Lights , camera... but where's the election action?
We're nearing the end of week one, but things have yet to catch fire on the campaign trail. Is the sparring between Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil a sham or serious agro brewing?

Election sprint, Trump's back and still more Total War
And they're (almost) off! A three week sprint and then we'll vote. Micheál Martin's neat footwork kept him centre-stage while Simon Harris made up his mind.

Mairéad Farrell is the woman of the moment, apparently on the cusp on taking the helm of the powerful PAC, following the shock departure of Brian Stanley. But how many meetings will the Galway TD get to chair before an election is called? 29 November, anyone? Sinn Féin slogged through the week from hell, but it hasn't managed to turn the page.
