Quick Glance: Leo Varadkar: A Populist Who Struggled with Real People
  • In May 2002, a young party activist analyzed the defeat of Fine Gael under Michael Noonan, emphasizing that none of the former leaders were the expected messiah for the party.

  • Leo Varadkar's political legacy comprises valuable contributions, but he was never seen as a savior of the party. His ability to navigate contradictions made him a skilled politician, but he ultimately realized he couldn't balance on the political tightrope indefinitely.

  • Varadkar was described as a politician who straddled conservatism and an increasingly progressive society. Despite his rapid rise in politics and popularity during crises, he struggled to address long-term challenges in areas like healthcare and housing.

  • His popularity peaked during the Brexit crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic, where he was seen as a unifying and authoritative leader. However, he failed to effectively tackle long-term structural issues in Ireland, especially in healthcare and housing, as his neoliberal views did not offer compelling solutions.

'Enough Is Enough': Ireland Joins ICJ Genocide Case Against Israel
Quick Glance: Ireland's Involvement in South Africa's Case Against Israel Regarding Gaza Invasion
  • The government of Ireland is planning to engage in the case initiated by South Africa against Israel under the Genocide Convention at the International Court of Justice (ICJ).

  • With the aim of prioritizing the protection of civilians in the interpretation of the convention, Ireland intends to submit a Declaration of Intervention under Article 63 of the Statute of the International Court of Justice.

  • After a thorough analysis and consultation, the government has decided to intervene in the case, condemning the violation of international law due to the events in Israel and Gaza.

  • The filing of the declaration will occur post-government approval and after South Africa has submitted its memorial. Ireland will collaborate with other partners to intervene.
