Who's for President 2025? Any takers?

Micky D still has his house in Galway rented out. I think it's in student flats. He recently sold his other house in Galway but he still has his apartment in Dublin. He doesn't claim his Ministerial Pension while President but I presume he does claim his NUIG Pension. When he retires he'll get both plus his Presidential pension. His Ministerial pension is around €160,000 a year (or more). His Presidential pension will be around the same. That means his pensions will be around the same as the €332,000 salary he currently receives (he did take less until the FEMPI wage cuts were unwound in 2022). Good socialist credentials.

I also presume there's no BIK for the gaff his employer provides in the Phoenix Park... or the utility bills, or the staff, or the catering etc.

Don’t know about the NUIG pension but I don’t think he’ll get a separate presidential pension on top of his ministerial pension. I seem to recall the rules being tightened up some years ago to avoid duplication of public pensions.
 
What a beautiful way of selecting a candidate.

Hopefully so.
That means he'll have to survive on around €200,000 a year in pensions plus rental income, royalties from his poetry (he's the greatest living Irish Po-et) and possibly speaking engagements. A man of the people.

Heather Humphries with the Orange order behind her, Mary Lou with the provos on the other side, all hunting down McGregor whilst Flately plays the flute as the soundtrack and Cynthia provides the commentry.

Meanwhile, down South, Sean Kelly is scheming in his Kingdom, in the Real Capital, Michael M sits on a throne in Pairc ui Chaoimh waiting to see who is winning before he releases the hound of Bertie. Out west, Connolly is dependent on the wisdom of an ancient bard to guide her before she makes her move

A bit like GoT really, but perhaps without the "adult" scenes!!

Heather is a self described "Proud Republican" (She never murdered any children so she's not a "Good Republican") so the Shinners will, in the interests of furthering an all-island inclusive political ecosystem and showing that they are pluralistic, support her candidacy.
