I've often wondered that there isn't a touch of the Conan O'Brien's about him? http://debates.oireachtas.ie/images/people/30/JamesBannon.jpg Also, Colm, if you seriously think that Enda views Richard as a threat to be removed at the first opportunity then you're deluding yourself. FG learned a good while ago that it achieves more as a political team than when it's operating a conveyor feed belt for the defenestration of leaders.

I'm surprised Enda didn't push Richard out of his seat right there and then. He must be bursting with excitement at finally having the opportunity to demote the last serious threat to his leadership. p.s. Did anyone else notice there are a disturbing amount of bald spots on top of the heads of our leaders. How long will George be in the third row of seats.

Gormley and Ryan often miss Order of Business and leaders questions - a point remarked upon again today while many of us were watching the live feed.
