I'm thinking of giving a 2 to Joan Freeman so that she might get her money back but I don't really know anything about her. Does she deserve her money back?

She deserves a lot of credit for Pieta House (though I've seen a few things recently saying that they're not quite as good as widely though, I'd still think they do their best) but personally she has opinions I disagree with, family connections to the Iona institute I believe.

She's Iona Institute isn't she?

Hmm, I missed the news yesterday. Apparently she can't be affiliated with the Iona Institute because her daughter is in a same-sex relationship

Your best course of action if you really want to help someone get a deposit back is to give them your number 1 and then your #2 to MDH (assuming that he's who you really want to win) to they'll definitely get the credit for the vote but it'll transfer to MDH when they're eliminated.

I actually think there's a good chance he'll be elected on the first count.

I heard her denying it on the radio this morning. Apparently this rumour was pissing off her gay daughter

Yeah, I missed that

I see she gave a talk at a Wednesday evening novena in Sligo in 2014 while David Quinn spoke at the Tuesday novena. Hmm, novenas are weird

Her daughter had better be super gay

 

[Lili Marlene]

I’m such a positive person, I don’t think about threats, I don’t think about who’s better than me because I believe I’m the best. I believe I’m the best person, and I believe I will get the votes.”

I'm not voting for anyone who talks like that.

She has denied this several times. Maria Steen is her niece. Theresa Lowe is her sister.

 

[therealjohnny]

Theresa Lowe is Iona? Where in the world did you get that idea..?

 

[Lili Marlene]

I think it's only fair that the Iona institute get to lose again.

Theresa Lowe isn’t Iona either as far as I know, but she campaigned against repealing the 8th amendment.

They're the less interesting Iona family though, it's the Ascough's who married into Schönborn family - Wikipedia

it must be quite a jump down from the Holy Roman Empire to hanging around rainy potato island.

What Exactly Is the Iona Institute?

I've zero evidence but I've always been background concerned about the pieta movement being a subtle evolution on the confession box. Its not like its the first or last time religion has used some form of misery as a commodity like. I'm certain this opinion will have me on the community rack by friday.

He's gone too far this time

Pride: Joan Freeman's daughter 'comes out' to try to silence Iona links - Independent.ie

 

[Lili Marlene]

She has actual family links and she voted no herself.

but ok, fair enough, lets judge her on what she wants to bring to the presidency:

Why I'm Standing - Vote Joan

As President, I will champion Ireland’s wellbeing. I will promote the value of wellness in the home, in the workplace and in schools by:

• Hosting regional seminars on wellness with relevant stakeholders

FUCKING HELL.
