Rather than reflecting on why they got things wrong during the election campaign, a distressingly significant section of Ireland's commentariat instead have gone into an active denial of reality, publishing "analysis" with zero relationship with the real world. This is a self-made crisis for media!

Speaking to members of the public, they connected with what they felt were the Independent TD's compassion, decency, and warmth.

Not only is this on track to be the highest FPV% ever in a Presidential election, it's also going to be the highest raw vote total in a Presidential election. Historic performance from Catherine Connolly. #Áras25

114 children made homeless in a month, and the Minister responsible is telling us there's no way to stop this.
That's 114 kids who will be back to school in a month. Darragh O'Brien's real role in the last Government was to normalise these updates, and I guess on that metric he was a success
