FG threw her to the wolves apparently. Itās very odd. Almost as if they didnāt want the seat for fear of splitting Paul Kehoes and Michael Darcys vote next time around.
They thought she was forthright, straight talking, formidable, self made (went back and did her LC and got a degree as an adult, set up her own business etc etc), displaying all that get up and go and enterprise that FG are all about, and that it would resonate with the voters.
A cursory look at her many appearances on Vinny Browne / Tonight Show showed her to be ignorant and thick as shit with a misplaced self confidence and arrogance.
A trucker was never going to cut it with the FG electorate.
Itās good news for Kehoe. He has been under serious pressure for a while now and Verona was very much been built up to take over from him.
2 FF, 2 FG 1 Lab is pretty much the natural order in Wexford. Mind you itās now weighted District wise, 2 Enniscorthy, 2 Gorey, 1 Wexford:
It mustnāt be hard to get a law degree in this country.
Iāve been in a room with her before at a meeting. Sheās thick as bottled pigshit and one of the most ignorant people Iāve ever met.
They rightly abandoned her after the controversy but putting her forward in the first place was madness.
Fairly damning considering youāre from tipp
You a trucker?
I agree with her on abolishing the rsa. Sheās the only candidate Iāve ever heard say it. A quango that costs millions and gives highly paid jobs to the likes of Russell Murphyās most famous client and Liz O Donnell. All so they can tell us wear a selt belt, donāt drink and watch your speed ffs. Itās some country
She is stage five rattled
Iām a researcher for the VB show.
You vile gombeen
He looks totally different
Heās still sharp though. Very informative interview in fairness especially since the host wouldnt be typically interviewing political figures previously or anyone else for that matter.
Hes sharp alright. Heās also one of the greatest cnuts in the country.
Paddy Holohan?
Lorraine Clifford Lee really threw it away in Fingal. Verona has taken the spotlight off her somewhat. Wonder will Champ de-select her.
