Needless to say if Ennis does pull ahead of Boylan on the first count, that will be a big story. But so too is Fianna Fail’s abysmal performance in Dub Central, and lacklustre in Galway too

New: RTÉ discontinues unvouched payments for board members. Chair of the board and other members were given lump sums, with RTÉ confirming there were no receipts for the expenses. Revelations likely to pile further pressure on beleaguered broadcaster thetimes.com/article/95f1580…
