      I think he was going for a thousand yard stare. Instead it looks like, “Wha are you lookin ah?”

        he looks like brick top from the movie ‘snatch’. do not, under any circumstances visit a pig-farm with christy burke.

    I don’t fully understand what his slogan ‘one of our own’ means.

    Dublin Central is the most ethnically diverse constituency in the country.

    Who are his ‘own’?

      His own are people that live in Dublin Central. He’s from there and he represents them.

      Fairly straightforward.

        its sure is .
        but that won’t stop the smug know-all thinking they know more than the common man.

          His own are people that live in Dublin Central. He’s from there and he represents them.

          Every candidate in Dublin Central lives there to the best of my knowledge.

          All the main candidates bar Mary Lou McDonald are born and raised there.

          But, one third of the people living in Dublin Central are non-nationals.

          Are they part of Christy’s “own”?

            It is a forumlation which is “us” against “them”.

            It reminds me of the anti-imigrant rhetoric in the UK, France or the States.

            A-ha! Now I see. You’re calling him a racist because you construe a fairly clear community-based statement as racist.

            Thanks for confirming.

            To the keyboard warriors racism is nothing to do with the poster wording he represents all. Black white yellow. Whatever. Don’t always. Be looking for something that is not there
