Varadkar happy to make cuts in his spare time

MINISTER FOR Transport, Tourism and Sport Leo Varadkar was taking a hands-on approach at the weekend by participating in a post-election clean-up of his Dublin West constituency.

Assisted by voluntary labour from local branches of Fine Gael, the Minister devoted his spare time to removing 10,000 cable-ties which remained in Blanchardstown and Castleknock after election posters were taken down.

“We had a very busy election, as you know, and one of the things that people complain about the most is all the cable-ties that are left on the poles after election time.

“Some of my campaign workers felt that we’d make a special effort to put in a few weeks of work after the election taking down cable-ties from all parties in Dublin West.

“We’ve taken down over 10,000 cable-ties in the Blanchardstown and Castleknock areas, making the place look a little bit better before the tourist season begins.

“And we’re encouraging other people to do the same in their communities,” he said.

The Minister adopted a cross-party approach to the task by removing cable-ties from all the different parties.

“The black ones are Fianna Fáil,” he said.
