Tá sé mhí imithe uainn anois, ach go fóill tá daoine ag déanamh measúnú mórchúiseach ar an olltoghchán deiridh. D'fhéadfadh duine ar bith a dhéanamh amach maidin an chomháirimh nach toghchán maith a bhí ann do pháirtithe naheite clé, nó na páirtithe beaga i dTeach Laighean. Laethanta agus seachtainí ina dhiaidh sin dhein na comhfhreagraithe polaitiúla measúnú ar na cúiseanna éagsúla ar éirigh go maith le grúpaí áirithe, agus cén fáth nár éirigh chomh maith le grúpaí eile. I gcoitinne bhí tairbhe ag baint leis an mheasúnú céanna i dtosach ach, mar a dúirt mé, sé mhí níos déanaí, tá sé díreach thar fóir. Tá rialtas nua againn agus go leor botún déanta acu cheana. Tá sé in am dúinn uile bogadh ar aghaidh ón dtoghchán agus obair linn. Photo: Eamonn Gilmore Thousands attend Cullyhanna Commemoration
