After Hours Presidential Election Poll

You'd be worried about the Irish with the Casey thing,.

If we are all being honest.

Some parts of the traveler community have serious issues with their behavior.

But - if we are honest, the diaspora thing is a load of bull****.

They are basically people who abandoned Ireland.

Ireland is a totally different county than their ideal.
Not even sure he should be able to put himself forward ?

I find Casey embarassing tbh. I'd hate for him to become our next president.

He targets the same darn easy targets, again, and again. And some bizarre ones, like dogs-it's something you'd expect to hear from some third world country.

Not from Ireland.

Also planning to vote to abolish the blasphemy laws too.

So people who emigrated during the 80s, 90, and in the last recession abandoned Ireland? I would argue that Ireland abandoned those people. We were happy to accept the money they sent home and ask them at Chridtmas “how long are you home for?” But we never afforded them the rights of representation. We called them plastic paddies from the UK or dumb Americans from the states. These are people that were forced to leave our country due to the mismanagement of the same political elites that are still in power.
We have turned our back on these people, through shame or embarrassment, however but for a quirk of history we could be in Denver rather than Dublin, Chicago rather than Cork or LA rather than Limerick.

Well, I hope Michael D is elected tomorrow; he is the best candidate on the ballot paper and that is what matters. People are dissatisfied with many elements of Irish life and politics but these issues are not on the ballot paper and there is no evidence that any of the other candidates has the ability, experience or qualifications to tackle those issues.

If some voters see the ballot as an opportunity to protest, it is possible we'll end up with another loud mouth business man who thinks he knows it all. Please don't let this happen.

Yes, Michael D has experience. 45 years experience of being highly paid to represent people. Does he deserve 7 more years and €2.067 million more?

Im looking forward to Saturday when results start rolling in.

I think Paddy Power is as in the dark as the rest of us as to how close PC is to MDH, and he is close IMO.

Ive money on PC at 100/1 and 12/1 WO MDH. The WO MDH bet is in the bag:cool:. Yesterday i thought there was no way PC would win, Now I'm not so sure.

A lot of imponderables. People not admitting they're voting for PC, 2nd preferences, low turnout favoring PC?

Roll on Saturday. Football and election results.

.

We should have a good idea of resuots tonight with 2 exit polls.

In all that time he did nothing for Ireland except collect pensions.

Actually, he has declined to take two pensions that he is fully entitled to take. Does that sound greedy to you?

Casey has pissed off a lot of the modern Priest Class of the modern Left and middle class.

That alone will get him a lot of votes.

That he is being told he can't say that will get extra votes.

3 Dragons and not a mention of those who robbed the country blind during the crash or stripped the country bare. Schools falling down while these wealthy men and women count their shekels probably having bets among themselves on who can con the Irish people enough to get the top state job.

'Travellers, something something....

You've actually lost the plot.

Good post and a lot of them to this day are more Irish than a lot of us and have worked hard all over the world to give Ireland a good name.

He’s on record stating that he will be going to county councils to be distributed to local charities/projects.

Mickey D’s will be going in his back pocket. Greed personified.

Giving up his salary is not admirable, stuff like that makes it only a job for multi millionaires.

I'll vote for Casey but in spite of things like that.
