The Irish Independent's View: Mary Lou McDonald's decision shows Sinn Fein is off the pace in race for Aras

She is a skilful campaigner and has repeatedly proven herself as a formidable debater - invaluable traits on the hustings. Some argue she is such a totem for Sinn Féin that were she to lose, she could damage both her own prospects and those of the party, so inextricably are their fates linked.
