he comes across as a fierce weirdo
He has very minimalist campaign posters so Iâd assumed he was a local nutter whoâd get a handful of votes. I was amazed to see him elected
Weâre okay. I just checked it and the grandfather Geoghegan was a Supreme Court judge as well. Did a stint as Attorney General too, which somewhat offsets that he wasnât the Chief Justice, unlike Tom Finlay.
Leo was mad keen to get young James on the ticket for the last general election after his poll topping exploits in the locals. Pesky gender quotas meant he had to stick with Kate OâConnell.
That hairline with those ears? Like I said, an odd individual.
Donât know much about him, but he does seem quite contrary.
Heâd an absolutely horrific childhood so Iâd imagine itâs difficult to come out of that ânormalâ
fierce bang of a finlay geoghegan
What secondary school would he have gone to ??
I doubt it was a polytechnic.
Gonzaga or Clongowes Iâd expect.
Heâs a Gonzaga boy.

A grand uncle John Blayney was a Supreme Court judge as well. A one cap wonder in his younger days, played in the centre. Scored a try on his only outing against Scotland in 1950. Sadly it wasnât enough to gain selection as a bolter on the British Lions tour to New Zealand in 1950.
could this bye election drag shatsie out?
Any relation to the Blayneys who played for Leinster in the late 90âs, early 2000âs?
Wouldnât think so. Theyâre âBlaneyâ and their father is from Belfast. Think those Blaneys are cousins of Greg Blaney, the Down footballer and hurler.

How do gender quotas work for by-elections. Are we likely to see a field of mostly female candidates?
Yes, and they have to swing both ways. Oh wait, thatâs bi-elections.
