The Healy-Rae family has always been a political dynasty but we doubt even they expected the success they'd have in the 2016 General Election.
Michael Healy-Rae retained his seat and his brother Danny also managed to get a seat. On their return to Leinster House today for the first sitting of the new Dáil, they had an impromptu concert outside to celebrate their success.
Thankfully those in attendance weren't in too much shock and they had to presence of mind to capture some video evidence.

Michael Healy-Rae: "We're all here, it's like a wedding! Except there's no bride, there's no groom, no wedding ring, and maybe an annulment"

Any excuse for Danny to show off his skills on the accordion.
