not sure what he adds to the proceedings

On an aside, on the Mary Robinson programme on RTÉ I was disappointed to that the light in the window of the Aras was an 11W CFL and not a candle or oil lamp.

Dance off instead of election. Just give him the crown already.

Imagine the player presentations in Croker

[Truthsayer]

Mr Flatley said he hears concerns from the "average person on the street" and they are not "happy right now".
"Somebody has to speak for the Irish people," he said.
Is this an American replacement for McGregor's bid to make Ireland great again.. ?

[Rossfan]

Another fkn eejit that doesn't know what the office entails.

[Baile Brigín 2]

McGuinness the only candidate for the Blueshirt nomination.
Connolly expected to launch campaign amárach ar Radio na Gaeltachta.
Labour sitting on fence as whether to support her or not as mixed views on her.
Declan Ganley and Senator Aubrey McCarthy trying to get 20 Oireachtas members to nominate them.
Aontú looking for a candidate to back that "supports their view on things"

FF sounding out Niall Quinn.
And Flatley has decided to run as the man of the people candidate.

There's almost a Eurovision level of mediocrity to cringe about the options to date.

who would ye like to see put their name forward...

I'd have preferred Black but Connelly will get my vote.

[Wildweasel74]

I rather have somebody of some political knowledge of the world, not a celebrity  circus.

[Rossfan]

The 2 in the race so far are political.

No issue with those as they are serious candidates. It's the I'm A Celebrity crowd that need to fcuk off.

[DaleCooper]

After seeing her on the Donegal Special I nominated Moya Brennan!

 Quinn a lad who wouldn't take a penalty against Spain in 02. Incase he missed on his last game for Ireland.
Sums up FF alright.

[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.
