Our incoming Taoiseach is a bit like the Christmas present no-one wanted but unfortunately, unlike a bottle of dud wine, we can’t return him or pass him on.
Leo Varadkar will become Taoiseach again on December 17 even if it’s not what the country wants or needs right now.
He becomes prime minister not because he was elected but as part of a backroom deal done with Micheal Martin, who was so desperate for the post he agreed to what amounted to a timeshare agreement for the office.
