I see the IRA Sinn Fein candidate wants NI people to be permitted to vote in ROI presidential election.

Yeah right, that will happen.

Who would have thought, twenty years after the Good Friday Agreement, we'd have people in Ireland adopting the language of Ian Paisley circa 1998? Mad stuff altogether.

Her votes have doubled over the last week. The SF supporter base must have had to be told who their candidate is. She might end up polling better that McGuinness. As for the remark, heard it a million times before. Never going to happen.

Why wouldn't people who identify as Irish be given a vote here? Did you not agree with the GFA? Do you agree with partition?

You are having a laugh, right! Haven't been on the SF site for a few years but you'll find plenty of examples on there. If they've moved it offline in an attempt to clean up their image, google will give you plenty of examples.

It would have to be all Irish then, including people on the mainland UK/US etc. They Irish in NI are no more or less entitled than an Irish American from NY, for example, if it's going to go down that road. There was nothing in the GFA about giving the Irish in NI voting rights in presidential elections.

Here's the waybackmachine record. You can get cached pages (untouched by devious shinner revisionists) of their site way back to when it first went live.

Why would it have to be? These things can be defined.

The taxpayer funded his campaign through rte libel funds

Am I right in saying boards.ie polls have been failry accurate in the past? If so I wouldn't be dropping out of the race if I was Peter Casey!

What happens if Casey withdraws but wins anyway? Apparently its too late to remove his name from the ballot.

As for his comments. I intend voting for him because I think the decision to grant ethnic status was a mistake. In the US this kind of thing leads to Identity Politics and political pandering. In diverse states, tough questions such as gangs e.g. MS13, the Cribs etc are not addressed because of a fear of being called racist if you raise them. Identity Politics in places like Chicago leads to no-go areas and ironically, minorities end up less not more protected by the law.

This campaign was dull, dull, dull until PC got very un-PC, but can you imagine is Miriam had of been running as well !!

That's a handy little thing you have there Francie. The other poster can take a browse through later and take a look at this stuff to convince him or herself of the relationship between the two.

Well it'd be a slap in the face to people who consider themselves Irish from other parts of the world, if you gave it the people in NI only.

Miriam would have been a great candidate and that joan has a head in her that would stop a clock i don't know had she a hard life or what she has a very sad face, so its another bad bunch in My opinion

I was totally against Miriam running but she would have done very well amidst the current candidates imo

Ah, so you weren't able to find the website using the 'SF/IRA' tag. So you thought you would post an IRA t-shirt instead?

Excellent.

I think most reasonable Irish people would see the distinction and why it was being applied.

How foolish do you actually need to be to think that’s a good enough reason to vote for him?

Do people not realize that a) as president there’s not a damn thing he can actually do as regards travellers and b) once elected he will have to guard his words carefully. He even admitted that himself.

No, the first thing that comes up when you type 'Sinn Fein/IRA' into google is a link to a recent SF speech, on the official SF site addressing the IRA. Doubt that is proof enough.

Mookie Blaylock

According to AH Peter Casey is going to be our new president.... and by quite a margin.

....... travellers and Mexicans are in for a rude awakening methinks!

Maybe the presidency is the safest place for him? Stop him inciting hatred and telling porkies.

We have to vote for a new president this month??. Just shows how much I watch or listen to anything to do with Ireland

kerryjack

Ya you will see him at a few GAA matches the ploughing, and at bloom and thats about it like they say down here he is as useless as tits on a bull

NIMAN

I really hope he continues in the race.

I think deep down he's a civil spud. He's not into lying to make himself more attractive to voters (like some of the other candidates). He tells it like it is.

I was doing a bit of reading up on him, and it appears that he may have bought up to 16 properties that were about to be repossessed on families, and rented them back out to the occupants, so they could continue living in them. I know many will say he did that to make money, but I think that shows he has a caring attitude and isn't a vile, vindictive racist as some are trying to paint him.

You may be on to something there!

Quite frankly I’d rather Donal Trump but clearly people don’t care about having integrity and being a proper statesman.

They just want an excuse to stick it to the man.

Bet ye he didn't build stables in them

NIMAN

In fact, I'm just thinking about the debate with PK last week, and he's dropping back a bit in my estimation here, but he said when asked that he wasn't a landlord.

Now if he owns 16 properties and rents them to families who were about to get evicted, then he's a landlord.

Telling a lie about MDH wasn't to make him more attractive to voters? What was the intention then?

Was that the one about planning objection from 1968 or something?

If so, I remember thinking "well that is easily proved or disproved"....how come no media folk followed up on that the next day? Heard nothing about it since.

Has it been proven to be wrong (or a lie?). Maybe PC was given wrong information by an advisor and was simply repeating what he was told? I'm sure he doesn't do all his own research.

Voter apathy.

All it takes is one single comment plank to ride in on populism.

He could easily get in on a couple of thousand votes.

So yeah it's encombent on us all not to allow fellas like this make a mockery of the office. Least we end up looking like a laughing stock .

Yes that's trump territory.

Voter apathy is a thing, do you not see why this bunch of folks are hoping for it. Its why they are running.

Only Trump territory because the other candidates don't have much to offer. Why can't they be "smarter" instead of shouting "racism"?

kerryjack

It could turn out to be the greatest stroke of all time people seem to be talking about it..

Can I ask how you vote in this election?

If you only want one person to win, and don't care about the others, do you only mark one candidate?

If you really hate a certain candidate and definitely want them to get as few votes as possible (I'll not mention names but he has a head like a thumb), should be be left out of it completely or marked as 6th preference?

I’m only putting in a no1 and that’s for PC

Varik

Put down a number 1 only. Don't put down an X on anyone else's name as that spoils the vote.

Some people think that if you don't fill it either with numbered vote or an X (again don't do this), then some crafty counter will fill the rest in.

Yes and Yes, leave them out completely

You've a single transferable vote.
To do the most damage to the one you hate, vote for everyone else in your order of preferance omitting the one you hate.

The level of intelligence amongst a snap shot of Irish voters here is embarrassing.
