Dublin West constituents have been left “disappointed” by the resignation of Taoiseach Leo Varadkar.
“They did mention how much he had done for the local area and he was supporting local councillors with different issues they might have with infrastructure and planning in the area.
“There is a concern now that this support might lapse a bit but the general sense was shock – some people also said it wasn’t really a loss.”One woman told Sheila in Castleknock today she had only heard the news ten minutes ago and was very disappointed.“I think he would probably have been under a lot of pressure since the referendum and I don’t like to see anyone disenfranchised.
“I think it’s good for us in Castleknock to have so many public representatives; we have himself, Jack Chambers and Roderic O’Gorman.Another woman said being Taoiseach is a “tough job for anyone” to take on.“He’s a young man and you’d like to think he had a bit more time left in him.“He served the constituency pretty well over the past couple of years and it’s good to have someone of his level in Cabinet representing our area - It’s a sad day in Castleknock for him to go.
