Paddy Clancy column: Why is Leo Varadkar still harping on about Brexit?
Few of us are surprised by Taoiseach Leo Varadkar’s announcement that British people are ignorant about Ireland and its history whereas Irish people know a lot about Britain.
Britain exits the EU on Friday night and a week later Leo goes to the polls in Ireland seeking re-election. It may be why he called Ireland’s election so close to Britain’s departure from the EU. With Irish people overjoyed at the success of the Brexit negotiations Fine Gael would surely romp back to governmental power.Fianna Fail leads the race and a Fianna Fail/Greens/Independents combination seems the most likely winning coalition.
They probably didn’t even care that the secret summit between Boris Johnson and Leo near Liverpool in October broke the Brexit deadlock.
