So, Taoiseach Bertie Ahern has announced that whatever happens, and whenever it happens, the day set for the upcoming general election will be a Thursday. Bertie, in his usual jovial fashion, doesn't set out reasons for this .
It's been noted however that the 'Boss' is pretty wary of the youth vote and would prefer if they weren't around on that day. It's a masterstroke, as most concerned young people will be away at College, or as it's a Thursday, drunk. The cheeky monkey, next he'll be buying the emerging Republican vote with extravegant Rising commemerations and lashing out massive squids for the upkeep of a cemetry.. Oh wait...
