Europe is likely to be a recurring theme in Irish politics during 2019.

Now I know last week in the aftermath of Christmas I wished you all a Happy New Year. But I am compiling this on January 1, 2019, so I think it is only appropriate that I would repeat my New Year message to each and every one of my readers.

So it will be very intriguing to see the results and to see whether the Democrats will come back in charge of the House of Representatives.
