Weird – I can’t find anyone else on google with the name Varadkar.
What planet is he from? I’m guessing Klingon.

Will Minister Varadkar be handing Gabriel Byrne over to Minister Hogan’s office, where he shall be severely dealt with.

I reckon that Gabriel is getting a lot more kisses than the minister !!! And what’s with the comment ‘women of a certain age’? Old boys mentality still alive and living in Irish government!!!!!

Does Leo have a secret crush? That looks very like his lip print…..

In fairness, Leo, I’d say more ladies, regardless of age, fancy him than you.

Yes Mary youre right….to be PC, he should have said that men of a certain age fancy him as well! When will they ever learn!

Varadkar should do his job on transport. We have the 24th slowest trains in the EU out of 28 countries. Irish rail got faster interciy trains and the tracks can’t tolerate the small increase in speed.
This only happens with t organisations.

Wish it was me..

No doubt varadkar and hogan are coming up with a tax to shut Gabriel up with.

it was me

thanking him for pointing out the motioves of a small bunch of irelands social and personal brigade droning on about the countrys image

why dont they just hold another coffee morning instead. draw up lists of their freinds names for another few committees and quangos and then sit back and relax in that smug glow that invariably emanates from groups such as this

tourism? jesus, they make me want to emigrate

just when we thought all that nonsese cowen had come up with about ‘brand ireland’ had gone away!

Who’s been kissing Gabriel Byrne?

Guilty, as charged.

i think its kind of refreshing actually that a politician actually says what he is thinking instead of churning out the same old tired cliches..more of the same please.human beings with opinions over robotic political soundbites any day.now you too..get in a ring for charity..aka our national debt whiparound.byrne in the 2nd..T.K.O.

Gabriel Byrne has been kissing Gabriel Byrne…great actor though.

Turned right off him after he insulted out Taoiseach and our efforts to create a more positive image of Ireland abroad. No surprise though that he attacked this government when it was FF that made him cultural ambassador.
