Was great to speak to @thejournal.ie for their Explainer podcast on nomination routes for the presidential election. Lots of candidates appearing before councils now but it’s an uphill battle . Could be a very short presidential ballot.

Congratulations Olof 🎉. Fond memories of your time with us in the Department of Government and Politics @UCC. Best wishes in your new role. @johbees @CACSSS1 @GovUCC @uccgovpol.
When I was 23 the editor of my local paper @themayonews took a chance on me & gave me my 1st paid writing job.
20 years later (!) the same paper did a piece on my new job & it felt like things coming full circle.
One doesn’t happen without the other. 🙏

Good to hear @ESchonQuinlivan on @RTENewsAtOne discussing the unfolding drama in French politics. An increasingly unstable situation which may even result in an early presidential election. One to watch. 🇨🇵 @UCC @CACSSS1 @GovUCC @johbees @uccgovpol @UCCResearch
