It has worked very well. There has been some progress but the Bill has been stalled because of the opposition of one senator — Tom Cotton of Arkansas. He has said he made up his mind a long time ago to leave politics and informed Varadkar in March. He had not made his mind up yet on his future but has said he has had a few offers, and could be US-based for some of the time. It has become a very strange animal. It has become chronically uncertain for people who have become elected. Those comments typify his style — which is to call it as he sees it, regardless of if it rubs people up the wrong way.

But he was appointed to nothing and was said by colleagues to be inconsolable over the rejection. However, Mr Varadkar did give him the not-insignificant role of Government envoy to the United States. For the past two years, Mr Deasy has been back and forth to Washington DC working on a plan to secure access to E3 visas for undocumented Irish emigrants.
While some progress has been made, it is still awaiting congressional approval. Mr Deasy's departure from politics comes in the wake of a major row in the Fine Gael organisation in Waterford, where there have been tensions for many years, including between Mr Deasy and former minister Paudie Coffey.
It was Mr Coffey's brother who tabled a motion of no confidence in Mr Deasy that was driven by members' anger at his performance - or lack of it - as a Waterford TD. But Mr Deasy defended his constituency work and escalated matters by claiming there had been bullying - a claim backed up by a former local election candidate - that had been ignored for years.
Personality clashes and rivalries that have endured for years appeared to have come to a head and had been exacerbated by a middling local election performance for Fine Gael in Waterford.
