Quite the faux pas from President Connolly in her opening remarks as she welcomes the First Minister of Northern Ireland, Michelle Smith.

Now she’s after welcoming former President Mary McAleese and her husband Nick. Martin must have downloading a deed poll.

He went down in my estimation after he went for the second term. He campaigned initially on not going for it. Also, a so called socialist, living it up for an extra 7 years - doesn’t sit well with me.

Who would or should have replaced him?

This all started with Diana’s death.

Broadcasters suddenly felt the need to tap into what they felt was the MOOD OF THE PEOPLE and to display EMOTION.

This has now reached saturation level and has contributed to the informational and political hellscape we now find ourselves in as a species.

Seems a bit over the top. Did Paddy Hillery “live it up”?

Also I read your post in a Kevin Keegan voice in my head. It was inescapable.

That’s beside the point.

I don’t think he should have run.

Maybe it is but I think 14 years is too long to be President.

Why wouldnt he run when there was no alternative to him? It proved 7 years on that there was still no decent alternative.

That’s an opinion. Others would have a different one and others, dare I say most people, would have no opinion.

Seven years with a maximum of two terms always been the way and I’m grand with that.

It’s not a cross I’ll die on.
