Was he not born in Derry, educated over with the Sasanachs (grand soup so it was), fecked off to Sydney, then off to America and lucky to make a heap of money? Wouldn't say the Irish tax system saw too much of it I'd say the **** and wasters on the dole paid more tax than he did.

So I and the populous at large will thank you to not muddy the waters. This is not america, this is Ireland. You don't speak for me, and you - demonstrably - don't speak for Casey supporters. As a bunch, people voting for Casey generally are tired of what they "have to say". They say what they want to say and ignore this enforced PC bull. For clarity, while you have quoted my posted question, you have not answered it.

The Presidency in terms of what it represents, is basically a direct substitution of the Lord Lieutenants role. It is primarily a ceremonial role, one which in my opinion the incumbent should represent a manifestation of the dignity and hope of the nation, it is an office that as head of State should seek to be above the politics of government. The President has no role in leading the country, even the power of assent is conditional. I would much prefer that we save any "protest" votes for an election that matters, unfortunately in Ireland those elections don't come with parties capable of forming a viable alternative government.

As a result, it really sent a message out to the leftist msm communists liberal elite and we all started to adopt the idiot's ideology and politics, as can definitely be seen in the 20 years that followed that vote. Something very familiar with the 1997 language. VOTE NO.1 DANA! She tells it like it is.

Two recent examples. In 2011 we elected the head of gringotts and all I can see that he did was leech money from the taxpayer at our darkest recessionary moment in recent history. He has done nothing of note. The only benefit to electing him again is that, as he is older, he will have a shorter taxpayer funded life left than other candidates
