Wouldn't think so, not seen it in any newspaper, releasing a statement puts it front page news in all. At the minute the vast majority of voters will have no idea about this video.

What was it with those boys’ names?

I can’t imagine that there were many Cyprians and Roystons running about Dublin back in the day. 

And when I just looked up the Wikipedia page, they’ve got a brother called Fulton.

Not to derail but the name thing just spurred a random memory that in my first job in the shmoke, I worked for a few months with a lad called Houston Tilson. He was 100% born and bred Irish and lived along the coast road as you head I to Dun Laoghaire in one of those big houses.

No actually LOL  we all called him by his full name which annoyed him. We also used the phrase "we have a problem" a lot  when calling him over the radio.

He was elected 2nd when he reached the quota on the 5th count, but apart from that spot on. 

None of the other parties ran two candidates in this constituency, without a running mate he probably would have been elected on the first count.

So the rotation has happened. Will be interesting to see if there is much of a shake up in the cabinet.

Martin moving to Foreign Affairs isn't a surprise but I do think Coveney has been a good Minister with that brief. Glad that Catherine Martin retained her ministry, I know a lot of people in the arts that feel she has done more in her brief time than whole decades prior to it. 

Foley and O'Gorman retaining their positions is a joke but not surprising, I didn't expect much of a reshuffle

Hopefully this new group of ministers help fix the mess made by the last group.

Do you think someone else would go into that role and houses would magically appear overnight?  It takes time. Add in our daft planning laws etc etc adding to the delays. Sinn Fein would have a house before Xmas for everyone i suppose
