Irish Presidential Election 2025

[Neptune]

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

The Granddad in the balaclava...

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).

How many players wives/girlfriends and young wan's working at Croker has Gavin ridden at this stage?
Chap is going to be destroyed before polling day!

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

 

[clarke-connolly]

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]

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.

Interesting, never considered that.

 

[scolairebocht]

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

 

[Wolf]

As predicted.

Sinn Féin to back Catherine Connolly in race for Áras

[clarke-connolly]

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.

 

[Myles O'Reilly]

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

 

[scolairebocht]

Gareth Sheridan, having lost in Offaly and Meath, there by only one vote, is said to have conceded and admitted he won't get a nomination.

 

[scolairebocht]

Cork Co. Council vote was:
Maria Steen 11
William P Allen 4
Cllr Kieran McCarthy 9
None of the Above 26
So they nominate nobody.
Also it looks like Maria Steen will get Leitrim's nomination and also if she gets Independent Ireland then it would amount to 18 Oireactas nominations.

Hopefully Maria Steen does get the nomination.

It will be another dark day for the 26 Counties if she doesn't !

Can you just add a Council nomination to the Oireachtais nominations ?

It should be that way, but I don't know if it is or not !

Maria not getting a lot of love here:

(I'd still vote for her because it's a meaningless office bound to be filled by a "globalist" and she's a bit of a MILF)

 

[scolairebocht]

Correction she lost in Leitrim 9-7, I don't think she has any Council yet.

Dreary me, Off-Grid Ireland shadow banned

Here is the post:

Where was Maria Steen during Ireland's lockdown protests, or when the state coerced our people into experimental jabs? Has she addressed the excess mortality since their rollout?

Silent, as freedoms were trampled and the Irish spirit bent.

Did she oppose the hate speech Bill or men invading women's sports and spaces, robbing our daughters of fair play and safety?

No record of her defending biological truth and female dignity.

When drag queen story hours and indoctrination corrupted our children in schools, where was Maria Steen?

Nowhere, as Ireland's family foundations eroded.

During the IPAS protests, as asylum seekers overwhelmed housing and communities, diluting our identity, did she stand with protesters?

Not a peep, as the erasure marched on.

Now she seeks the presidency with conservative platitudes. Too late, Maria.

Ireland recalls the silence of "defenders".

 

[scolairebocht]

I kind of agree with you AN, she isn't really a natural anti-establishment candidate, as is obvious when you hear her speak on most issues.

 

[scolairebocht]

Something of a row has broken out as regards the nomination process in Limerick. Because it looked like Maria Steen was the only person to be voted on, the Social Democrats responded by adding Gerben Uunk to the vote. He is the Dutch animal welfare person but is apparently also sound, in the eyes of the Social Democrats, on LGBT rights etc.

 

[scolairebocht]

I am sorry that I might disappoint some by not being enthusiastic about Steen, of course I am in favour of a Catholic candidate, but I cannot agree that she is a good candidate on those issues listed above, like mass immigration or Covid (she took the vaccination) etc.

The only person you could support in this election on issues like that would be Sarah Louise Mulligan. But she gets blanked out completely in all the coverage, and even the Councillors or Mayors cut her off talking sometimes, as seems to be happening a little in Clare now and earlier in Dublin.

Maria Steen on the otherhand gets huge publicity and, for me anyway, that itself is suspicious in this Communist state.

 

[scolairebocht]

This is Harry McGee reporting on the Meath vote:
"Gareth Sheridan was the last of the presidential hopefuls to address the Meath County Council live. The rest are making submissions online. There was a glitch with Sarah Louise Mulligan who could not address the council as not visible on screen."
The way they blank her out shows this Communist state in action. I doubt that was an accident...

 

[Myles O'Reilly]

Maria not getting a lot of love here:s he's a bit of a MILF

Nobody can see WTF you're trying to show.

 

[scolairebocht]

So to summarise the Council position:
Gareth Sheridan, Tipperary and Kerry.
Kieran McCarthy, Waterford.
Westmeath, Louth and Kilkenny have yet to vote.

Since it doesn't seem that either Sheridan or McCarthy can get all those three, or two for Sheridan, to get the nomination (because some Councils only allow a vote on previously nominated candidates, and because they are not so nominated for all three remaining Councils) then it seems the Council route is closed and the Councils have nominated nobody.

Some mighty stitch-up by the establishment parties

 

[scolairebocht]

I agree, Kilkenny have nominated no one so only Louth and Westmeath to hear from.

 

[scolairebocht]

Westmeath also voted not to nominate anyone.

 

[Myles O'Reilly]

Westmeath also voted not to nominate anyone.

I would've thought the old Norman/Gaellic families like the Nugents would've put someone forward Sir.

 

[scolairebocht]

Lol, should have!

 

[scolairebocht]

Louth have voted not to nominate anyone.

So we have 3 on the ballot and if Maria Steen gets the Independent Ireland votes tomorrow, she would be on 18 and then who knows she still might make it before the deadline on Wednesday.
