The Examiner reckon that Bertie will make the announcement in the next 48 hours, fresh from his soujourn in Ballybrit. The Greens get two, with Dan Boyle and Deirdre de Burca as the selections, as do the PDs with a plethora of options (politics.ie report they are Ciaran Cannon and Fiona O Malley). The FF selections are said to be Dr Maurice Hayes, Paschal Mooney John Ellis, Martin Brady, Ollie Wilkinson, Joe Callanan, Ivor Callely and Cllr Deirdre Heney.
Politics.ie is suggesting that Bertie is going to nominate Eoghan Harris to the Seanad.

I’m not suggesting it, I’m saying it. Quite a contrast.
Brian O’Donnell, a Donegal councillor and defeated Seanad candidate, has just announced on local radio that he has got a Taoiseach’s nomination.
Why this unknown Brian O’Donnell?
Dirty tricks from minister of agriculture M. Coughlin who is in favour with the Taoseach.
She is safeguarding her future election chances by diminishing the popularity and vote of her party colleague Mr.Pat The CopeGallagher.
May backfire on her and Fianna Fail. Donegal,once a stronghold of Fianna Fail,it’s doubtful if they will retain this position in the next election
