Mainly kite flying from SF here, but with FF & FG effectively abstaining from the election, plenty of PR opportunities/airtime for SF, particularly as none of the other candidates, or people who have declared an interest, seem remotely credible. Think all we are missing so far is the right wing catholic fundamentalist candidate endorsed by the Iona Institute and John Waters. So the SF candidate, whoever he or she may be will provide the 'main' opposition this time around.

This thing is half officially underway, as a few independent candidates spoke in front of Waterford Co Council today with a view to seeking their nomination.
Before that, we have had ex GAA President Liam O'Neill rule himself out of the running (he was never in the running) and Senator Gerard Craughwell, whomever he may be, also drop out due to financial constraints, having got his 15 minutes of media exposure, probably mainly reminding whoever voted or nominated him for the Seanad in the first place that he still exists. Objective achieved. Gavan Duffy (another businessman who appeared on a TV programme), Joan Freeman (head of Pieta House charity) and some bucko called Patrick Feeney (I have no idea who he is or what he does) spoke in front of the council. One of the councillors accused Mr Feeney of being disrespectful, unimpressive & ill prepared in his approach. I occasionally read local newspaper reports of council meetings, and all I can say is this presentation must have been particularly poor in order to invoke the ire of one of the councillors, they'd be well used to listening to horrendous crap every week from, well, other councillors. One of his suggestions (I swear I'm not making this up) was to propose that Kate Bush have a series of concerts across the country. I'm not sure was this part of the actual manifesto or did he just throw it in as some class of random thing in the ''any other business'' category. What the notoriously reclusive Ms Bush would make of this suggestion wasn't entirely clear. His policies might be worth keeping an eye on if this is the standard of Day 1.............. |

If he is a fan of Kate Bush he is unlikely to give up anyway.

If he can get me a ticket for one of them then I'll come back to vote for him.

Never knew Kate Bush had Irish connections and lives here.
One of the most distinctive female singing voices there ever was. Being a broke student drinking cheap cans of Tuborg in the house with 'Sunset' playing in the background instead of bothering with the afternoon lectures . Great times

I see FF have an element that is encouraging a run for the Presidency. I must admit, I’m finding this mad dash for the role to be amusing.

One of the Waterford councillors challenged her on that at the meeting/presentation - asked if she would have any difficulty signing any abortion-related bill in to law. Her reply was that she respected the will of the people, and also that her daughter was a yes campaigner (without actually saying yes). I think she would be more than leaning toward her niece Maria's view on these things alright. Presidential elections aren't the same without far right catholic fundamentalists, it may as well be written into the constitution that one of them has to run. |
