The General Election has yet to be called but the campaigning is already under way.
First out of the traps is Kerry South TD Michael Healy-Rae who, this morning, released a music video to promote his campaign to be returned to the Dáil.
Written and performed by local Kerry band Truly Diverse, it seems to be a reworking of this song from Marty Mone and features lines such as:
"Make your vote and pray, that he goes all the way. He’s flat to the mat with his black cap and there’s no time for tae."
Healy-Rae says the band "did a great job" and also went on to say "there might be more to come in the coming weeks".
You've been warned.
