Miriam Won't be going for Presidency

Just confirmed on RtE 9pm news.

I didn't think it was a good idea for her to run at this time- right decision IMHO.

Maybe years from now, who knows.

I hope it's not the case that Higgins gets a free run at this and there's no election. There's no way that should be a 14 year job and he doesn't even have to go to the electorate second time.

Trigger Happy · 06-04-2018 09:17PM

Maybe Dana will go again provided no one slashes her tyres.

Rubberchikken · 06-04-2018 09:18PM

Thank god. Tiresome woman.

Silentcorner · 06-04-2018 09:18PM

She should have stepped down from her high profile position in the State owned TV station the day she decided to it was something she would work toward....of course, we'd have to have some kind of standard in our media for that to happen...

Meanwhile, Bertie Ahern hasn't ruled it out...like I said...if we had any kind of standard in our media this man would have been lacerated by news outlets...he should have had the good grace to to a Brian Cowen on it....disappear from the public life...he was laughed at while he was the Taoiseach of this country when he was explaining, to a tribunal, all the cash he may have won on a horse!!!

She'd have to sign the first abortion legislation produced in the country.

Wait, Miriam O'Callaghan was seriously considering running for President? Of the Country?

Ah here.

suicide_circus · 06-04-2018 09:21PM

Kevin Sharkey all the way

It would have stopped her going "mmmm" on the radio at least.

So the path is clear for Ding Dong Denny O'Reilly to end Higgins reign of terror

buried · 06-04-2018 09:24PM

Brendan O'Carroll will run as Mrs. Brown.

Probably win the f**king thing too

Needs Must · 06-04-2018 09:25PM

Thank God, she would be a disaster.

He should get a chance to brown nose the other Castro after he dies.

I bet your bandwidth has dropped by 90% since you posted that.
You're going to find that your credit cards no longer work.
Some time over the weekend you will be framed as a thief and a drug dealer.

I'd vote for Dustin but he never brought that Dart from Dublin to Dingle like he promised.

I was kinda hoping Roy Keane might show a bit of interest or failing that someone foreign , maybe Brian O Driscoll's missus , Amy whatserface.

Her own summer chat show is called off for this year because she is making a documentary on the Northern Ireland troubles.

If Laura Whitmore ran I'd vote for her. She's three years two young though.

Richard Hillman · 06-04-2018 09:45PM

The media trying to elect one of their own. There was absolutely zero clamour for her to run for president from non-media people.

I had to read your second sentence twice , thought it was a secret code.

This is the best news I have had all year.

He/She? Whatever would have my vote.

Good. Nice that we don't all have to go down the road of having celebrity fluff candidates like the US.

C__MC · 06-04-2018 09:56PM

Higgins will comfortably do the second term.

Strange sort of title in Ireland, they do very little from what I see

I haven't heard of anyone so far I'd vote for over Higgins.

What's people's views of Bertie? Not now, but maybe next election time in 5 years- still too soon?

statesaver · 06-04-2018 09:58PM

Genuinely delighted
