This morning.

Further to fallout from Una Mullally’s Irish Times profile of Dublin Bay South Fine Gael candidate James Geoghegan…

…via former Taoiseach John Bruton

…Una Mullally fails to mention his work as an elected member of Dublin City Council, where he serves on key committees. Perhaps this sort of work is below Ms Mullally’s elevated field of vision.

She does, however, mention that he worked as an intern in the EU delegation in Washington, while I was ambassador there.

His work included writing reports on meetings he attended in Washington DC on behalf of the EU.

They were of a standard of insight, thoughtfulness, and readability to match those authored by some of the excellent diplomatic and professional staff of our delegation.

I believe, on that direct experience, his election to the Dáil would enhance the Oireachtas as a whole.

You couldn’t make it up.

The privilege is all his.

This afternoon.

A desperate last-minute plea handwritten appeal to Dublin Bay South voters from Fine Gael candidate James Geoghegan.

Richard writes:

The sore wrists in YFG after this will be disappointed to hear that the cringiness of this letter alone has ensured James an even lower place on my ballot this Thursday.

Ah here.

This afternoon.

He wanted to be the ‘voice for the generation locked out of the housing market’.

How’s that going?

Via Irish Independent.ie:

…the Price Property Register shows the Fine Gael barrister and his wife bought a house three years ago in Clonskeagh in South County Dublin for €730,000.

House prices in Dublin have risen 2.8pc in the last year with the median price in the capital now standing at €390,000 and rising to €540,000 in Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown.

While he is running to be elected in Dublin Bay South, Mr Geoghegan’s home in the neighbouring Dublin Rathdown constituency.
