At least we know there will be one election in the north this year.

POLITICAL CORRESPONDENTS appear to be disinterested in the discernible differences between Taoiseach Leo Varadkar and Tánaiste Micheál Martin on Israel’s genocidal assault on Palestinians, including thousands of children, and also on their differences on Anglo-Irish issues (see The Phoenix Annual 2023 and edition 24/2/23).
