Seems like a nice leafy suburb to me.

I’m gobsmacked.

It doesn’t even have gates in front.

How the hell did he keep it secret?

Even google know about it.

I couldn't give a shiny shyte if he has 32 houses in Galway, secret or common knowledge.

Just wondering how you reckoned the house didn't exist/plot of land/ if it was underground - is all.


Have you thought of visiting vision express by any chance

Has anyone mentioned the court case the travellers who don’t want the mansions in Tipperary have brought yet?
It’s not only two stables and a field each they’re looking for.

Ahead of tomorrow's vote, it is worth pointing out that, if Peter Casey was to win the election, no he won't be able to affect any policy. This is known, no need to keep pointing it out.
But what he would be able to do, is affect the narrative, because be assured, that if he were not in this race, then the questions around certain cultures in Ireland would go without scrutiny or answers.
The behavior would continue unchallenged, no questions to be answered. People will continue to not ask the questions for fear of intimidation. Keep the head down and stay out of their way

Peter Casey as President, can continue to highlight the issues and problems middle and rural Ireland face. Of that I am sure.
The President is entitled to raise things and keep stories in the public domain for discussion.
Be warned, that the media and current politicians do not want this conversation to be had. They much prefer to distract the electorate and let on that only a small minority have a problem with being intimidated and robbed from, that only a small minority have questions about the lifestyles they are funding from their hard earned wages.

If you want other people to put themselves forward in General Elections on policies that defend rural Ireland from robberies, to protect middle Ireland's wages from being plundered on blatant waste and to propose alll round common sense approaches to running society, then you have to vote Peter Casey. Send the message. Start something. Make the media and politicians address the questions. Let others come forward and offer alternatives.

Imagine that, imagine having alternatives from the soft nonsense that is offered at each election! Imagine having candidates like Peter Casey in every constituency and every election. Give them a chance, start it tomorrow by voting for Casey and tell everyone you are voting for him.

They have launched a legal action to claim squatters rights on the land they’ve been illegally camped on. A source has told me that the demands for a stable and field are a stalling tactic as they want the court action finished before they move so they can claim ownership of the land, and then move into the houses. Source says that the plan is to sell the land to the council, who would then give it back to them as the land they are requesting for their horses!

I am fully aware, as an engaged citizen that there are many problems and I have long bemoaned the quality of our representation.
What I will not do and never will do is have any hand act or part in electing someone who will incite hate to effect change.

In our recent history, and in Casey's life, we have seen how dangerous that is.
Never give hate a chance at the polling booth, vote for any other candidate but Casey.

There’s one thing for sure if young casey wins I’m up 250 quid. So you all may vote for him thx xoxo

I think he must have had the house buried underground so it could be kept secret.

I think it's secret, because of the poor mouth, nothing heard about it, all we've heard about is his previous house, with the new alarm, but he seems to like his current address as the permanent one. (Can't seem to attach an image from my phone, but the land registry confirms his address as Áras an Uachtaráin.)

Ps. I'm voting for Casey, no one telling me what to do.

I did a quick poll of my neighbours , middle aged or retired, middle class, in Cork city, all were voting Casey. Many brought it up, wanting to know what I thought, I'm 30 years younger. All angry over the group think on the media.

Why did you pick my post to say that and not the one advocating a vote for Casey?

The establishment wants to equate truth with hate, honesty with bigotry, criticism of the status quo as dangerous and reactionary.
How have we got to a position where the main opposition party supports the government and together they support the re election of a former president of the Labour Party. All the while having tried to prevent an election taking place.
Vote for whoever you want tomorrow. But ask yourself if you want your vote to be one of hundreds of thousands of votes to endorse the status quo tomorrow or if you want to use your vote to send a message to those who would use their dominant position to protect their self interest.

I did not criticise any of the other candidates, but rather let it be known who I would like to see in that office, for reasons I have given

Do not forget, the only reason we have 3 dragons, plus 2 mediocre personalities is that neither FF nor FG can afford an election, it has nothing to do with the job MDH has performed.

It doesn't suit them, fortunately we have been afforded an unexpected opportunity to voice your opposition to this highly centralised, highly dysfunctional political system led by highly paid Ministers and highly paid Civil Servants and political advisors, which is affecting households across this country in the shape of a dysfunctional housing market, dysfunctional Health Service, dysfunctional Judiciary, Rotten Garda Management culture, rotten Media landscape and they have all endeavored to undermine the democratic process by treating the black sheep of this debacle as a racist/bigot/Trump like/insert any number of highly emotive insults...I won't be missing this opportunity to use vote with my conscious.

(By the way, I am well aware PC can't do jot about it, but we have to start somewhere who knows if we will ever get a chance like this again)

FF FG have practically merged because they are afraid of SF becoming the main opposition party. The game is up when that happens.

They are each petrified for their own survival reasons of facing an electorate. That is what is happening politically, no need for conspiracy theories.

How long the electorate stand for a practically paralysed government remains to be seen.
