That's a handy little thing you have there Francie. The other poster can take a browse through later and take a look at this stuff to convince him or herself of the relationship between the two.

Why would it have to be? These things can be defined.

Well it'd be a slap in the face to people who consider themselves Irish from other parts of the world, if you gave it the people in NI only.

Miriam would have been a great candidate and that joan has a head in her that would stop a clock i don't know had she a hard life or what she has a very sad face, so its another bad bunch in My opinion

I was totally against Miriam running but she would have done very well amidst the current candidates imo

Ah, so you weren't able to find the website using the 'SF/IRA' tag. So you thought you would post an IRA t-shirt instead?

Excellent.

I think most reasonable Irish people would see the distinction and why it was being applied.

Loads of ppl have told me they are planning to vote Casey number 1 due to him speaking the truth about travellers

How foolish do you actually need to be to think that’s a good enough reason to vote for him?

Do people not realize that a) as president there’s not a damn thing he can actually do as regards travellers and b) once elected he will have to guard his words carefully. He even admitted that himself.

No, the first thing that comes up when you type 'Sinn Fein/IRA' into google is a link to a recent SF speech, on the official SF site addressing the IRA. Doubt that is proof enough.

Mookie Blaylock · 20-10-2018 03:48PM

According to AH Peter Casey is going to be our new president.... and by quite a margin.

....... travellers and Mexicans are in for a rude awakening methinks!

So Google uses the term. That isn't what you said though. Keep digging, a chara!

Maybe the presidency is the safest place for him? Stop him inciting hatred and telling porkies.

We have to vote for a new president this month??. Just shows how much I watch or listen to anything to do with Ireland

kerryjack · 20-10-2018 04:21PM

Ya you will see him at a few GAA matches the ploughing, and at bloom and thats about it like they say down here he is as useless as tits on a bull

NIMAN · 20-10-2018 04:21PM

I really hope he continues in the race.

I think deep down he's a civil spud. He's not into lying to make himself more attractive to voters (like some of the other candidates). He tells it like it is.

I was doing a bit of reading up on him, and it appears that he may have bought up to 16 properties that were about to be repossessed on families, and rented them back out to the occupants, so they could continue living in them. I know many will say he did that to make money, but I think that shows he has a caring attitude and isn't a vile, vindictive racist as some are trying to paint him.

You may be on to something there!

Quite frankly I’d rather Donal Trump but clearly people don’t care about having integrity and being a proper statesman.

They just want an excuse to stick it to the man.

Bet ye he didn't build stables in them

NIMAN · 20-10-2018 04:30PM

In fact, I'm just thinking about the debate with PK last week, and he's dropping back a bit in my estimation here, but he said when asked that he wasn't a landlord.

Now if he owns 16 properties and rents them to families who were about to get evicted, then he's a landlord.

Telling a lie about MDH wasn't to make him more attractive to voters? What was the intention then?

Was that the one about planning objection from 1968 or something?

If so, I remember thinking "well that is easily proved or disproved"....how come no media folk followed up on that the next day? Heard nothing about it since.

Has it been proven to be wrong (or a lie?). Maybe PC was given wrong information by an advisor and was simply repeating what he was told? I'm sure he doesn't do all his own research.

Let me explain.

Voter apathy.

All it takes is one single comment plank to ride in on populism.

He could easily get in on a couple of thousand votes.

So yeah it's encombent on us all not to allow fellas like this make a mockery of the office. Least we end up looking like a laughing stock .

Yes that's trump territory.

Voter apathy is a thing, do you not see why this bunch of folks are hoping for it. Its why they are running.

Only Trump territory because the other candidates don't have much to offer. Why can't they be "smarter" instead of shouting "racism"?

kerryjack · 20-10-2018 04:41PM

It could turn out to be the greatest stroke of all time people seem to be talking about it..

Casey #1

NIMAN · 20-10-2018 04:49PM

Can I ask how you vote in this election?

If you only want one person to win, and don't care about the others, do you only mark one candidate?

If you really hate a certain candidate and definitely want them to get as few votes as possible (I'll not mention names but he has a head like a thumb), should be be left out of it completely or marked as 6th preference?

20-10-2018 04:58PM

I’m only putting in a no1 and that’s for PC

Varik · 20-10-2018 05:04PM

Put down a number 1 only. Don't put down an X on anyone else's name as that spoils the vote.

Some people think that if you don't fill it either with numbered vote or an X (again don't do this), then some crafty counter will fill the rest in.

Yes and Yes, leave them out completely

Roger Hassenforder · 20-10-2018 05:26PM

You've a single transferable vote.
To do the most damage to the one you hate, vote for everyone else in your order of preferance omitting the one you hate.

AnneFrank · 20-10-2018 05:33PM

The level of intelligence amongst a snap shot of Irish voters here is embarrassing.

Pintman Paddy Losty · 20-10-2018 05:39PM

Casey for president.

PSNI set the record straight and deny Higgins story that they were involved in giving security advice to use the jet to Belfast.
