Storyline

When the local TP (Irish republican MP) and national figure is buried, father MacAnally convinces devout Brian Quigley to stand against his party's succession-candidate, Sean Dooley, who still meddles with Brian's campaign-timed donation for the people-ignored church restoration fund. Donal Doherty meanwhile dug up some bones on Quigley's building site which may be human.
