Sir, – The coming together of the two Civil War parties in a coalition government has excited some public comment. While the coalition is unique, it is hardly surprising (“Parties agree programme for government”, irishtimes.com, June 15th). Assuming Micheál Martin becomes the first rotating taoiseach, I wonder would Leo Varadkar take the plunge into the Department of Heath – in the national interest of course? Didn’t Kevin “Boxer” Moran and Seán Canney have an “agreed timeline” for the rotation of their portfolio in 2018 as well? Sir, – If the new government promises a rotating taoiseach will that make Leo Varadkar a spin doctor?
