"In Pat Rabbitte in charge?"

Yes.

All of the issues you mention, are evidence that he is talking to the media, not evidence that he is making decisions and " in charge".

Its August, half the journalists are on vacation and the other half want
an easy month - If Pat Rabbitte is the easiest politician to contact and get a quote, that is what they will do.

You'll be missing this soon, when they are all back and the news will be full of whinging politicians again, instead of stories about the weather and the polutted beaches.
