    He's just the best man for the job. Educated, well spoken etc.

    Norris is so well educated that he took every major in the universe combined from every university.

    You've got to be f*cking kidding me. I swear, if there's any chance that he becomes our head of state, I'm renouncing my citizenship.

    Relax dude- I was under the impression that the office of the President is essentially ceremonial. As much as I would love fresh blood as president with some innovative ideas and attitude but renoucing your citizenship because of that!:eek: plus the dude you are talking about would really be "ceremonial".

    Having Michael D as president would be like going back to school, only to find that the most annoying kid in your class had become the Head Master.

    F*ck it then, why not have Graham Norton instead? At least he wouldn't shove his literary tastes down your throat & tell you that you're not Irish unless you've studied Joyce.

    It's not... the Executive is a fully functional and balanced part of our government. They deal with issues of constitutionality of legislation created in the Oireachtas.

    What do they teach in school these days :o

    Norris for President, if only for the opportunity to use Aras and Phoenix park puns.

    But seriously our last two lawyers were lawyers, which is probably the best qualification you can have for a job as custodian on the constitution so I'd like to see that tradition continued.

    That said I'd never vote for Ivana Bacik who is the successor to both Robinson and MacAleese as Reid Professor at Trinity College.

    Yes it's AH foruum, yes it's late at night, yes I'm from Galway...but to all you fools knocking Micheal D, I can say hand on my heart you will not meet a more honest, well educated, well informed politican in Ireland. I'd be proud to have him as president.

    What do you have against him apart from the fact that he is probaly smarter than you and the fact that he has shown he is willing to stand up for what he believes is right?

    Small minded morons, go ahead take the piss, me...I just wish more politicans in Ireland were like him.

    Well in fairness, being a homosexual is not exactly a lot to offer to the position, no more than being a hetrosexual is.

    Being the maddest bastard in the country will make it a hugely entertaining stint for the presidency.

    Higgins, Finlay, George Hook. . . .

    anyone but Bertie. I'll say it as often as I have to. There are people stupid enough to put him in the Park, and he has jesters in the Spindo to do the PR for him.


    anyone but Bertie.

    The only time I ever see him in the papers or the news it's in a capacity of either about poor conditions for asylum seekers or protesting war or companies policies. Not sure that's the kind of guy I'd want representing us in front of the people that are our main trading partners. I likes me my moneys
