Who is the well known person Fine Gael is going to put forward in one pf the Duiblin constituences today? Could it be Pat Kenny?

RATM · 04-05-2009 9:21am

As if Brussels isn't boring enough without Pat Kenny being there.

Foxhound38 · 04-05-2009 9:34am

Ship him off to Europe 1 way so we don't have to deal with him anymore

mike65 · 04-05-2009 1:44pm

More Importantly, who cares!

A blueshirt to join the browshirts and blackshirts of Brussels. How can this not be a good idea?

Tom65 · 04-05-2009 2:11pm

It won't be Pat Kenny, he's got his new current affairs program on RTÉ coming up.

Gerry mc Cann?

Mr Benevolent · 04-05-2009 2:20pm

Podge. Nah, too liberal. Rodge maybe?

Mr.Lizard · 04-05-2009 2:22pm

They say it's 'well known' so it can't be Enda Kenny anyway.

Gavin "shels" · 04-05-2009 2:23pm

Seán Kelly.;)

Saibh · 04-05-2009 2:26pm

Fine Gael seem to have a fondness for celebrity candidates lately- John O'Mahoney in Mayo, Sean Kelly in Munster.

No money I'm afraid to tell you ... you'll have to do it for free.

Do you still want the job?

According to todays irish Times its going to be George 'The Economy's Fooked' Lee.

Aidric · 05-05-2009 9:42am

I have it on good authority that it's to be Brendan O Carroll. His unique brand of smut is seen to be exactly what's needed to get people rejuvenated.

FlutterinBantam · 05-05-2009 9:45am

His mother was a candidate at one time in the past I believe.

LOL thats funny except that he never seems to vote. I lived in his area for a while his ballot was never ticked off!

giftgrub · 05-05-2009 9:45am

George Lee

I'm telling you, he's the man or i'll eat my cat.

I could have a cat

RATM · 05-05-2009 9:46am

Well whoever it is they should have an easy run against the FF candidate. Apparently Shay Brennan, son of the late Seamus, is running for FF. Normally you'd imagine he'd be a shoe-in for his fathers Dail seat but the thing is, he works for Anglo Irish. Methinks poor Shay is going to take a lot of abuse from forlorn shareholders in well heeled south County Dublin.....:pac:

Nehaxak · 05-05-2009 4:07pm

Honestly like, who cares apart from the FG spin doctors trying to whip up some public opinion and media interest ???

FF/FG they're both the same, both steeped in nepotistic political favours and backward mongoloid candidates. Both have only their own interests at heart and neither give a flying fúck about the Irish people nor the state itself, nor did they ever. They can put as many young femine looking male candidates up as they want, they're still shít. Neither FF nor FG have ANYTHING whatsoever to offer the Irish people, nothing...

Well it is a bye-election for a TD seat so it's a step in the right direction.

Mr Lee, a so called "economic analyst" and reporter at RTE since 1992, has become increasingly high-profile in recent years with his constant whining and his "I told you so" smugness when the country had gone in the shítter.

Fixed their spin.

ejmaztec · 05-05-2009 5:04pm

They should have had Armitage Shanks.

RATM · 05-05-2009 5:07pm

Id say he'll give Shay Brennan a good run for his money. The media will no doubt portray it as the Economist (Lee:RTE) who predicted the end of the boom versus the Banker (Brennan:Anglo Irish) who fecked up the boom.

Regardless of whether you like or hate George Lee you've got to admit this is a ballsy move. He's giving up a cushy number at RTE to take a risk on an election. Would be terrible ironic if Lee finds himself without a job or a Dail seat come June 6th:eek:
