Daniel McConnell: The curse of the two taoisigh is making coalition ineffective

There is no doubt Micheál Martin and Leo Varadkar are not friends but as tensions continue to emerge in government, can the old rivals continue to work together for the benefit of the country, asks Daniel McConnell.

Fianna Fail leader Micheal Martin and Fine Gael leader Leo Varadkar. Let there be no doubn, these two men are not friends.

There is a deep dysfunction at the heart of our government.

Bedevilled by internal distrust, suspicion and competing egos, the greatest danger to its ability to succeed lies within.
