Candidates for The Park
Independent for the Park Race – who?
Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh: the inimitable and great man from Kerry. I
hope Con Houlihan is better soon and can write about Micheal.
The utterances from Joe Higgins that nobody in the Labour Party is a
Leftist speaks for itself. Anyone with any insight into the life and
speeches and actions of Michael D Higgins could be in no doubt. A bit
precious, self regarding and serious but that’s all right by me.
Gay Mitchell – a Christian Democrat conservative. Great campaigner.
Interesting to see how he will fare.
Mary Davis – Dark horse. Not much exposure yet so hard to know now
that Senator Norris is out of the race.
Gallagher – Fianna Fail – ex national executive – who did he campaign
for in last election? (FF)
Bobby Ballagh – Eh no thanks!
Gay Byrne – Formidable of he was nominated.
Trevor Ringland – There’s one if he could take the oath of office.
First Ulster Unionist for the Vice Regal Lodge since who?
Marian Finucane for Fianna Fail – another bolter.
Eamonn O Cuiv – I respect him – Intelligent and will talk for Ireland.
– Daingean or Dingle – OMG
