THE WEEK THAT WAS…. SDLP delegates gearing up to choose their illustrious new leader should spend time studying the fortunes of the UUP since it elected Tom Elliott leader in the wake of poor election results. Shuffling faces at the top has yet to pay dividends with the electorate or change perceptions that the party [...]
THE WEEK THAT WAS…. Given the banality of much of the proceedings of the Assembly, one could almost forgive MLAs for staying away from debates in droves if they weren’t so handsomely rewarded and not so quick to complain when the press doesn’t demonstrate an appropriate level of interest in their ruminations. That said, instances [...]

So the race for the Aras has seven runners. Even Marlon Brando would not call them contenders, as few if any, really has what it takes to be President of Ireland.
