	1. Well-written:
	1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct.	Will be doing a thorough read through. I've identified one grammar mistake.
	1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.	Lead needs to provide a much better summary of the article. Missing are: Candidates and any prominent selection details; Election campaign and debates; The nature of the result and any post-result comments.
	2. Verifiable with no original research:
	2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.	#9 needs changing - a proper reference to the particularly report and a source for the suggestion the Irish version prevails (possibly in that report, I don't know). Otherwise seems fine.
	2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).
	2c. it contains no original research.
	3. Broad in its coverage:
	3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic.
	3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).
	4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
	5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.
	6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
	6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content.	SHame we have no free photo for Dana Rosemary Scallon, but there's not much we can do about that.
	6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.
	7. Overall assessment.	Waiting on the lead and one reference change (that's all I can see, I may find more to bring up). On hold for 7 days.

Failing now as issues haven't been addressed in two weeks. Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 17:31, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
