No Irish party sends their top people to the Seanad any more than British parties send their key people to the House of Lords. There are three possible explanations.belfasttelegraph.co.ukMurphy’s baffling decision to leave Stormont and head south could backfire badly for Sinn FeinThere are political manoeuvres which are obviously clever; ones which are obviously stupid; and ones which demonstrably are based on some hidden reasoning. 073
