      “Drugged-up past”. Yeah, had a drag of a joint twice at a party. Shocking stuff.

      Even if someone had been a drug addict in the past should that preclude them from being Taoiseach?

        No one should be precluded from being Taoiseach because of their past. Even a past addiction would be fine.

        The main thing is that they’re trustworthy and don’t tell lies. I do believe that Leo does now know why funding violent crime by buying drugs is wrong.

        We can all relax anyway, because Leo is clearly telling the truth in the above video with Ivan Yates. That’s as clear as day. Everyone should watch the video to see how clear that is.

        And he sidestepped the question about other drugs with a ‘not since I became an elected representative’ line.
        Before he was an elected representative, he was a doctor. So, by avoiding that particular question, what would reckon? Did he do so when he was a doctor?

    Imagined aspirational waffle for the Northerners and precious little else – some Republican party Fianna Fáil turned out to be. Micheál demonstrating his skill with the long finger before he’s even sat down.
