Day 69 since election is apt for new government

Voting, on day 69, for a new government and an old Taoiseach, should, according to numerology, bring about idealism, family, health, harmony and compassion.

In Chinese philosophy, the number 69 also stands for ying and yang, which describe how opposite, or contrary forces, are actually complementary. This describes the new government perfectly.
