A text at 5.30am saying that journalists were told to be at the Aras told me that last nights late night postering and rumours were finally indicative that it was about to start. (I read it, and rolled over and went back to sleep, I assume that the journalists responded accordingly.)
Press conferences and launches will be held all day (if only to make sure we all know that nobody was caught out!) Coverage, analysis and comment will be found here on Irish Election over the next 26 days and the days of the count. (A further 26 days….shurely not?)
Bertie’s now looking at a week of tribunal allegations. Why didn’t he call it last Sunday?
Perhaps he doesn’t think that there is anything that will touch him there?

is this an attempt to make it practically impossible for the court to rule for a re-draw (something that could have happened while McAleese was out of country)
