    To have the incredibly slimy politico that is Leo is only compounding the problem. Their is something about him that just reeks of ladder climbing.

    Leo should be saying we were to busy trying to bring down this corrupt government rather than pandering to George's insecurities.

    Sounds like George's problem was more with Bruton than Kenny. Could it be that Bruton felt threatened by Lee and deliberately excluded him from the formation of FG economic policy .

    'Of course there are mutterings' - Not exactly a resounding defence of Enda Kenny by Leo.

    Good show.

    That's a possibility. The alternative explanation is simply that George couldn't cut it.

    Either way, Kenny's reputation for people management is lying on the floor in a pool of blood.

    I thought I was watching The Shawshank Redemption with all this talk of being institutionalized.

    Come on lads, wasn't Olivia giving her pal George a bit of a dig out, and Kenny more than a bit of a hint to get the finger out?
