Simon Coveney takes issue with Leo Varadkar's United Ireland tagline

Simon Coveney says he can win the fight to be the next Fine Gael leader and Taoiseach by just 2% if he can reverse just six votes for his rival and win the support of most members and councillors, writes Juno McEnroe of the Irish Examiner.

The Housing Minister also had a pop off his rival's plans for Fine Gael to tag a United Ireland to its name, by declaring he said this already this week and it had existed anyhow for decades.
