CEO of Claddagh Resources and former Dragon’s Den star Peter Casey
Newstalk reports:
Businessman Peter Casey has announced his intention to seek a nomination in the upcoming presidential election.
He’s the third star of Ireland’s Dragons’ Den show to join the race – following Sean Gallagher and Gavin Duffy.
Mr Casey is also the founder of recruitment firm Claddagh Resources.
He’s set to run on a platform “based on connecting with the diaspora and with communities”.

I blame Trump. He gave them notions
+1
Go-getter TV hot-shots think they have the polish, required finesse and cultural literacy to be head of State…no wonder they think if that illiterate donkey Trump can do it…
+1
There’s more presidential candidates than pieces of the actual cross at this point.
At least his platform is slightly realistic
I think we should put the ‘dragons’ into a pit, or a den, say, and let them kick the snots out of each other, and the winner will get to go head to head with Miggeldy in an epic beat poetry battle.
And then maybe, just maybe, we’ll let the winner be president.
*clicks fingers*
Niiice.
Necks on them like a jockeys boopity-boop-boops.
…makes a change from charity CEOs…
Ha! True. It’s funny how it comes in waves.
Presumably RTÉ have it on rotation. For the 2025 presidential election the candidates will be a selection of the most highly-paid presenters. In 2032 it will be the cast of Fair City.
Leo Dowling 2032.
We know he can’t act, but can he real life?
That’s when Mir will eventually get her chance.
Is Nathan Carter’s brother from Irish Strictly under 35? Must be the only reason he’s not running.
What a clusterfupp! Just cos one country elected a reality show host, all the zelebs who’ve ever been on one now think they fit the criteria to be President of Ireland.
He was a nice little fella! About the same size as Miggledy so he could wear all his suits. Hoiked in with a belt, obv.
Sweet Mary Mother of dragons
Interesting quick reads on Glassdoor of Claddagh Resources… by admittedly skewed sources. However if i was to run for president I’d scrub the internet of that kinda lark, or make sure it wasn’t 2/3 placed in SERP
Three dragons and a Hobbit….
Does that make Gemma… Galadriel ?
Gollum?
Lobelia Sackville-Baggins
Look, there just aren’t that many female characters in Tolkien.
There was Rosie Cotton? Sam’s gf
Rosie Cotton didn’t threaten anyone with legal action for asking questions about the disposition of a certain set of silver spoons, unlike Lobelia S-B. Probably.
Methinks there’s a plan afoot with the number of stalking horses grazing in the field.
+1 Peter Casey is the stalking horse for Duffy and Gallagher. His role is to be an attack dog on Higgins while the two others get the nomination. Duffy & Gallagher will be transfer friendly so both will benefit each other.
More chancers
I have a great idea
Instead of elections we turn it into a celebrity big brother like competition
The competition is over 7 nights where they are all on the house and are given tasks like big brother to do
A phone line to vote them out is the way we do it
The winner gets the salary the free house the car and the unlimited free travel
I also think is is suited to the calibre of who wants to be president
The show can be sindicated world wide with RTE having sole rights
Marty Morrissey could host it
