The question now is: who will the PDs parachute in next?

AFTER successfully signing up Colm O’Gorman, the question now is who the PDs will approach next.

Given that he was a guest speaker at the PDs’ annual conference in Limerick last weekend, not surprisingly observers yesterday scrutinised the rest of the attendance list for clues.

Other guests included the Health Service Executive’s chief executive Brendan Drumm but, as political analyst and Irish Examiner columnist Noel Whelan wryly pointed out yesterday, he’ll probably be too busy in the year ahead to consider running for office.
