Still deep in conversation with Mark Carney.

And Michael Healyway couldn't hand in his resignation letter.

And I was wondering, could he not have maybe slipped it under the floor or something, or under the door?

But I think this was seen, as many people in government, as a kind of bad way to do business.

Like, the Healyways...

Michael Healy-Ray spoke about negotiating with the government for that half a billion deal that they announced on Sunday night.

He said he was in negotiations in that.

And then when it came to the news, 6-1 on RTE, the vox pops off his local constituents...

were being done outside his own fuel-filling petrol station in Kilgarvan.

So he was in there negotiating as an owner of a petrol station, as someone who owns a contracting business, the family does, and he was trying to exert the best possible deal for that sector...

And then in the heel of the hunt, he said it wasn't enough and he did what was needed to protect his political business.

But the Healy Rays have always relied on this intersection between business and politics and they need the business connections are important and the politics connections for their business.

So you'd have to wonder if he damaged relations a lot with the government by the way he handled his resignation.

But the flip side is...

he got maximum drama out of it, maximum attention.

And I think a Hollywood producer could not have come up with the way he dramatically announced that resignation.

So that's the Healy Rays out of the way and done and dusted.

And we thought that story would linger for a few more days.

But 24 hours later and attention turns to the Fianna Fáil backbenchers.

He does TikToks from literally the cattle shed, feeding cattle, you know, which is quite the zeitgeist given all that's happened.
