Irish Presidential Election 2025

[Neptune]

Maybe = = One of the Knee-Cap Gimps is going to be the Shinners Gimp Candidate ? !

The Shinner planters will back the commie Connolly.

 

[scolairebocht]

So the lineup, for what its worth, is likely to be:
1. Jim Gavin for FF
2. Heather Humphreys FG
3. Catherine Connolly Ind.
4. Mr/Mrs X SF
5. Gareth Sheridan Businessman
6. Maria Steen Ind. (but associated with the Iona Institute)

I think its reasonably likely that the last two candidates will be in this race, Maria Steen via nominations by 20 Oireachtas members (considering she has quite a few already and just signed up Michael Healy Rae) and Gareth Sheridan via four Local Authorities (because he has two, Kerry and Tipperary, and rumoured to have Offaly and stands then a good chance of just one more).

If they all turn up and Vote for him = = He could be in with a chance ! ! !

I don't know how the transfers would work out though ! ! !

 

[Myles O'Reilly]

Just curious Bocht and Tiger.

All else being equal, lets say all the candidates were baptised Catholic but none of them any longer go to Mass, pray etc. So in other words they're just agnostics/atheists.

Yet Heather Humphries goes to Church every week, reads the Bible, prays etc and is a really strong in her Christian faith.

Would you vote for the one of the candidates who probably don't even believe in Jesus yet were baptised RC, or the strong Christian candidate?

 

[scolairebocht]

I think its a very important issue, the religion of a candidate, but I actually wouldn't make any decision about supporting or otherwise a candidate based on facts like you have put forward.

The truth is you just cannot tell from a distance how sincere a person is about things like that. I remember studying a text on the Occult once and they were saying that all their members are strongly encouraged to go to weekly mass or service, as a disguise. How does anybody know that couldn't happen here?

Thanks for that I did not know ms Steen got onto the ballot --I find her the most impressive of the lot and the most Irish.

She is not there yet, but it is looking better for her.

 

[AN2]

She's the best looking anyway

Maybe we should turn it into a beauty contest

She is a good confident speaker, and certainly seems to have a brain, which is a lot more than can be said for the other candidates ! ! !

 

[scolairebocht]

Waterford Council has nominated Kieran McCarthy, former Mayor of Cork.

 

[nobody knows I'm a dog]

Interesting, never considered that.

 

[scolairebocht]

Its been reported that Sinn Fein have decided to back Catherine Connolly.

As predicted.

Sinn Féin to back Catherine Connolly in race for Áras

Weren't they " Blowing Up " that they were going to have their own candidate the other day ? !

Sinn Féin = = Full Of Shite.

Jarlath Burns must have turned them down !

 

[SeekTheFairLand]

Its been reported that Sinn Fein have decided to back Catherine Connolly.

What do you reckon? Will that push Connolly over the line?
How do you think SF's decision reflects on the party? A wise move to show a collective left wing challenge or a party in a crisis of confidence?

 

[scolairebocht]

As I said above, I believe it will be by vote fraud anyway, I don't think the Sinn Fein decision one way or the other would have been left to only a month before the election if it was a serious, non vote fraud, one.

In any case the decision has come across badly, Mary Lou over sold it in the last few days. No disrespect to Catherine Connolly either, but sometimes she doesn't across as a very sharp candidate, are they all leaving the field open for somebody special?

I don't really know what the plan is, but whatever it is you can be certain the uniparty will be digging the grave of this country a little deeper by it.

Bocht has graciously answered my question Tiger. Now its over to you Sir!
