Right, so how has Enda had his wings clipped when the candidate supported by the mutterer-in-chief (Creighton) didn't even have enough support to make it worth running?

Tom Hayes and Joe McHugh were the other candidates. Tom Hayes was the outgoing Chairman.

Party chairman isn't a public role, its an internal, basically administrative post. Its to chair meetings, that's basically it.
