    In light of recent transparency issues that might not be such a bad thing.

    Imagine him strolling out at the Aviva with that stupid walk he does to meet the Russian team next time we play them at home.

    I think that foreign diplomats may have trouble saying her name and all the l's in her surname will start some sort of international tension.

    There has never been a president from Cork.

    According to the all knowing Wikipedia our presidents have hailed (by birthplace) from,

    Roscommon (Douglas Hyde)
    Dublin (Sean T O'Kelly)
    New York (Eamon DeValera)
    London (Erskine Childers)
    Wicklow (Cearbhall O Dalaigh)
    Clare (Patrick Hillery)
    Mayo (Mary Robinson)
    Belfast (Mary McAleese)
    Limerick (Michael D Higgins)

    As a former AH mod I am disappointed that you wouldn't pick the person most deserving of the privilege. For Shame.

    My choice which should be everyone's will be in the poll I'm about to add.
