I like the sound of that

Great. One vote for him anyway.

Personally, I thought it all sounded mental.

The use of the tricolour and his proven untruths about immigrants in the 1st panel, ruled him out of my vote.

I don't understand how people could look at Ollie Crowe's posters & billboards and think 'Yeah, I'll vote for him'.

The photo of Crowe on his posters and billboards along with the use of cheap slogans just reminds me of Mayor Quimby from The Simpsons

Got flyers in the door today for Darragh O' Flaherty.

"Patriotic Anti-Corruption Candidate."


Very much against "soft talk."

Just copped that he is the guy in the Joe Loughnane video posted earlier in the campaign.

I have my 15th preference decided anyways - I wasn't sure who would get it since Fidelma Healy Eames isn't running.

Haven't a clue yet for 1,2,3

I really like Crowe's magic lamppost ad in today's Advertiser.
He's got my vote. Feck homelessness, trolleys and traffic.

I hope the dog is up to date on his vaccinations.

Ollie's Magic Lamp post

Ollie pulled that straight from Pinterest

Ollie’s “humble lamp post” in today’s Advertiser is like something from The Thick Of It. Utter drivel.

Except he removed the labels from the function so you have to try to figure out what each one means.

Why do this? Because with detail like labels, you might be held to account after you deliver some half-baked solution.

Pure chancer.

Pure chancer.

He also removed the labels because neither him or a lot of his team knew what they meant and they were afraid they might be asked on the canvass

Jesus it's idiotic. What the hell would we need all that crap for? Bet they'll cost 6.5 million and then not end up being waterproof

Grealish dog bite got infected so can't make the GBFM debate.

They have a water detection function though.

Might interest a few. Hildegard Naughton and Sean Kyne voted for this.

Interesting alright, I wonder why they voted for that? Favouring banks over homeowners?

Probably something along the lines of "If wet, light stops functioning and must be replaced"

14 out of 15 candidates show up for the live radio GBFM slot.
Grealish sent in a sick note.

Two hours is not enough time. Connolly is shining brightly above all the rest of the candidates

Admittedly very much tinfoil hat territory here but called it a couple of weeks back when the Build the Bypass signs went up ....

Wouldn't be surprised if a couple of cars broke down around the city at rush hour the day before the election...

Well coming across Tuam Road and over the Q bridge at rush hour this evening there were FOUR cars broken down near important junctions. Each with relaxed individuals sitting inside not looking too concerned.

Coming up to the bridge I knew there would be another breakdown and sure enough!

elguapo

Crowe's pitch is the biggest load of nonsense. "Build the Bypass! But also, green things! And smart things! Smart, green things!" Spoofer.
