PLACARDS

emblazoned with ‘I fancy Simon Harris’ were seen in the RDS count centre and at Dublin Castle yesterday. But the mood of love didn’t extend to all politicians. Radio presenter Saoirse Long of FM104 tweeted: ‘I just want to say if I could bunch you all in a room and smother you with hugs, I would. If you see me out and about today, please come hug me. I need it. Unless of course you’re Rónán Mullen, then please don’t hug me.’
