One thing overlooked in the talk about heaves is that Micheál Martin would like to be leader for the Centenary of Fianna Fáil which is next year.
So there may be some tacit agreement of him standing down next Summer.

There's no point arguing about why European painting improved so rapidly at the end of the middle ages; it's a matter of perspective.

People like to complain about ivory towers but if you had two of them in front of an elephant castle that would be awesome.

It's going to take heroic vote management to make Humphreys come third.

Behold, a token remnant from an old, antiquated British institution. Often ridiculed for it's apparent lack of ability to relate to modern life and often accused of corruption.
