Presidential candidates giving their spiel.

Biggins · 13-06-2011 8:42pm

Hope they give the rest air time, those that are unable to turn up.

JonathanAnon · 13-06-2011 8:45pm

Only in ireland would the townspeople be worried about electing a new mayor as the town is burning to the ground.. No of these people represent the values of the working class people.. And dont get me started on Fergus Finlay, he still wont tell us how much Barnardo's pay him..

Mr_Ekan · 13-06-2011 8:48pm

Wow, that's a lot of charity fatcats going for the Labour nomination.

Biggins · 13-06-2011 9:06pm

It seems any independent have a major uphill struggle just to get nominated.

Good man Pat!

Yes Pat is always right, nobody who disagrees with the world's foremost badger conservationist could ever be correct!

Biggins · 13-06-2011 9:13pm

O Shut up Higgins!

JonathanAnon · 13-06-2011 9:16pm

Good man Pat!

I think Pat got tips from Joe Duffy on how to "spot the shinner" in the audience..

I think Michael D and David Norris should be locked in a room to read poems and Greek history to each other for eternity.. These guys have NOTHING in common with the ordinary Irish man..

decies · 13-06-2011 9:17pm

Pats some blank even plank lol

Callan57 · 13-06-2011 9:18pm

If one of them would be honest & come out and say I want the big salary & expenses I'd be inclined to vote for them.

'Making change happen' ... bullsh1t. No wonder Tom looks bemused

filthymcnasty · 13-06-2011 9:19pm

Some serious bull****e being spouted by the woman candidate at the end..'daragh in tallaght helping children' wtf

Min · 13-06-2011 9:20pm

Surely we can do better than everyone who has announced so far that they want to be Preisdent.

Biggins · 13-06-2011 9:21pm

Honestly, even if Norris wasn't (hopefully) running, I could see myself voting for the most of those so far!
Honestly.

WASP0 · 13-06-2011 9:22pm

What an awful bunch

Corsendonk · 13-06-2011 9:22pm

Have these people actually thought about more than choosing the wallpaper in the Aras? Painfully poor standard here tonight.

darkman2 · 13-06-2011 9:23pm

Pat looks fed up.

baldbear · 13-06-2011 9:24pm

Maybe Pavee Point should think about putting a candidate forward. It would make good tv anyway. They are are bleeting the same crap.

irish147 · 13-06-2011 9:24pm

we will miss mary ........

These people are about as inspiring as the paper I use to wipe me own áras..

They have been thinking will the wallpaper match the curtains and what about the carpets...

darkman2 · 13-06-2011 9:27pm

Who is this wan that claims to speak for the youth?

And our previous presidents have? I'd much rather have a president who is open about his / her intellectualism & wears it on their sleeve as a point of pride, then suffer some spoofer politician posing for photo-ops holding a pint.

13-06-2011 9:29pm

Norris Cole (MDH) wont be getting my vote anyhow.

Whether you would agree with that guy who said the office of president was a waste, Plank is proper ignorant to cut him off.
What is the point in having a discussion show where you ask the audience their opinion when your not going to at least let them be entitled to their opinion?

Biggins · 13-06-2011 9:29pm

I've never heard a load of bull in all my life on this show so far.

TheBlueHaze · 13-06-2011 9:34pm

Higgins for President

Best of a bad bunch for sure

JonathanAnon · 13-06-2011 9:35pm

Seems like each one has a plant in the audience..

Biggins · 13-06-2011 9:38pm

Jeasus, tonight show was a load of crap.
I wouldn't vote for any of them - and Higgins came off the worst in my opinion!
What the hell was he on about most of the time! Away with the hypotheticals and what sounded like non-achievable building plans for Utopia!

lol.

Wow, I never knew Tom McGurk was such an idiot. After getting shot down for being obviously wrong for saying they weren't addressing the "real issues" facing people he had like 30 minutes to come up with some sort of cogent response that was a bit different.

And yet the best he can come up with is again...: "I think they should cut out this happy clappy stuff". What kind of Fisher Price political "analyst" is he???

He lives in his past. Its just a gold watch and a state funeral gig for him.

Callan57 · 13-06-2011 9:49pm

Such a pathetic bunch of spoofers .... in honesty if you went to a job interview & spoofed like that you'd be kicked out and rightly so. Mouthing silly platitudes and clearly Mary whatshername doesn't even understand the job description. That guy in the audience fairly showed her up!

Pity David Norris wasn't there at least he's produce an original thought.

Maybe he suspected the type of crap they were going (and did) to come out with!
Christ - I wouldn't want to be seen sitting beside that bunch!
Might have been the best move Norris has done (or not done!) so far!

McGuirk seems to be hugely disliked among the media/political people.. Heard Dunphy and his panel having a few snide jibes at him a couple of weeks ago.. But I would agree both of the "analysts" were very poor.. They were sitting on the fence as much as the left wing Presidential candidates...

thayes4 · 13-06-2011 10:14pm

As an exercise, try replacing "young men and boys" with "young women and girls".

Last night was absolutely dire in my opinion.
...And I can say that honestly after a night of reflection.
I never heard a load of high-fluted cock and bull theory bullschite in all my life.
NONE of them deserve to be president of the country. None of them!
