Sceptics only need to tune in to see how gifted and grounded these young women are. A longstanding political enthusiast maintains a fixed Tuesday viewing routine, switching among RTÉ's Prime Time, Kieran Cuddihy's Tonight Show on Virgin Media and Anna Botting on Sky News. The routine centres on live political coverage and anticipation of developments in the race for the Áras.
