    Just a quick reminder that you can all legitimately cancel your Interflora orders for Sunday, on account of the gays, there will be no Mother's Day. Fidelma has it on good authority.

    As usual her press release is deluded indicating that she is choosing to give up her seat. The only reason she got it in the first place is because she was with fine Gael. She hadn't a hope in hell getting back in

    Am as far from a fan as you can get, but I don't see the above in her statement at all.
    She has decided not to run, that's pretty much all it says.
    Nowhere in that statement does she refer to "her seat".

    To be honest, she probably saw the writing on the wall and has decided best to get out now than waste more money on an unsuccessful campaign.

    I think she mentioned about going back to teaching before. I think I would rather her in the Seanad were her power is limited than having the opportunity to teach children.

    Saw part of Cutting Edge.
    FDE and the other lady were OK compared to the loud eejit in the fancy jacket.
    That lad sure has a great welcome for himself

    Don't encourage her.
    I don't think I could cope with Fidelma introducing herself as the Aras Toilet Scrubber representative for Galway West

    I hope she runs, and I'd urge anybody who meets her to encourage her to run.

    The satisfaction of watching her crash and burn at the polls will be immense.
