    Who are the political correspondents of the Irish Independent?
    I have heard the red head guy with the country accent on radio but can never remember the chap's name. He is married to some Dublin inner city bird.
    Her diction is very poor. I saw her on the VB show and my God she cannot string a sentence together. Somebody said she never mentioned her husband works as the PC of the Indo.
    But who else is there. There was a wee girl with a northy accent on the VB show who I think was also from the II. Can't remember her name.
    Can somebody advise the guy who writes for the EXaminer to get himself some decent clothes when appearing on telly instead of looking like he just got in from herding the goats. I forget his name, but he has a real culchie accent, kind of curly hair but going light on top. Dirty looking open neck shirt.

    Are you going to critique their journalistic writing or are you just commenting on their looks, accent and their choice of partners. This is AH stuff tbf.

    Very true, If you've already done a 14-hour shift and have to go out to VB chances are you're gonna look a bit wrecked. It's not like that's all you do all day.
    The Indo's political staff are:
    Fionnan Sheahan
    Michael Brennan
    Fiach Kelly
    Aine Kerr

    I don't know about Fiach Kelly but the others are definitely not from the North.

    Is she not entitled to have a career and identify separate from her husband?

    Nobody ever introduces Brian Lenihan T.D. as 'the husband of Circuit Court Judge Patricia Ryan'. Why? Because he's a man, why should it be different for women?

    Fiach Kelly is from the North, North Co Dublin to be precise.
