I f Micheál Martin was looking for a gentle palate cleanser, after his late night debating nine other political minds on the television, Ballyjamesduff was happy to oblige.

The Fianna Fáil leader arrived in town in time for the weekly cattle mart, and seemed none the worse for wear for his debate experience.
