Verrry interesting, paddymac. Thank you. Sheds light on it.

I must say, albeit somewhat begrudgingly, that it sounds like the nimble Trimble is trying to keep a lid on the situation.

Geez, are they that scared of Sinn Fein winning, what? maybe 2 additional seats in Dail Eireann in the Republic---thus tripling their present bloc of 1 out of 160?
