It’s useless to expect competence from Fine Gael brass

YOU can have an implausibility of gnus, a deceit of lapwings, and a sneak of weasels, but what would the collective noun for a group of ex-Fine Gael leaders be? Ah, yes — a uselessness.

Another week of unravelling chaos for the Government began with a sinister little giggle from Fine Gael’s second most useless leader, Michael Noonan, who signalled that he would do nothing to rein-in Fine Gael’s all-time most useless leader, Alan Dukes.

How blessed are we to have such a burgeoning uselessness of Blueshirt leaders in public life — shame they do not act in the public good.
