Tánaiste Leo Varadkar: Sought and managed to do what all leaders hope to do in such a speech. 

Opening his party’s online ard fheis on Tuesday night, Tánaiste Leo Varadkar sought and managed to do what all leaders hope to do in such a speech.

Rally their own troops, kick the Opposition for being hopeless, and suggest some mad and controversial idea that garners headlines and provokes a firestorm, thereby guaranteeing some noise around said conference.
