A deputy resigns - Too many losers, just one winner

THOUGH George Lee took the limelight for the most regrettable reasons yesterday the real losers were Enda Kenny, Fine Gael and our parliamentary democracy.

The resignation is a symptom of what is wrong with our dynastic, dysfunctional political system.

George Lee’s decision to quit politics represents the third profound public humiliation in a very short time for Enda Kenny. His performances on the Late Late Show, and with Ivan Yates on Newstalk, were tragically inept and would not have passed muster at a minor schools’ debate.
