CLODAGH FINN: Time to fly flag for late starters... before it’s too late

Those who jump out of bed with the first bleep of the alarm clock emit a sort of nauseating righteousness that is hard to take. Let’s not allow them to get away with thinking they are the hardest-working ones too, writes Clodagh Finn.

IF LEO Varadkar wins the Fine Gael leadership contest and becomes, as he has promised, a Taoiseach for early risers, let’s hope he will be magnanimous enough to appoint a Tánaiste for night owls.

Otherwise, he’s in danger of going about his business with the unbearable smugness of those who believe themselves superior because they’re up with the lark.
