Micheál Martin has my vote of confidence
While always a committed FFer, he actually knew what he was talking about and was as articulate a communicator then as now. As a teacher then he was more a collegiate than an authority figure, which is probably why I always enjoyed his classes as they were mutually instructive. I always saw him as more chairman, and less chief executive. Finally on Jan 16 he took the less travelled road of CEO in making an individual decision for the collective aggregate.
His student report could read:
1) Micheál Martin is proof of the primacy and potency of evolution over creationist intelligent design.
2) As a history student and teacher of history, he knows that it repeats itself first as tragedy, then as farce, to wit: The 1980s heaves against CJ giving birth to the PDs = Farce. Q.E.D!
3) He is a convention-conviction politician, combining principle with pragmatism. Normally these are mutually exclusive in Irish politics.
4) Those who can, do. Those who can’t, teach.
5) Having evolved from being a teacher of history, he is his own best student and not by his TD seat of his pants.
Addendum: Good effort, thicker skin grown from and for slings and arrows of Dáil Eireann. Must fail better, who dares wins. Confidence is capital. He has potential to win any vote of confidence, PR Vote No 1.
