If Simon gets ousted, who we pushing up to the forefront and the leader of the party?" Because Fine Gael, let's face it, whether they admit it or don't, they have a serious problem on their hands right now with their current leader.

Well, [clears throat] the first thing is that what you see, um, being put out there with Fine Gael is just smoke and mirrors.

This whole notion of, uh, a motion at the Fine Gael Ard Fheis upcoming that's gonna give all these people great hope that Fine Gael is moving away from the, the woke direction is, is complete nonsense.

Nothing gets on that floor, nothing gets on that program unless the head honchos in Fine Gael want it.

So if that motion is put to the, the floor, it's been put there as a fig leaf, it's been put there to signal to the base that, um, "Oh yeah, no, we're not a woke party, um, we're a center-right party," even though absolutely nothing will change.

They don't, they don't enact any of these motions that are passed.

So nothing will change.

Maybe it's time to start pandering to the public"? It is a huge shift and a massive U-turn for them to turn around and print not only his name, show us a picture, tell us where he's from, and say that it happened in an IPAS center all within 24 hours of this happening.
