    Uncle Gaybo could probably use the salary, what with losing all his cash. Again.

    ....and be subjected to the cult of Gay Byrne for the next 7 years. No way. RTE would be turned (more) into a shrine for Gaybo. Is there any end to the persecution me Irish have to suffer?????

    What a pointless Race for a Pointless office!

    Think Bono only has room to be prez of his own ego!

    I used to think it was an important role but yeah it should really be merged with the role of taoiseach like in some other countries.

    But that's not gonna happen for at least another 14 years, change of constitution etc etc

    Is Constantin Gurdgiev an Irish citizen ?
    I would vote for someone like that who tells it how it is.
    Would stir up the voters anyway.

    If Gay Byrne puts himself foreward and becomes president , he'lll turn up at the Dail to give his acceptance speech , with bags of shamrock in hand and declare '' there's one for everybody in the house '' .

    don't you have to be born in ireland to be eligible like in the us where arnie can't become president. anyway constantin would probably do quite well if he's eligible , as for gaybo , no way. there is no decent candidates in it atm.

    Are there not any other jokes that people can make about Gay Byrne besides ones involving his first name and ones involving the punchline '…and there's one for everyone in the audience'?

    Gay Mitchell, Gay Byrne, Gayvid Norris..... the Presidency just ain't what it used to be.

    Although I agree with Terry Mc Geehan in todays Star where he says we should scrap the Presidency for a few years and save over €3 mill a year. Keep Mary on on a contract basis in case Obama or someone else comes back that we need to wheel her out for but scrap the Aras, the fulltime staff, the fulltime mignons that flap around her.

    Gay is not in tune with the Irish people unfortunately. I'm sure he's a nice man on a personal level, but under no circumstances is his presidential material. Besides, he's 77 and has a 50/50 chance of making it through his first term.

    I'm not that old. Róisín replaced Colette...

    Róisín Harkin, who went on to work on the Late Late Show as a P.A. Róisín would later become known as "Roll it there, Róisín" when she took over the P.A. job from the legendary Collette Farmer.

    I had a Gay Burne once, couldn't sit down for days, lube is the way to go really.

    Obvious joke is obvious. Best thing to do in that situation is not be the pleb who cracks it.

    yes...here it is

    Q: why did the Gay Byrne cross the road?
    A: to avoid getting a severe physical beating from me.

    He's far too old, if he ran, won and served two full terms he'd be in his 90s when he finished ffs.

    Why is it that all this personal abuse is allowed and yet if I replyed to any one of them calling the person stupid or an idiot for saying that about someone I'd be the one to get punished. Double standards.
