Sir, – This whole quest for a new government would have a lot more credibility if Micheál Martin announced that he is recommending that Leo Varadkar remain as taoiseach until the new year. I am sure Mr Martin will be a very good leader. Just not right now.

We need the people who have brought us this far to continue doing their jobs and safely take us further. – Yours, etc,
