The first role of the new Dáil, on March 10, will be the appointment, in secret ballot, of the ceann comhairle. I propose Katherine Zappone.

I propose a template for resolving the political impasse and for providing a more inclusive, democratic government.

The papal election from 1268 to 1271 was the longest in history. After two years of infighting, the magistrates of Viterbo locked the cardinals inside, reduced their food to bread and water and removed the roof over their heads.

Someone asked me what I thought about Donald Trump..I said, takeaway the T.

I do not have sympathy for those TDs who ‘lost’ their Dail seats.

What I have noticed over the last few years is that decent taxpayers are always held individually responsible for their actions by the law.
