I may share it with you! :) But yes, someone along the lines of those you have suggested would be ideal. It would be great if they had ministerial expeirence, but being out of power for 13 years makes that hard!

I hope Leo leads after Bruton but I'd prefer for him to get some ministerial experience first. I know Cameron had none but even he has been around a good 10 years longer than Leo. Even Eamonn Gilmore spent 3 years as a junior minister. Leo Varadkar seems to be what you’re suggesting or even Simon Coveney or Dennis Naughten.
