Hard to see anyone coming in under Mickey D's radar any road

[Boycey]

I won't vote and I always vote the standard of candidate is shocking.

[omaghjoe]

Don't anyone is in a rush to give all citizens of the Irish Republic an opportunity to vote on this?

[Franko]

By their very presence on the ballot, this list of gombeen candidates demean the office of President.

[Rossfan]

Michael D uimhir a h-aon
Freeman 2
Ní Riada 3.
Rest can f off.

[Rudi]

Will the winner come out of the closet.

So slagging off travellers takes you from 1% to 20%, who knew?

Clearly Peter Caseys advisers did! People are afraid to say what they think anymore.

Like all communities there is a disenfranchised middle.

The ones who earn, who pay for everything and are entitled to nothing.

This leaves an easy target of people who are the polar opposite of the above.

True enough. There is a silent cohort who are fed up seeing so much of their income taken in tax and spent on others who are a drain on society and the economy.

Like the rich who hide their profits off-shore..

The idea that it's the poor that are the problem is so completely juvenile and insidious.

Are you talking about individuals or companies?
Either way, at least they are providing employment in Ireland. That in turn contributes to the economy and helps sustain the society we enjoy. That is not to suggest that tax evasion is excusable.
There are some on the lower rungs of society who need help undoubtedly. There are also some who have decided they don't want to contribute in any way because others will do that and they can sit back and reap the benefits - literally. 
They lack both personal and civic responsibility. If the rest of us took that attitude, society would crumble.

As Trump might say.

[Esmarelda]

True enough, white collar crime costs the country far more but that's fair enough because they pay some tax and employ people.

Of course if travellers had the same opportunities in life maybe they'd do the same but nobody wants to have that conversation. Casey is a disgrace and it's deoressing the vote he received.
