.

#LeoVaradkar #HowIrelandWorks #Taoiseach

There is no reason why any #TD needs 10 minutes of waffle just to get the #taoiseach rotated. This does my head in with speaking time. They get to talk down the clock on issues that could be done far more efficiently.

@darth_pernicious I perfered John Hunt as the war #Taoiseach

meh, still think Timothy Dalton was the best #Taoiseach. He brought out some of the darker edges of the character from the books.

RT @MickBarryTD: In his speech following his resignation as Taoiseach Micheal Martin follows the example of Donald Trump and equates the "extreme right" and the "extreme left". #Varadkar #Taoiseach

Best wishes to my @FineGael leader @LeoVaradkar as he takes over from @MichealMartinTD as #Taoiseach tomorrow. The seamless changeover reflects well on the continuity of politics in Ir. & shows how @FineGael & @fiannafailparty have matured in approach & attitude since 1922.

If everyone on #DirectHeating schemes wrote to the #MinisterForTheEnvironment and #Taoiseach demanding this injustice would be stopped, it would provide a #PopularWave that would get this #profiteering by #utilitycompanies stamped out

It's a start: #Taoiseach moots #UniversalLevy to replace #TVLicence https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/news/taoiseach-says-universal-levy-would-be-more-sustainable-than-tv-licence-42178156.html When will governments replace #CarTax and #CarInsurance and even #RoadTolls by a levy on fuel so that the drivers who drive the most pay the most?

Hmm… I suppose some folks better get used to hearing @MichealMartinTD described as “outgoing #Taoiseach” from here on.

Not long until he starts to be viewed as the outgoing @fiannafailparty leader… despite his comments today.

Listening to @LatedebateRTE - general view was @MichealMartinTD has done a v good job as #Taoiseach . I agree. Where are all the outspoken critics gone ? Perhaps, to D bar for a Guinness, a Sherry or a Jimeson ! 🤷🤫😏

He said Taoiseach showed gravitas + humility in accepting #Ireland must tackle emissions in wake of 6% rise last year, transitioning from climate laggards to climate leaders.
