I'm no fan of Sinn Féin, but it's difficult to dismiss the fact that Mary Lou McDonald comes across as a much more effective and personable politician than both Micheál Martin and Simon Harris, who often appear awkward, uncomfortable, and robotic.

I don't usually like ads, but this one for Volvo caught my eye. It's very impressive.
