2016 WAS QUITE the year.
Trump’s presidency, Brexit, more celebrity deaths than we care to mention… to some it was a time to celebrate, to others it felt like an annus horribilis.
With a new year about to dawn, it’s the chance to breathe a sigh of relief and cast our mind back – for a moment – to the things we’ll be glad to see the back of in 2017.
Then we get onto the good stuff: focusing on the positive moments yet to await us in 2017. Because it can’t get any worse… surely.
We asked our reporters what they’ll be glad to see the back of in 2017. Tell us yours in the comments below. We’re all in this together.

@Thomas Brophy: who? IDF? Kamala? Junior cert students?
