    All he said was, he'd be more than happy to go up the Aras.

    Life ain't always empty.

    Very progressive. The two most important men in the country are gay.

    Michael D is pompous, self regarding, wind bag. I was at a dinner event last year where he was asked to 'say a few words' after dinner. 45 minutes later (I swear) he was still warbling on with that twee 'mystic gael poet intellectual' pose that he likes to strike. 'Listen to me, hear how important I sound'.

    Most of us were in restless agony, the rest were asleep in their apple crumble with custard.

    He is a politician. Another greedy bastard who wants to suck on the taxpayer tit for another few years.

    Are you operating under an assumption that would be difficult to do here, in Ireland? Or to assassinate many other members of Government?

    You'd meet the Taoiseach at the ploughing, the President at a poetry recital, most ministers at some or other opening

    I take it back, you can just walk right into the Aras! No need to follow him around the country, or out foreign into expensive hotels.

    Don’t know whether to laugh or cry at that one. The Gardai at this moment in time are just a **** show altogether. That could have been any maniac. Papa Smurf is just lucky that it turned out to be some cracked foreva home phsycho.

    We should defend our way of life to an extent that any attempt on it is crushed, so that any adversary will never make such an attempt in the future.

    The media enforced censorship over this man's personal life is ridiculous. Why can't we mention the big gay elephant in the room?

    Because who cares one way or another?

    He's been an excellent President IMO - should walk it for a second term. Most of the criticism I have heard about him have come from a.) people with an axe to grind against the left, b.) people with an axe to grind against the Labour Party to such an extent that anyone who was ever associated with them are persona non grata, and c.) people who don't understand the role of the President ("why hasn't he fixed homelessness blah blah etc etc").

    This hotel stuff is ridiculous - he's the President, do you want him to stay in an airbnb? Couch surf?
