There's an undeniable buzz around Fine Gael at the moment, with the party in a much different place from just 12 months ago, when it struggled to marshal all its TDs and senators together for the annual think-in.

That “new energy” can be largely attributed to the frenetic pace set by party leader and Taoiseach, Simon Harris, who seized the top job at a time when Fine Gael appeared tired - flagging after 14 long years in government.
