Race for the ARAS 2025

Mary Robinson on LLS. She'd be head and shoulders above any other candidate if she ran again.

The same Mary who twice refused to meet with the families of the Bloody Sunday victims.

[Baile Brigín 2]

Heather Humphrys botched a question on whether her husband was in the Orange Order or not. Hint - he was

What's with SF not putting forward a candidate? Is there a reason for not doing so in such a major election?

[AustinPowers]

Is there a chance  all of them  could lose the election?

They couldn't persuade MLMD. They are confirming one way or another on the 20th.

Varadkar says Gavin was FG until last week...

sc**bag McGregor has "withdrawn" from the race.

sc**bag McGregor has "withdrawn" from the race.

He'll do some yapping from the sideline now. Surprised he wasn't able to bribe a few to support him.

Letting them all eat themselves before making a call I'd say. Jim Gavin has been far from impressive,  Heather Humphrey's the most 'polished' but the whole issue around the husband and OO membership does not sit well. Catherine Connolly the most principled but not sure if she has the gravitas to carry the job. SF may back her but you never know who they might push out now. Humphrey's likely to be the winner as things stand but don't think she is the right fit personally

HH and the whole OO thing could be a positive down the line for a United Ireland. Small first steps and all that.

More the way she's dealing with it. Deny,  ask him, yes he was, etc etc. Own it and accept it otherwise it looks like you're hiding something

[Milltown Row2]

Jesus this is a long drawn out malarkey!

When is it being voted on?
