Dublin Zoo & Fianna Fail

I wonder if the nominations will be reopened on foot of this letter?

Madam, - Why would Maggie, Dublin Zoo's orang-utan, choose this week, of all weeks, to attempt an "escape" - after 26 years in residence?

I suspect it is a gesture of gratitude to the nation that has given her a home all these years. I think she knows there's a vacancy to be filled. After all, didn't another Maggie once lead the British Tories? Clearly, Maggie has shambled forward to serve the nation in its hour of need. I urge Fianna Fáil to reopen nominations. - Yours, etc
