We already have a loser in the Presidential election — Fianna Fáil

WHAT a historic weekend.

I still haven’t recovered my composure after getting up early to watch Ireland play probably their greatest ever rugby match on Saturday morning. I’ve even watched a replay of the match several times, because I find it almost incomprehensible that ordinary humans could dig that deep.

The stories emanating from the dressing room after the match told their own tale: Of a team determined to do themselves and their country proud, a group of men who knew they hadn’t given of their very best — and that nothing but their best would be enough and players whose bond was as strong as it could possibly be.
