Fianna Fáil’s Kevin O’Keeffe, from Mitchelstown, Co Cork, who’s hoping to retain his Cork East Dáil seat, posted photographs of himself standing next to a limousine on Twitter and Instagram in the early hours of Sunday morning.
It followed a Behaviour & Attitudes poll in The Sunday Times showing Fianna Fáil had a 12-point lead on Fine Gael.
However, within hours ,Mr O’Keeffe deleted the picture from his Twitter account after complaints he was “out of touch”. He told Independent.ie:
“It was very negative. I was having a bit of fun I don’t have a limousine.
“I just happened to pull in at a filling station and just for a joke I said: ‘Lads can we put a sticker on the car and take a photo?’ It was shocking they [Twitter users] thought I’d bought a limousine.”
I’m in no way supportive of FF, but this is something people are really tryna make a controversay, but it’s absolutely much ado about nothing.
I agree; I think it was just the unfortunate choice of hashtag that was his undoing.
Two sparrowfarts, grunting
Fuppin’ eejit.
Not the sharpest tool in the box, is Kevin.
Ever meet the Dad?
