European and Local Elections

No shock there, pal.

sorry mate. Carryharry has said we can’t discuss byelections in this thread.

I’d leave a bit in Helen Mac I must say.

A lot of the male population of Meath would too judging by her % of 1st preference votes.

Helen McEntee must still be grieving for her father. Particularly in the circumstances in which he died. Sure it was only just before Christmas.

A Political career is a soft cushion to lean on.

Do you think it’s a bit of a poor reflection on Irish politics that someone with no political experience gets elected as a TD just because of her father (far from an unprecedented situation I know)

They were precisely the circumstances surrounding Enda Kenny’s election as a TD in 1975

was watching reeling in the years from 75 only last night. Enda had a fine head of hair in it.
