Every evening, TheJournal.ie brings your Daily Fix: all the highlights of today’s campaign trail.
GOOD DAY FOR:
- Political reform – The manifestos of the three biggest political parties were unveiled today, proposing everything from the banning of corporate donations to political parties, to a new Constitution, to the abolition of the Seanad. Now all they have to do is win the election and keep their promises…
- Vincent Browne – If Enda Kenny was trying to ensure that Browne would dominate newspapers and radio for days on end he’s done a sterling job. As they say: no publicity is bad publicity… um unless you’re Enda.
- The posed election photo – Eoghan Murphy (FG) takes first prize for getting papped battling the wind and rain to pass an election leaflet to a swimmer at the Great South Wall. As it turns out, however, the potential voter was someone who works full-time in Murphy’s campaign office.
BAD DAY FOR:
- Dylan Haskins – Who has people torn over whether he looks more like Julian Assange or Jedward. It’s a difficult position to be in: would you prefer to be linked to someone who has made an army of enemies across the globe, or Julian Assange?
- Éamon Ó Cuiv – Who was snapped taking forty winks at the FF Manifesto Launch. Or maybe he was just concentrating really hard… what do you think (see below).

AWKWARD JUXTAPOSITION OF THE DAY: Oh dear. Somebody will have some explaining to do at Election Poster Hangers’ HQ tonight… (see below).
