The new political faces aren’t given the same media coverage as the old ones

A while back, I was glancing through the Sligo Champion newspaper, and I noticed, a couple of pages in, the face of Tom MacSharry, the mayor of Sligo.

He had quite a write-up, about how he wanted to promote Sligo for the people, the community, the economy.

I quickly turned the page to find his brother’s face, Fianna Fáil Senator, Marc MacSharry, looking at me, telling me that he was planning to run in the next election.
