Some of the hot takes on Catherine Connolly's victory to become the next Uachtar谩n na h脡ireann in the English media this morning really do show them up. They still have no clue about Ireland, how it thinks and what makes it tick.
If you think Catherine is outspoken did you miss the last 14 years of the Michael D Higgins Presidency.
Maybe they should stick to just lavishly praising Nigel and Reform and leave Irish journalists cover their election results.
RT脡 are still talking about Maria Steen - I think they were looking forward to the entertainment value of her candidacy.
They're complaining that it's "a bit dull".
Much as I like the entertainment that elections bring that's not their purpose Democracy should be dull, when it's not dull, terrible things can happen.
