Who's for President 2025? Any takers?
- Thread starter redstar
- Start date
The Eurovision Party have a new frontrunner.
It will be an ‘insult’ if Fianna Fáil don’t enter presidential race, says Mary Hanafin

Mary looking for another bite of the cherry, can't see it happening for her.
Quote:
Saying that President Michael D Higgins is “loved” by the public, Ms Hanafin said: “The Irish people of all ages love their president, love their president, and that starts because they voted for their president.
End quote.
Quite a sweeping statement, a very Kim Jong Un vibe to it.
Would hazard a guess that she's got her advance order in for 20 copies of the new poetry album and has the release date Xd on her calendar.

It's rarely mentioned in relation to Higgins' first election that there were some alleged "dirty tricks" involved when it came to the national broadcaster. (Fake news, misinformation and disinformation as it would be called today.)
www.rte.ie
In the apology RTÉ acknowledged that it made mistakes and failed to comply with its statutory duty under the Broadcasting Act during the programme broadcast on 24 October 2011.
It acknowledged that it should have verified the origin of the tweet, and the tweet should not have been erroneously attributed to another candidate's Twitter account.
RTÉ also acknowledged that it should not have broadcast the tweet and when it became apparent that it was false, it should have immediately corrected the fact that the provenance of the tweet was mistaken.
RTÉ apologises and pays Gallagher settlement over tweet
RTÉ has apologised to businessman and former presidential candidate Seán Gallagher and paid him "substantial damages" in settlement over a tweet read out on a live televised debate during the 2011 presidential election campaign.

She looks like she'd be an excellent candidate.
Seems a credible candidate, a member of the Council of State since 2012.
Media savvy and media experienced, qualified and experienced barrister, fluent Irish speaker. We could do worse.
I just can’t get past her doing the lotto draw in Irish.

Mark Carney ? Current Canadian PM, former governor of the Bank of England, Irish citizen.
We could annex Canada as our 33rd county before it becomes the 51st state , and comes with EU membership

Hasn't he given up his Irish citizenship to be 100% Canadian?

Drat!!! Hadn't known that.

White House experience as Lincoln, arts and special needs experience as Christy Brown, business experience as an oil baron, a born leader....think Gangs of NY and Last of the Mohicans.

He's English. Born in England, raised in England and thinks of himself as English. He holds dual British and Irish citizenship and lives most of the time in Wicklow but that's all.
I can't see him getting backing from any council, or anyone in the Oireachtas.
Bonkers stuff.
Bump the thread if there's a good gift grub on it
I missed out on meeting the "some man for one man" when he was launching his whiskey in a whiskey shop in town... but sorry Micko no vote from me.
Don’t know if she ran but she probably moved swiftly when she heard the interviewee telling the great Jim Fahey where he would like to be buried
