Corduroy to the horizon, dude.
“I’m a professional surfer who has returned to the land to start a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farm near Lahinch, as I believe wholehearted this offers the most realistic, scalable solution to the issues surrounding rural life in Ireland. My conviction has led me to offer myself as a Green Party candidate in the 2016 General Election.”
Pro surfer turned Green Party candidate for Clare in the forthcoming General Election Fergal Smith
Radacious.
Totally bitchin’.
Awesome.
FIGHT!
UPDATE:
Meanwhile, in Waterford…
Grace O’Sullivan – Ireland’s first national female surfing champion in 1981 and former Greenpeace activist – is also running for the Green Party.

Dan Boyle of the Green Party receives a 20,000 euro annual pension. He was elected for just one term. I hope people like Fergal Smith will condemn this type of larceny.
Does he get that now or does it kick in when he’s 65? If the former, why is it even called a pension.
bogger hipster eco hippy blah blah blah save the trees climate change blah blah blah…
Care for some quinoa Fluffy?
Fluffy, the planet will be fine if we do nothing. It’ll just be uninhabitable for humans.
Climate change is like a dog scratching off fleas. Dog is grand, the fleas are fecked.
I’d say Ban Ki Moon will regret organising that massive conference in Paris now when he logs on later to read your comments on the matter ;)
Uninhabitable for humans? Is that really such a bad thing ?
Anyone see the woman in Kildare on VB last night, on hunger strike for climate change? Was on her fourth day.
I mean, really? Hunger strike. FFS.
Jaaaaaaaaaysus……
Four days isn’t a hunger strike, it’s a fast. She’s just sexing up her January detox.
In fairness fasting for climate change is incredibly hot
Sure, if halitosis turns you on.
Girls who are that demented or deranged are usually absolute lionesses in the sack in my experience – read em and weep Lil
I should join her
‘ Nawful trouble all week with the work pants
He can have some of my quinoa
Naive or deluded, or both.
Is the background an A4 postcard stuck to the back of his head?
Ha!
He’s very sincere isn’t he?
On a scale of one to Quote Devil advert guy I’d give him an eight for sincerity / pleading.
Ah be nice – we do a lot worse and he’s genuine at least.
But been cynical for a moment this might be a vote gathering exercise by the Greens to get enough votes to get Govt funding of their party.
All parties do it.
I wouldn’t vote for this spoofer if there were no other candidates
Get back on board Ferg.
Best Irish surfer ever. Gave it all up to live the simple life.
Organic farmer. Community garden an inspiration.Walks the walk like few others. A sound skin and a class act all round…….he doesn’t stand a chance then;-(

I thought I could not dislike him more
But then I saw his fanboys
I was wrong
Fair play.
Id vote for him, if only to keep the trinity of bottomholes out
Would you really Scottser? I wouldn’t
He does seem like an awfully nice lad etc
But is some idealistic naff twit what’s needed in the White Heat of political life?
It’s like someone pissed in EVERYONES cornflakes today. It’s January get a sun lamp or something!
Fair play to that fella!
I’m a surfer
Don’t even thing about it Boil

He’s right you know.
Sorry dudes but surf’s not up for the Green Party, the beach is closed
Vote for the Greens. They’ll keep their promises and won’t bankrupt the country (this time)
Can’t he start a different party, which has no baggage, rather than joining one with no credibility?
A stoned, unblinking hobbit with a pedigree in surfing … yerra shur why not give politics an aul lash. Everyone is at it.
He might grow up inta Mick Wallace
funny Frilly.
I’ll take that over another fupping primary school teacher.
+1
Nice to see some of the swivel eyed loons getting pushed aside in the green party, might even consider voting for them.
