AT ABOUT 10pm on Saturday, I conceded for Maureen O’Sullivan. 

The Dublin Central TD is one of finest parliamentarians in the Dáil. She does not score points. She does not shout insults, or throw little bitter asides across the floor.

Since she was first elected in June 2009, she has performed as parliamentarians should, representing her constituency while always engaging with national issues, and concentrating on a few ones dear to her political heart.
