    I see he's standing for People Before Profit, which will be ironic if he gets elected, being as he stands to Profit more from being a TD than a teacher when he abandons you People:(

    No hes standing for Labour party:p and lets face it Dublin North West is a strong Labour Constituency

    True fact: Kate Bopp reads boards

    quote from her website:
    Great vote of support on Boards.ie :"Kate Bopp (N Tipp Ind) is called Kate Bopp. She gets my vote just for that." #GE11

    And if he wins, he wont be coming back cos being a TD is a full time job.

    Oh no it's not!
    It's supposed to be but lots of them are practicing auctioneers, publicans, farmers, self-employed businesspeople - as well as being supposedly "full-time" TDs

    I agree she is smart, and my idea is she would be suited to working with the intellectually challenged in Dail Eireann.

    Maybe people will learn this time round not to put any intellectually challenged in there.

    Bertie Ahern invented the Bacon Double Cheeseburger. Well he didn't but, like everything else, he claims credit for it anyway.

    Dublin South

    Mairead Corrigan: before her election to the Seanad, Corrigan was the Principal Psychologist for St John of God Intellectual Disability Service.
    This makes her an ideal candidate for the Dail imo

    Maria Corrigan
    She is/was allegedly involved with a 'close' friend of Bertie's .... some auld lad called Joe ? who was found pissed up with two young wans in his car by the gardai whilst she was still seeing him ..... resulted in the meeja camped outside her house a few years ago. Oh she sounds like a goer all right and has all the hallmarks of suiting the liars and chancers in Dail Eireann, she'll feel at home.

    Eamon Gilmore got the top job in Labour and his wife suddenly got a top VEC job in his constituency ..... all above board of course, just like her innocently selling her land in Galway to the Dept of Education at a nice price.

    Any politician attached to a party that had power in the last 40 years will not get a vote from me .... its the independents we need in there to keep the crooneyism down. Party membership is pointless because you cant speak your own mind or he party whip will be down on you.

    Michael Clarke (Ind, Sligo/North Leitrim) is a convicted fraudster and was sentenced to 2 years in prison in 2002.

    It may come as no surprise to anyone to hear that he was also once a member of Fianna Fáil.

    I wish I was joking.

    The name of the thread is TRUE facts - Michael Clarke said that, not Colreavy. Trust me, I was there, and paying close attention, as I will readily admit to having a vested interest so I was listening very carefully.
