Not running and backing Connolly would be a game changer but looks like a big gun.. Michelle?

The Sinn Fein candidate can speak a bit of Irish and links to GAA. Some speculating it's Jarlath Burns. He'd enjoy the presidential speeches, more so than Jim Gavin, who always struck me as uncomfortable with public speaking.

Including SF, PBP, Greens, Soc Dems and Labour got about 35% in the GE.
FF and FG about 20 each.
Whovever of the latter 2 get highest 1st Pref like winner when the other is eliminated.
Play the game and play it fairly
Play the game like Dermot Earley.

Do any of Kneecap lads have any direct role in GAA?

Burns rules himself out.
Meanwhile Michael Healy-Rae signs Steen's papers. He says it's in the interests of Democracy as he'll be supporting HH.

One played a bit of hurling and football at underage for St Pauls I believe.

Is that enough?

What age do you have to be to run?

They'd get about 95% of the youth vote.

Called it pages back...

Itd be amusing at least but I cant see them doing so as it would cause too much controversy, association with violence but who knows.

The Sean Ógs would be fluent. Mary Lou's candidate is proficient in Irish which I took to mean, they have a cúpla focail more than Heather Humphries (which is nearly anyone who ever put on a GAA geansaí - even Jack Grealish). Bookies must be delighted - they've made a few quid off those who rushed to put money on Jarlath.
