    It is not junk mail, it is a political message and elections only happen every couple of years. It's usually people that have those signs that moan about politicians not being in touch. Junk mail would be the likes of take away menus and clothes collections not political leaflets. ...

    Not sure I agree most the ones I saw were full of generic soundbites rather anything of substance. Ditto their websites.

    I think there's a couple of issues there.

    Litir Um Thoghachain - this is sent to everyone on the electoral register, one from each candidate. With 7 Presidential Candidates and 13 Bye-Election Candidates, that's 20 addressed items to each voter..which is a lot

    Other Party literature - in my opinion that is only junk mail when it only comes at election time. Certainly Labour and FG send regular updates during the year. It really winds me up when politicians only think we're worth contacting at election time.

    I didn't get anything from any of the Independent candidates for the Bye-election.

    Patrick Nulty is 28 going on 29 and is a policy analyst for a housing and homeless charity. As a result he'll have policy and legislative experience, the last thing the Dail needs is another teacher.


    That's a fantastic response. As a result of his legislative experience, how will he vote for water charges and the upcoming budget?

    Let me remind you before you say FF this and FF that, Patrick Nulty said on drivetime RTE that he will always vote with Labour. It is on Youtube if I am not mistaken.

    Patrick Nulty is screwed now no matter what way you look at it.

    Joan Burton is absolutley devastated - he is a loose canon and he may blame it on FF - but what the hell is he going to do? First challenge is wealth tax that he wants instead of water charges. What will happen? F**K ALL.

    He is f*****d
