Not the limelight Callely craved

THE political year is going to end in 2005 just like it did last year - with a couple of ministerial heads on the rack.

But this time it’s a bit like Riverdance coming back into town, after Michael Flatley and Jean Butler have jigged off elsewhere.

This year it’s no longer Micheál Martin and Martin Cullen who are reeling furiously before our eyes. It’s a relatively unknown star this time but, boy, can he do some job out of a slip jig.
