Ah - fair enough. I thought you had misread the word "marked" in the initial para. I haven't read any of their
PD pieces, but this is certainly fairly adulatory:

"PUT Mary in the driving seat," urged the slogans on top of the four turbo jeeps parked outside the Galway launch of the PDs election campaign yesterday. However, the Progressive Democrats leader, Ms Mary Harney, opted to travel by helicopter instead and flew from Dublin for the morning event, before continuing to Tullamore and Portlaoise.Surrounded by party colleagues and advisers, Ms Harney strode confidently through Eyre Square Shopping Centre shaking hands with passers-by.
