Tonight
Leinster House, Dublin 2.
Meanwhile..
Alan Kelly’s legacy will be water charges and homelessness. The media loved him, but people never forgot his time in Government and particularly the role Labour played in hammering working class people with austerity measures.
Something he / they have never apologised

Update: Alan Kelly will make a statement about his political future at 7pm this evening at Leinster House.
Earlier…
This evening.
Sources have confirmed there had been criticism of Mr Kelly’s leadership style as the party continues to stall in the polls.
One representative said that Mr Kelly’s plan to improve the party would involve him “travelling around the country, pressing the flesh”.
Another source said that issues had come to a head in last week’s parliamentary party when Mr Kelly faced serious criticism from the representatives present, with one TD saying that they ultimately felt that the decision on Mr Kelly’s future would lie with Dublin Fingal TD Duncan Smith.
“If Duncan says he has to go, he has to go,” they said.
Anyone?

They should make Bacik the leader. That’ll finish the party and we’ll be done with it. Fupp watercharges and Joan Burton.
Looks like she has a chance
To this day I cannot understand Labour’s support for water charges. It was an incredible political blunder, especially as Irish Water could not even fund itself from the proceeds.
And then there was iPhone Joan and her strop with the protestors. Never once stopping to consider the harm it was doing to the party’s reputation.
+1
he should be gone long ago
Put K. Cavan in charge
the bro is back.
“Declan Kelly, once a prominent adviser to Fortune 500 chief executives, has made a discreet comeback just months after he was forced to quit Teneo, the public relations firm he co-founded, following allegations of sexual harassment.”

There’s a turnip for the books
…oh no…they’ve killed Kelly…

Ukraine are short of AK47s, send him over immediately!
AK47 has been decomissioned.
The fact that he dubbed himself ‘AK47’ tells you a lot.
And if you haven’t heard it his campaign rap from 2009 General Election was his finest moment.

Drop him on Minsk and show their government the damage a true WMD is capable of
Who cares. The Labour Party are irrelevant in Ireland. They”ll make that eejit O’Riordan leader. He’ll bring virtue signalling to a new level. His wife will do her bit on the media side to make this happen
…and the glory.
Super, Super Frank,

FU Roman or Thank You ?
Just looking at Brendan Howlin in that video. Would he possibly be the shortest man in the Dail? I didn’t realise he was that short. Is it some optical illusion?
Ivana Baçik will be leader, if not this time, but next. She’s in this for the long haul, and has been. Fair dues.
…Ivana certainly is a natural…she always reminded me of someone in the debating society who could speak passionately for the motion as well as against it…usually without drawing breath…
His style has an arrogance to it that is breathtaking. I’ve seen it close and personal
How’s your legacy now?
