    Sean Gallagher getting 8+ percent. The mind boggles.

    I suppose if you are in a room of 100 people there is a chance at 8 being Fianna Failers.

    Mary Davis has 1 vote, 1 less than Dana.

    'Less Popular than Dana, the woman who claimed assassination attempts'. I find that amusing.

    20% on the Irish Independent poll. There's always a few. Suppose at least we can be fairly sure he wasn't involved in the "disappearance" of civilians. Step up from some candidates.

    If you have any evidence of that I recommend you go to the authorities, or to the media.

    One thing we will learn today is that the Fianna Fail core vote don't want to leave the old ways of cronyism and corruption behind

    Right, he has admitted being to second-in-command of the IRA in the 70s. There are plenty of Gardai, IRA members and MI5 operatives who would testify that he was still high up in the IRA long after that. If you think he wasn't involved in any deaths you are incredibly naive or incredibly stupid

    If you have evidence go to the authorities, or the media. They would love to hear from you.

    I could invent allegations against . . . say. . . . . David Norris here, thing is though, without evidence an allegation is all that it would be.

    Whether or not there is any evidence that he directly committed any murders, being a prominent member of the organisation as he was, he is as guilty as any trigger man

    He has 15% on the exit-poll in the politics forum. Never underestimate the idiocy of others!

    You do realise that the Saville report, the report commissioned by the British Government to investigate the troubles in the north, and which was the most expensive report they ever commissioned, took 14 years or something to complete, had 14 volumes, released just last year, could not show that MMG was guilty of any wrongdoing and could not tell how directly he was involved.

    It was only last year that the british government apologised for their wrongdoing in the north and declared the irish, that they had considered guilty, innocent.

    Move on FFS, and as suggested if you have information, go inform someone.

    Following the rejection of Lisbon, the government-commissioned study published by Millward Brown found the following.

    I wonder was there any research after the yes vote because I don't think the electorate was that much better informed for the second referendum either.

    • David Norris 11%
    • Dana Rosemary Scallon 3%

    I've a feeling that mightn't be too far of the final result, depends really on how much the Gallagher collapse is, telling a few porkies didn't do Berties much damage after all, in 07!

    Gave my No. 1 Vote to Gay Mitchell - only man qualified for the highest position in our State. He is HONEST, and has vast experience to help get out Country working again. Cannot understand why the polls and the people cannot see this - but we live in a Democracy. We must accept and take the Good with the Bad - as it happens! Unfortunately, we are all paying for having FF in power for too long (voted in by the people of Ireland) - so I only hope that these same people of Ireland will not make the same mistakes again and vote in FF by the back-door....I don't think our fine Country could take anymore shame by that Party and their members.
    Gave my No. 2 to Michael D Higgins - another Statesman, with oodles of experience!

    Drawing a self-portrait on the ballot sheet will only mean that it is deemed to be a spoiled ballot.:D:D:D
