Gemma O' Doherty fails to secure enough Council nominations

Stockpile your tinfoil, the 'truth' is still at large.

Good. She can start looking for Madeleine McCann again.

We still haven’t forgiven you, Bertie.

The Lizard people are responsible for this

It’s only a matter of time before she’s the Irish correspondent for Inforwars. The fecking looper.

Damn. That would have been fun.

Councillors backing someone with an anti corruption stance? nah more interested in Dragons Den credentials.

Grayson

But she's not as crazy as Sarah Louise Mulligan.

The corruption will never be fixed in this Country its a joke..

VinLieger

Good the woman is a conspiracy theorist loon, calling herself an investigative journalist is a disgrace

JohnnyFlash

They will be working overtime in the outrage factories on twitter and Facebook as a result of this news.

3 dragons den stars, one of who has admitted to handling envelopes for FF? No problem.

Anti-corruption journalist? Not a hope.

Best of luck trying to sort out the housing crisis when ye all put up with corruption!

She’s not an anti-corruption journalist. She’s a conspiracy theory headbanger. Madder than a bag of spiders.

She never had a hope after her disgraceful comments about Veronica Guerin.

Anyone can call themselves an "anti-corruption" journalist.

She's a fruitcake. The odds of her actually doing any investigative journalism of impact are slim to none.

I think Gemma O'Doherty is our very "Cheerful Spring" in drag!
Battling to ensure every event has its very own conspiracy theory to ensure no stone is left unturned in pursuit of "the truth".

You might want to have another look at the role of the President in our constitution.

you do know that we are statistically, realistically and factually one of the least corrupt countries in the world?

we have a certain portion of the population here that constantly go on about corruption but there is no basis for it whatso ever.

id worry for them if they were ever forced to live in another country, because theyd be in for a big big shock.

No problems with a serving President who cheerfully voted through a tax amnesty that allowed countless large-scale tax dodgers to escape prosecution not all that long ago?

I think a lot of people haven’t a clue what the President of this country can and can’t do. The role is largely ceremonial. Gemma O’Doherty becoming President would never solve the housing crisis. If Gemma really wants to try and make a difference she should be more focused on trying the get elected in the next General Election.

I’m pretty sure that didn’t happen. Care to elaborate?

Cee-Jay-Cee

The lunatic fringe in Laois saw fit to give her a nomination. It doesn’t say much for their calibre.

Anyway good riddance to her, she can trot off now on shergar and search for JFK’s killers or what ever mad fantastical investigation she’ll immerse herself in now.

joe swanson

Dissapointed she didn't get on the ballot purely to show her crazy supporters how "popular" she actually is.

Right I'll bite. Are you for real? forget about the "one of the least" but this country is full of corruption! For a start the money their on! the pensions they still get when shamed into retirement for being dodgy even the pensions they get full stop, all the tribunals, the golden circle, the new children's hospital being built in St Jame's do you know when finished will be one of the dearest in the world! In a country the size of Ireland. The list is endless .. Good auld Charlie he taught them well just ask Bertie..

can you list the corruption thats going on please? nothing above that you have listed involves corrution on any scale (maybe the bertie tribunal did but thats not applicable to current debate)

when you say the money "they" are on, who you referring to?

Her followers on Facebook are as deluded as she is.

She's a travel reporter who started to see a conspiracy on every corner.

Would make you wonder why they are the third highest paid President in Europe in fairness.
