Again, why ?
…Sean Gallagher polled over half a million first preference votes last time…as Alan Kelly would say – that’s some drug…very addictive…
that’s embarrassing for mayo
He looks like a big Thumb
Can’t believe people are still falling for the spiel from this grant junkie.
Why does he keep making that ridiculous Mussolini face?
What’s with all the absent councillors?
I’m assuming it’s an anti-Micheal Martin thing from within FF, no?
nope
I’d say tis good oul’ fashioned jobs for the Cumann boys
Rural Councillors making sure one’ah the old guards’ fundraisers’ remembers who his friends are
Well yes.
Same thing, innit… :-)
not really
most oul’ timers are wedged inta those LA seats
and couldn’t give an chicken supper dinner who is visiting the Comhairle Dail Ceantair
the Anti Meehall noise makers are with more ambitious bucks
lads with their eye on National/ European stuff
Depressing, isn’t it. Let’s hope some of our new citizens move to Mayo. Needs less inbreeding.
We should reduce term to 4 years and run presidential lottery for all citizens, instead of elections. It’ll make no difference to the function of presidential office.
there’d have to be some limits – wouldn’t qualify if youre a fatty or suspected paedophile etc- but other than that, great idea
No.
Name and shame the 8 councillors who could have put a stop to this Thumbs election bid
Anyone Solidarity, PFP, Abc Alliances, Labour, Greens and Shinners
Although asking questions and being frillybustery and ornery, they’re abstaining all around the place
Pretty much
And say what ye like
The Confidence & Supply Partners are at least participating
So matter how self-serving and shallow the pandering is
They are at least taking part
So it’s no wonder the Iona Instituter knew she was a runner
Same as the 3 Donkeys
When they say democracy is broken
Look at who is refusing to get the defibrillator
