Aisling Moloney

Very capable orator.

speaks Irish.

You know, that's a big plus as well.

So, you know, he's well able to, you know, ward off the barbs from Sinn Féin, particularly he was housing minister.

And so many housing ministers were poisoned by that chalice.

And he wasn't, really.

I mean, you can, people say, oh, but he was housing minister.

But I don't think actually that criticism is sticking in a way.

And he was able to ward off

You know, Owen O'Brien, who's seen, you know, Sinn Féin's housing spokesperson, was just seen as an expert in the area.

He was very capable at holding him off for four years.

So I think there will be questions in the minds of many of these people.

And also, we haven't mentioned any of the female members of Fianna Fáil.

And one of the big things of Fianna Fáil is they have a problem with attracting women into their party.

And they have a small number of women in their party.

And we've got Norma Foley, who is the Minister for...

And we've got the government chief with Mary Butler.

And those are kind of the most senior women in the party.

And I suppose, you know, I haven't mentioned them because they aren't being seen in a leadership role.

But that's not to say that that's not possible.
