Seen a poster in town yesterday alright but never heard of him before that.
Good luck to him!

Here's a piece on him that appeared in the Echo. I've seen a few posters for him around town.

I want him to get a seat for 2 reasons, a) he has the coolest demeanour of any Irish Politician ever, b) He looks like an honest guy, rather than the rats we are used to.

Good luck to him, though I hope he will get in, I doubt it will happen.

I met him today in Dunnes near St Lukes road, sorry im not from Cork so dont know where it is, but anyway he seems cool was wearing like Jamaican hat and top. He was handing his election stuff.

A valid point. I did see his poster the other day and thought it was an ad for something else...

He actually works in UCC and is a past student - Phd in something or other. You can see his profile if you take part in the Boards Vote. His policies dont look too bad actually - I'd give him one ( a vote that is LOL)

Yeah policies sound pretty good to me ESPECIALLY the last one

"-Legislation to compel asylum seekers to find work and deport them if they don’t
- A reduction in PRSI for employers and an extension of the employers’ job scheme to two years, rather than the one year proposed by the government
- A reduction in the number of public representatives"

Might give him a vote:)

How many votes he get? I seen one of his posters still up in the city today. Hope he doesnt get fined and gets it down quick.

161 on the 1st count, eliminated straight away. Also his election fees won't be refunded because of his standing.
