I made up her comments about active travel in the hope you’ve already sent them into your Green Party/Environmental Republicanism WhatsApp group.

I think Malcolm Noonan has a good shot of retaining his seat in Carlow/KK.
He has a big personal vote in KK city, people will vote for him and still hate the Greens, he has been a community, heritage and arts activist for decades, and he will be transfer friendly from the city Labour candidate and both John McGuinness and David Fitzgerald, also city based. He will also pick up transfers from the rest of the left, Adrienne Wallace’s (PBP) transfers got him over the line last time
The Sinn Fein candidate is not as well known, the general SF vote might see her through but I’m not so sure

The SF candidates name was so long I couldn’t read it when I was driving past them. I was only doing about 70.

That was some evisceration of David Fitzgerald by Yatesy when he said, ‘the only difference between David Fitzgerald and Michael Doyle, is that Michael is liked’

They are putting huge money behind David Fitzgerald, his posters are EVERYWHERE.
Anytime I e met him, he seemed nice. He’s very well-connected in Kilkenny
He’s related to the Crottys and the Gibbons’

Will FF take 3 seats?

Looks very likely, polls have Chap Cleere topping the poll, (personally, I find this inexplicable, he’s affable but limited), Jennifer Murnane O’ Connor will definitely take, probably the only, Carlow seat, she’s something like 1/20 and the McGuinness machine is out so he will hold

Unbelievably uncomfortable to watch.
A clearly broken woman at the end of her tether and he cant even listen to her.

He’s terrible at this public stuff unless it’s a complete scripted photoshoot

He’s at sixes & sevens trying to think on his feet how to react to her, flapping about, walking away & coming back to her twice & then fucking off.

I was coming here to post that. Simple Simon needed a reboot after that malfunction

He needs the script because he is an actor. Every aspect of his persona is contrived, the man has zero substance. To make it worse he is going for a US presidential style rather than a typical Taoiseach style.

What really grates with me is there was speculation that FG were pulling a bit of a stroke and leaving him there as a patsy on a temporary basis, but that is all forgotten about now and there is a realistic probability that this fraud could be the leader of our country for the next few years.

I’d that the Michael Doyle who was a very good underage hurler, went to Good Counsel… I think arthritis may have hindered his progression

He is a complete and utter wanker. We didn’t fight the civil war to put a cunt like that in charge.
