Date : Friday 2.6.17, The Mansion House, Dublin, Ireland. Pictured @ The Fine Gael count centre between 2 persons, Simon Coveney & Leo Varadkar. Leo won, his family & friends were there incl. his boyfriend - Matthew Barrett. Matt hung out with Eamon Farrell & Steven Mannion. When Leo gave a press conference @ 7.30ish, Matt sat in the front row wearing a Leo badge, then @ the very end, he popped into a group photo (not standing near Leo), then when most of the media had gone - he went over to Leo for a chat, that's when I took the pics. Both walked out of the M House together before they seperated, Matt hung outside The M House while Leo walked over to O' Donoghues pub where he met John Deasy TD, Heather Humphries TD along with Eamon & Steven & many more turned up for drinks. I waited 30 mins, no sign of Matt (maybe he had to go to work !!). L to r: Dr. Matt Barrett & new leader of Fine Gael - Leo Varadkar TD. Pics : Mark Doyle 087-2837342, Dublin, Ireland.
