Do you desperately need another article about the elections or their aftermath or what should happen next? No, me neither. The only things I want to say really about the local and European elections is how great it was to see that there is still a good bit of life in Ireland’s oldest and most honourable political party. And how worthwhile it was to wait for a whole five days to see the back of Mick Wallace. I’d happily have waited 50.

That’s me done on election outcomes and the future, at least for now. I’m on holidays now, with all the most important people in my life, and you need to hear about them instead.
