    My God could you imagine him representing us abroad and getting into a disagreement with some foreign counterpart! They'd have some view of Irish diplomacy!!

    Its not the odd curse and f*uck that I'd worry about. Just the lack of maturity and unpredicability.
    Loads of politicians have let go on an F U rant. The difference is that most of them know the right time and place to do it.

    God no!
    Every one sees what you appear to be, few really know what you are, and those few dare not oppose themselves to the opinion of the many, who have the majesty of the state to defend them.

    It would be without a doubt the most ridiculo us and stupid thing any govenment official has ever done. It would disrupt the cabinet, make a mockery of the dail and embarass us abroad. . . . . . . . . they'll probably do it.

    Never would the title JUNIOR Minister be more appropriate.....

    The majority cannot therefore be the elite.

    Like the Tanaiste, for example?

    Don't write off Gogarty yet. In a country where Mary Coughlan can become Deputy Prime Minister, absolutely anything is possible.

    Imagine if a bizarre accident led to a "King Ralph" situation where Mary was Taoiseach and Paul was Tanaiste (or hey, vice-versa).

    By all accounts the bould Mary turns the air even bluer than Gogarty, but only when the mikes are off.

    On the promotion, on the one hand Cuffe is the best talent on the backbench, but he's a man for transport, town planning etc. The vacancy is for food, which would suit White better. Also the ould geography might work in her favour. What a country.
    If there is a future, it will be Green.
