Race for the ARAS 2025

[Baile Brigín 2]

So the Flatley announcement.

It seems he is having planning issues on his gaff in Cork. To help move from holiday home to primary residence, he has proven his commitment to living in Ireland by announcing his bid.

and this is the clown talking about somebody needing to speak for the average person on the street FFS

He will go through the motions because he has said he will in court. But it isn't a serious bid.

Interesting piece in the Times on Saturday. Basically FF haven't a candidate - any names you read are not being considered. They hope to field a candidate but it has to be a credible one, not necessarily a winner, and as of now haven't found one. The preference is no candidate versus a Gay Mitchell or Sean Gallagher repeat.

Labour now backing Connolly it seems.

Máiréad McGuinness pulling out "on medical advice"

Máiréad McGuinness pulling out "on medical advice"


If I was a cynic I'd be asking if there'd been a skeleton found in a cupboard?

She said that she had a stay in hospital last week, so it may not be problem with a metaphorical skeleton but the real one.

Old people being old? The gerontocracy of the western world needs put out to pasture.

Saw that after so will delete the skeleton bit.

Watch Kelly for a neat shuffle and side step as he reenters the race all the time hoping his reason for withdrawing in the first place will be forgotten.

I bet FG did some internal polling and found out McGuinness is not popular.
Leprechaun Kelly next?

Have you any evidence of this?
She had little opposition so far.

"I bet that...." isn't the same as "I allege that..."

Linda Martin, David Norris, Colm OGorman and Eamon Ryan tied in the dark horse betting at 225/1

The press had dug up some stuff about a questionable insurance claim and some expenses/landlord stuff that while legal, was sniffy.

But FG would have known this when they nominated her

What a depressing list of candidates...

Jarlath would probably get my vote if he rann.

(And the c***ts would let the 6 counties vote)

So it's baseless.
She had a stay in hospital last week, so is obviously unwell.
