The would-be taoisigh on centre stage tonight have one thing in common anyway: all three were admirers of Bertie Ahern when he was taoiseach.
Micheál Martin served under Ahern in his three governments, Mary Lou McDonald was a member of Fianna Fáil in Ahern's Dublin Central, and Simon Harris was a member of the Ahern-era Fianna Fáil.
Of course, all three don't like being reminded of that period either.
The 'Tired and Tetchy Taoiseach' has to decide whether to raise the spectre of a Fianna Fáil-led coalition with Sinn Féin.
