Brian, pardon my meddling, but here are two men fit for promotion

DEAR Taoiseach-in-waiting, not long to go now. At 2.30pm tomorrow, the house will be called to order and nominations will be put in place for the office of taoiseach. There may be some wrangling about the procedures, which would be normal enough.

And it’s just possible, though it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense, that some the opposition will nominate Enda Kenny for the office and force a vote.

Others will argue that instead of nominations for a new taoiseach, the people should be asked once more who should have the mandate.
