Leo Varadkar and Mary Lou McDonald face off in battle for affections of Dublin funnyman Darren Conway

Dublin funnyman Darren Conway is at it again - and this time he's got Leo Varadkar and Mary Lou McDonald battling for his attention.

During Sinn Fein president Mary Lou's appearance on last night's Late Late show where she spoke about her COVID-19 experience, Darren tweeted a pic with the caption "Gewannn ma".

And with the spirit of a proper Irish mammy, Mary Lou replied: "Thank you son. Now clean your room."

It's not the first time that Mary Lou has replied to Darren - he previously told Dublin Live that she's quite a fan of his musings.

While Leo's response to Darren's tweet, which has almost 4,000 likes, showed how the Taoiseach is battling with people breaking social distancing rules.

Despite the rule flouting this weekend, the Fine Gael leader won't be throwing digs...yet.

Darren tweeted: "If you go outside 2km Leo Varadkar jumps out of a bush and starts swinging digs."

To which Leo replied: "Great idea, but I’ll resist temptation for now. Please stay home and abide by the restrictions."
