The phrase “cat that got the cream” comes to mind.
With Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael neck and neck as counts continue in this year’s General Election, Fianna Fáil’s “comeback” has been a major topic of discussion.
Former Fianna Fáil TD Conor Lenihan spoke on an RTÉ Radio 1 panel last night, but was filmed making some pretty ballsy remarks before going live.

As expected, people weren’t amused.

@RTERadio1 If they go back to the electorate this clip is all that’s needed for the FG/LB campaign. Unbelievable arrogance.
