And all because he pulled a yarn as a stunt in desperation and a surprising number of people are falling for it hook, line and sinker.

You'd get more sense out of a drunken eget at the counter in your local. If we must persist with having a president, then Michael D is the only choice.

So I'm hoping the country will save paying both a pension and a salary for a pointless and completely meaningless president. So there. I voted for Micky D, although if the position of president meant anything he'd be the last of the bunch I'd have voted for.

Zaph wrote: » That 10k comes from fully audited figures of spending in the Áras, does it? Because as I understand it those figures won't be made available until next month at the earliest. And big deal if Casey isn't going to take a salary if elected, that doesn't make him any more qualified for the job than if he did take a salary. He's a bullsh*tter of the highest order who has seen that brash, populist pronouncements have helped Trump, The League in Italy and so on, and decided that with his whole 2% in the polls he had nothing to lose. He also seems to have failed to recognise the fact that none of the stuff he's been sh*ting on about like rural broadband falls anywhere near the remit of the president. Although to be fair, he's not alone there as most of the other candidates are guilty of that too. They'll be sorely disappointed if they win and then the government suddenly tells them that they should have read the job spec a bit more carefully before applying for the position.

He spoke an opinion (unpopular in media/political circles) that many people agree with and he was lashed out of it....all angles all sides.... AND - this is the clincher - he not only refused to apologise or backtrack...he doubled down…as they say. that's a person I'd vote for a person of conviction a rarity in public life in Ireland. If that makes me a fool , fool me twice baby!
