FG TD's Wife Goes Indy?

Anne Breen, the wife of Clare TD Pat Breen, is reportedly running in the local elections as an independent. Check out the front page of the Clare Champion (hint: it's in the middle of the puff piece headlined 'hospital campaigner joins election race). 

Strange stuff: a domestic squabble, a selection convention dispute, or something slightly stranger? You'll know when I do.

Update: it seems a simple case of over-represenation: the would-be Cllr. Anne Breen seemingly found little room on a ticket with sitting cllr. Oliver Garry and former party big beast Madeleine Taylor-Quinn. Embarking on a political solo run, however, may not be the best thing for Pat Breen - unless, of course she wins. In that case, all will be forgiven.

Update 2: A poster on politics.ie claims that Anne and Pat Breen are in fact estranged - which makes the situation even more delicate...
