Timing was key — his departure coincided with a looming no-confidence vote, but he’s not ruling out a political comeback, buoyed by support from industry players who valued his stance on fuel prices. While keeping family drama private with a simple “it is what it is,” he’s focused on the future, crediting ministers like Darragh O’Brien and Martin Heydon for their work on fuel negotiations and highlighting government investment in roads for safety. Though he’s not explicitly seeking a return, his warm words suggest doors remain open. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
