Heather Humphreys, TD, speaking in Dáil Éireann, has formally proposed Simon Harris as Taoiseach in the last few minutes.

Peter Burke, TD, has seconded the proposal of Simon Harris as Taoiseach.

Does anyone know why Simon Harris and Micheál Martin are wearing flowers with the colours of the suffragettes on their lapels today?

@Rubelicious Aha - thank you so much!

(I was worried it might be something to do with those 'The Countess' types.)

@clickhere they've dirtied the colours of the sufragettes, all right.

@Rubelicious Totally. They have some nerve appropriating Markievicz, or any of the Gore-Booths.

@Rubelicious @clickhere If only these two former Ministers for Health, government party leaders, and former/about to be Taoisigh were in a position to do anything to support people with CF.
But I guess they're wearing the pin their PR people got them, that's something.

@Des_egan @clickhere it reeks of some intern being sent out to buy, say, 50 of them so everyone can have one on for the camera

@Rubelicious @clickhere Except that CFI probably sent them to the relevant offices for promotion so they didn't even pay for them! (tbf we're now aware of it where we hadn't been before, so effective!)
