“once [Brexit and Covid] were behind him, he was left with the persistent long-term questions of underdevelopment in housing, healthcare and so many other areas of public provision, for which his faith in “simple market dynamics” provided no convincing answers…it is not just #Varadkar himself who has run out of road. It is the whole idea of trying to govern a rapidly expanding State while sticking to a market ideology.’ - O’Toole

#Varadkar spoke a great game, and led #Ireland exceptionally well through Brexit and Covid. For that, he deserves our thanks and respect.
Alas, in other arenas, his actions, voting, and policies did not live up to his words, and he was getting worse. Harsh as it sounds, resignation is the best thing he could do for his legacy.

Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar announces surprise resignation.
CNN reports: "Varadkar first became prime minister in 2017, after being elected leader of the Fine Gael party. He is the country’s youngest premier and Ireland’s first gay leader."

"personal and political reasons" is the most perfect summary of his whole career
never did anything for anyone except himself

Just watched Varadkar resignation statement. Seems to me he’s been shoved out by the powers that be in the Fine Gael party. Shades of a tearful Thatcher.

#Varadkar anuncia su marcha por sorpresa —en principio por razones personales, pero también es cierto que su partido no termina de carburar en los sondeos y, si hay alguien que debería ser incapaz de dar las elecciones de 2025 por perdidas ante Sinn Féin como hace todo el mundo, esos son Fine Gael

Leo #Varadkar (#FG|EPP) rimarrà in carica fino a quando non verrà eletto un nuovo leader di FG. Paschal #Donohoe, Simon #Harris, Simon #Coveney e Heather #Humphreys sono tra i nomi ipotizzati per succederlo.
Il nuovo leader di FG manterrà la carica di Taoiseach (Primo Ministro) per il resto del mandato di questo governo (previsto per inizio 2025). -

#Varadkar says arrests will be made over recent arson attacks around the country
https://www.thejournal.ie/arson-attacks-asylum-seeker-accommodation-arrests-varadkar-6275506-Jan2024/ << if accurately reported, this is poor by Varadkar and implies race might be a certain group in society, but migrants are not. It also conflates (as FF and FG tend to) migrants and refugees.At very best, it was careless. However, when politicians keep making the same "mistakes" in statements, they are not making mistakes.

#EU leaders are promising #Ukraine will still get its €50 billion aid package to help prop up its war-shattered economy against Russian invasion — with or without the backing of Hungarian PM Viktor #Orbán.
“It’s possible for the 26 member states to provide the money on a bilateral basis,” #Irish Prime Minister Leo #Varadkar told reporters after the European Council in the Belgian capital. “A bit of time and space over the #Christmas period might help.”

Wow. Israeli President publicly attempts to edit (ghostwrite?) #Varadkar's statement about #EmilyHand.

Ireland’s prime minister has said he is concerned to see the UK “disengaging from the world”, and accused it of turning inwards by leaving the EU, slashing international aid and now considering abandoning a human rights treaty.
Leo Varadkar warned that Brexit, aid cuts and talk of abandoning the European Convention on Human Rights are ‘not the Britain I know’.

Taoiseach, Leo #Varadkar, announced an investigation into reports of components made in #Ireland found in Iranian-made drone used to attack a location in Mykolaiv, #Ukraine
The reports suggest that the component is made my #Taoglas, which makes attennae
Taoglas is a tenant in #DCU Alpha, Glasnevin
Taoglas may never, ever intend for their components be used to kill (if reports are true), but this is why #ArmsControl activists have for decades campaigned for controls on "dual use" components

Poster of Taoiseach Leo #Varadkar burned on #loyalist bonfire in Tyrone
https://www.thejournal.ie/irish-flag-poster-varadkar-loyalist-bonfire-tyrone-6113754-Jul2023/
<< For his (with #RTE / #FG) attempts to embrace loyalist views?No, #NI #bonfire builders don't give a damn about misguided #Irish middle-class delusions, or short-sighted trolling of SF. His image is simply being burnt as he represents Ireland.
Such hateful festivals will never moderate or compromise. They are the smouldering reminders of a long burnt-out imperialist worldview.
