A chara, – As seen in the Monday edition (June 21st) of The Irish Times.
Page 1: Leo Varadkar pronounces his wise counsel on the purchase of the new National Maternity Hospital site.
Page 1: In the blurb for page 3, we see that Leo Varadkar urges the DUP to honour agreements.

Page 3: “Varadkar urges DUP to ‘honour its commitments’ on Irish language’’.
Page 4: Varadkar’s concerns and “intimations” over site for new National Maternity Hospital.
Page 4: “Pandemic must leave positive legacy, says Tánaiste.”
Page 4: Varadkar’s ardfheis speech: “Varadkar dances a leftward shimmy to pair Fine Gael’s old favourites.”
I did check out the Sport section for Mr Varadkar’s tips for the Southwell and Ballinrobe races but, sadly, nothing doing.
Taoiseach Micheál Martin and Green Party leader Eamon Ryan also get a fleeting mention in some of these articles.
But no mention at all of the leader of the Opposition, who happens to be the leader of what the polls consider to be the most popular party in the country – north and south.
How come? – Is mise,
