Health Minister Leo Varadkar and irish Times writer Miriam Lord at the Fine Gael ‘Think-in’ in the Fota Island Resort, Co Cork today
He’s a big boy.
“Mr Varadkar had said people would be €5 or €10 better off weekly after the Budget, prompting a rebuke from Mr Kenny that details of a Budget are not discussed before the Cabinet make their decisions collectively.
Speaking today, Mr Varadkar said: “I don’t mind being slapped down or scolded.I’m a big boy and I’m willing to take a degree of criticism from time to time, but at the same time, you know this isn’t about me; it’s not about my dignity, it’s not about my ego. It’s about frontline staff and it’s about patients, it’s about our health services which affect all of us and I think everyone in Government needs to get behind our health service.”

Im liking this guy, not afraid to put his foot in it.
…..he said nuttin’ like.
Bar the €5 / €10… the rest is pure waffle that a child after getting a few stitches on their knee in A&E could come up with.
“These stiches aren’t about me, about my ego, about my dignity” that child would say. Making people think it had also banged its head.
That’s his plan, don’t be fooled by his bull sh1t
varadwankar is a career muppet with his eye on kennys job
been listening to shite on the radio past couple of days about god how leo is sounding like a decent skin blah blah etc. seems everyone forgotten some of the utter poo thats come out of his mouth in the past
all this now and next 3 months just more election-driven popularity noise…piles of words with no substance…can’t wait to hear about the whitepapers they are writing and all their plans heh
Ha! Ball right back in Kenny’s court.
He looks like he’s reading his responses off his palm.
Leo will be our greatest asset in the fight against intergalactic invaders.
leo will be throwing women and children behind him as he runs away from those invaders.
Well, that IS the crux of the Irish Defense Strategy.
did he let one rip?
‘…..he’s a big boy’…..but the minute I make the slightest reference to wide girls I get deleted….you did this all through the Mary Harney era – talking about wide boys.
Crikey, Miriam Lord has let herself go.
At least Health Minister Leo knows who ate all the pies.
Wahaay !
So wait, is this guy more or less of a gobshite than Kenny? When can I start voting for my beloved Fianna Fáil again, guilt-free?
You should see what happens if you whip him with a wet noodle. Talk about positive feedback.
