Leo Varadkar seems to be pulling away in the race to succeed Enda Kenny. But does it really matter whether it is Simon or Leo?
On this week's edition of Inside Politics, Fintan O'Toole and Pat Leahy discuss a contest that Fintan says is not even a struggle for the soul of Fine Gael, let alone the soul of Ireland, between two candidates who have failed to show real leadership on major social problems.
Inside Politics is hosted by Irish Times Culture Editor Hugh Linehan.
