Really, the British Royal family regularly go on trade missions and that is Prince Andrews job -seconded to the British Board of Trade.

I dont know of the Queen eats pork pies but I once saw a picture of her visiting a factory in a trade brochure for the asian market.

So maybe it would not be a bad thing if our presidents got off their arses every so often and supported the Irish Economy and earned the money for their pampered and luxurious existance.

What trade value did we get from our last presidents ???

I totally agree with you... but the way things stand here that's not the job of the President, thats what we have a Minster for Trade for. The point I was making is that I believe this is just SPIN from Sean Gallagher.

Out of interest, KELTICKNIGHT have you got a better idea yet of who you will be voting for?

I'm interested because I'm convinced that Higgins is the man for the job and I'm equally convinced that I don't want Gallagher in there.

Is your mind made up or are you still undecided? Of course, if you don't want to discuss your private voting preferences on this open forum, that's absolutely fine and I apologise for asking directly.

You don't like anyone a member of FF or connected to FF,that's your choice
but comment's like this don't add any constructive criticism to post.
Do you know any of candidate's personally ?,Do you know who's more passionate about Ireland or not ?
So you don't like him ,so be it.
I don't like what FF did to country either but I'm not going same route as other's
here.
Next week will probably will be dirtiest week for most candidates.
It's like a bad tv show this election.
Was there this much with election ?

Not sure what you are getting at there?

Constructive and knowing a candidate personally?

Do any of the voters know the candidates personally? People go on the attributes that they think they see in a candidate, and my opinion is that he is shady, based on his appearance, his answers, evasiveness and body language. How much more constructive can I get re a poor candidate?

Damn right. Fright to God that in a country of 5m (north & south) people we don't have hardly a decent candidate !

Cant believe any sane person is considering anyone other than Michael D

Why he is the oldest and will cost the least.
Michael will not live for twenty years after the post.
If we elect someone like 'it was only resting in my account gallagher'
It will cost a small fortune for the many years pension he will will receive.
Over 100,000/annum that would mean a pension pot in excess of 5 million.

So vote Michael D
He can do the job.
He knows the constitution and shake hands.
The president does not need to be an entrepeneur or do gooder.

Please use your brains

Michael D will appreciate your vote no doubt, but I am not sure he will like your reasoning

Oh and your reasoning is very apt for the economic times we find ourselves in and the fact that there is a pensions timebomb coming down the road.

Our presidency is loosely based on the office of Governor-General and pre the 1937 constitition it did not exist .

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governor-General_of_the_Irish_Free_State

The low profile adopted by Presidents was because of Timothy Healy the first Governor did that.

The last GG Ua Buachalla - was a shopkeeper from Maynooth - I remember the shop.

So maybe Sean Gallagher has hit on an idea and it is not a bad one.

Or is the fact that it is a Gallagher idea too much for you.

Sean Gallagher was a farmer , surely that is true ?

Could it be that Sean Gallaghers " I was farmer too " claims were made up or exaggerated too

at the age of 21, he purchased his first farm of under 20 acres. As he had no money to buy the animals, Sean worked for local farmers painting sheds and outhouses, receiving a calf as payment.

Well it turns out that it could have been 8 or 10 acres and that Sean didn't purchase it at all

http://www.independent.ie/national-news/farmer-claims-young-sean-never-did-own-20acre-plot-of-cavan-land-2913918.html

I wish he had based his candidacy on full and honest disclosure.

Where does it end?

And read Sean's Aeroboc Instructor confession

By Independent.ie reporters

Wednesday October 19 2011

HE MAY have talked about bringing nappies into the Aras if he gets elected, but presidential hopeful Sean Gallagher could also be unpacking lycra shorts and a massage table if he gets to the Phoenix Park mansion.

The Dragon’s Den entrepreneur has revealed that among his many jobs in the past, he taught aerobics fitness classes. “Way back 20 years ago, I was one of only four guys in the country who taught aerobics,” he tells the current issue of VIP magazine.

“I trained many years ago as a fitness instructor and massage therapist and I used to teach morning classes to housewives,” the 49-year-old says. “There was a time when I wore a singlet and shorts,” he reveals.

In a photoshoot with his wife Trish at their Co Louth home, the independent candidate also talks about his visual impairment, and says he was born with congenital cataracts, and could not see until the age of four. “When I was four I had surgery which restored my sight partially, so today I see, but not as well as everyone else,” he says.

He also reveals in the magazine spread how he fell for new wife Trish when a friend encouraged him to meet the former L’Oreal salesperson, and how he proposed after just six months together.

murfinsurfin · 22-10-2011 09:33AM

There's 43 pages now, so it's tricky trying to find facts, so in case I missed it, does anyone know why Louth County Council refused to endorse him? I heard rumours, but need something concrete

wyndhurst · 22-10-2011 09:43AM

Gallagher is a spoofer of the worst kind.

- Denial of FF links
- Skullduggery surrounding Enterprise Board loan repayment
- 20 acre farmer...or it is 7 or 8 acres on land he did not own
- not a single business venture that has turned a profit???
- huge fee's extracted from SmartHomes when it was losing money & investors left to squirm. Funny how fee's total was very similar to total of grants from state agencies...
+++++++

Any truely successful business person would have ZERO interest in getting involved in a presidential campaign (at least until their 60's or 70's).

Send this spoofer packing.

Wallflower · 22-10-2011 09:48AM

Periodic spotcheck.......

Yep more lies, on top of all his other shennanigans with grant money, and FF membership

He was also lying about farm in Cavan he owned in Cavan as a 21 year old now.......(pathetic). It was 8 acres and was bought by his Dad, changing his story. (Irish Indo).

He really is becoming more and more of a sleveen figure the more things come to light. Part of me feels sorry for him and his self-delusion, the other part is angry that he has been balatently trying to pull the wool over the Irish people's eyes. I have never in all my adult life been so opposed to a candidate standing for election- he makes my skin crawl.

Question: Is Sean Gallagher telling lie?
Answer : Bucketloads, covering all aspects of his background

She is a fine woman

And well turned out

And she would add a touch a glamour to any state occassion.

They are ordinary people and why shouldnt an ordinary person be President on behalf of other ordinary people.

They are more representative of us than Michael Higgins is.

polod · 22-10-2011 10:18AM

Does Sean Gallagher polish his head before he goes on telly ??? flip me the shine off it, I can't watch the telly at all when he's on it.

Ellis Dee · 22-10-2011 10:20AM

What? A politician telling lies?;)

Inconceivable!

The likes of SG would never tell a porkie.:)

But, outstanding and capable businessman that he claims to be, he is certainly a past master at economising with the truth.;);)

Well give Sean your #1 and he will be in the Aras and you will no longer see him on Dragons Den.

Remember people, if you cant do it for yourself , do it for polod.

Where you always a Fianna Failure guy CDfm? You're putting the SF lads to shame here in your plugging of Gallagher, in spite of the constant flow of revelations about his fondness for fiction.

Callan57 · 22-10-2011 12:18PM

What on earth will the rest of Europe think of us if we elect a FF President .... it's going to make our squealing about austerity & being forced by the evil IMF/EU to bail out bondholders ring dam hollow.

Clearly the message to the troika will be that the Irish can take lots and lots more austerity before they comprehend the reality of what FF and their hangerons have done to the country. Obviously we are just itching to put the sleeveens back in control again.

We will have proved ourselves the 'slow learners' of Europe and cast a definite doubt over our ability to govern ourselves.

They'll think what we think and what FFailure are counting on: Irish voters have very short memories.

That depends on who you mean by "us".

Representative of FF and their construction-bubble klingons - definitely.

He is not even a politician and is a former member of Fianna Fail.

More to the point, would Michael Higgins be prepared to put party loyalty to one side if elected and, in the event of a no confidence motion in the government , disolve the Dail or use his discetionary powers to get the party leaders to attempt to form a government -as happened with the Rainbow Coallition.

I don't think he would.

If the coallition fell apart over the budget for instance, I feel he would put the Labour Party before the Country and that is where I feel his loyalty lies.

That is my most important criteria.

Is Sean Gallagher telling lies
