Yes. Apparently he's fine to answer questions about the past though, if the time period in question is restricted to the last two years.

was kinda hoping he'd run an open and honest campaign, he has a lot to gain that way imo. Getting agg-defensive on day two makes this a pointless exercise

dana is an ugly, ugly person and even though she hasn't a chance it's not good that she's convinced enough councils that she deserved a chance at running.
Is michael d gonna walk this?
Will norris carry the urban centres? Will mcguinness the rural areas?
How does a presidential vote work anyway?

Still feel Michael D. will win on transfers as everyone else is objectionable to a majority of the electorate.

i am a bit wary of posting a potentiall libelous statement in a public forum, so I can just say that it is allegedly a criminal act committed by a relative of hers - so it is not really fair for her to be held account for it, as she is hardly responsible for her family members.
― The New Dirty Vicar, Friday, 14 October 2011 15:53 (twelve years ago) link
she's not being held to account for it she's using it as a stunt

You can see the "story" at http://www.irishcentral.com/ - it's completely irrelevant to the campaign.

yeah hes not coming out of this debate well if thats what youre referring to.
― Michael B, Monday, 24 October 2011 22:18 (twelve years ago) link
it is. God knows what will happen tho. I'm kind of zen about the presidency tbh, wd gladly swap Gallagher in the aras for Coppinger in Dublin West and nos to the two const amendments
― Volvo Twilight (p-dog), Monday, 24 October 2011 22:20 (twelve years ago) link
i'm either way on judge's pay being a vital part of separation of judiciary and executive, tbph.
Gallagher, just don't like him. Have a feeling that if there's anything beneath the shitetalk buzzwords then it's nasty. And he's FF, a celtic tiger entrepreneur and probably owes us money.
― generation lmbo (darraghmac), Monday, 24 October 2011 22:28 (twelve years ago) link
oh yeah don't get me wrong i HATE gallagher. and I do find it somewhat depressing that so many Irish people are apparently considering swinging right back to FF within the fucken year. but it's such a meaningless gig that he can stew in the park for 14 years afaic. think he's finished tho now, altho who knows?
and yep judges' pay is less important than the other referendum.
― Volvo Twilight (p-dog), Monday, 24 October 2011 22:36 (twelve years ago) link
Well FF+FG always get dunno 60% of the people behind them...FF have no official candidate and nobody likes Gay Mitchell, so there's a massive floating centre-right and rural vote that has to go somewhere.

mcguinness, tho it'll fracture obv
― generation lmbo (darraghmac), Monday, 24 October 2011 22:59 (twelve years ago) link
not on right or left lines, tho, on rural nationalist ones
― generation lmbo (darraghmac), Monday, 24 October 2011 23:00 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah and Dana is obviously going for obviously going for some of that vote too. But for one reason or another it looks like they're splitting for Gallagher now.
Fair few friends on Facebook trying to whip up support for Michael D; he'll get all the Norris transfers but I don't know how he can get to 50%+1 unless Gallagher's support collapses.
Didn't see tonight's action though.
― fun drive (seandalai), Monday, 24 October 2011 23:19 (twelve years ago) link
michael d will get everyone's transfers imo
fg voters will vote michael d first, imo, if they think gallagher has a chance
dana unpopular, can't really see her drumming up support from any demographic tbh. Hard right catholics? I dunno, maybe it's a bigger market than i think, or at least they'll all show up on the day.
― generation lmbo (darraghmac), Monday, 24 October 2011 23:27 (twelve years ago) link
highly doubt ff/fg will get 60% tho
― generation lmbo (darraghmac), Monday, 24 October 2011 23:30 (twelve years ago) link
the audience on last nights debate doing a collective "AWWWW!" to Gay Mitchell after pleading to Pat Kenny to ask relevant questions about the role of president (so as he could waffle on) was hilarious.
