With Irish presidential announcements flying left and right, you could be forgiven for missing the candidacy of RTĂ presenter and meteorologist Joanna Donnelly. Her campaign for the Ăras job lasted all of three days - she announced herself as seeking nominations this Tuesday, before withdrawing on Friday, saying, "I've come to realise how wholly unprepared I am."

Well well. Today's Irish political news was - potent enough to make me create this blog. Let me explain the scenes.
So since the last election here there have been negotiations between major parties and a group of non-party politicians to form a new government, which was intended to result in its election today. However, there's an argument over those independents' role which boiled over here.
In short, the independents who aren't ministers wanted to form a group that would let them speak as opposition members - despite being signed up to the government. If this sounds like a load of bollocks it's because it is.
To make matters worse, because of those negotiations the chairperson (who is meant to rule on stuff like this) is a member of that independent group. And has claimed to have legal advice which allows it (which right now is unpublished).
And combining this with the House planning to take 2 weeks off right after the government formation - not unheard of but hard to justify, given it's met once since the November election - and yeah.
So what we've had are 3 separate suspensions of the House, finally culminating in adjournment till tomorrow. And no new government.
Oh and those independents? Well, some of their opposition colleagues are after walking away, which means they might not end up with enough people to form the group anyway.
Funny day.

The Whos and Whats of Irish Politics
So one of the disadvantages (read: advantages) of our use of actual Irish terms in politics - and not much anywhere else - is that it can make the more close-minded Brits (and Yanks) combust on sight. Rather than clean that up or leave a translation every time I have to use na fĂłclĂłirĂ seo, I'm going to make this glossary post which can explain both the Irish terms we use and whatever else you ought to know about this country's politics.
27th September 2015: Fianna FĂĄil senator Jim Walsh admitted to editing his own Wikipedia page, claiming it had been vandalised by "a person from the gay lobby groups". UCD lecturer TJ McIntyre had drawn attention to a number of edits that month, whose IP address matched that of the Oireachtas buildings:
