In these uncertain times, when people feel unclear about the future and what it might hold, here's a a piece of news that should unite everyone in Ireland.
Pat Cox is considering running for election to the post of President of Ireland.

Pat Cox

Pat Cox

On RTE radio yesterday, Mr Cox, former member of the Progressive Democrats and famous as President of the European Parliament from 2002 to 2004, used to work for RTE as a TV presenter. He is now the President of European Movement International, a lobby group for further European integration.

His campaign will presumably be based on gratitude for all that that the EU has done for Ireland, and will be a chance to go over some of the ground covered in the Lisbon Treaty Referendums, in which he played an important part on the "YES" side.

It is widely believed that everyone in Ireland, on both left and right of the political spectrum, will be happy to see Pat Cox putting himself forward for the electorate to judge in September.
