I think i flagged some of this in the twitter pile on thread - Its an odd one. She made some flames at the IT and then an IT person whos got serious chops in the repeal dept struck back and now woke left twitter hates her and the establishment already hated her anyways. thats a pretty awful set of stools to fall between. it wasn't long ago she was a national hero of sorts.

I went on twitter and conveniently it was in my suggested things.

I think the accusation is tenuous, more an extrapolation than a statement. I took Doherty's tweet to be highlighting that varadkar is just leaning with the breeze for approval rather than looking at the youth as a whole, but If i'm proven wrong thats grand. Its not a good indication of where we are as consumers of information that one tweet, extrapolated is a legit policymaker for a lot of people. binary though processes and all.
 
She might address some of this in this thread

There was another tweet of her's about trans kids that I saw too.
 
Was it a specific statement or an extrapolation? Link would be great because all I've seen so far is kitty (who is angry about the IT being called out) speculating and Twitter taking the bait.

I'll see if I can find it, IIRC the general jist was why is the government worrying about this silly thing when there are loads of other problems in the country

Ah I wasn't quite right, she wasn't saying why are the government worrying about this silly thing. She said they were "twisted" for being concerned with it

Part of me was hoping she'd clear up the thing or it was a misrepresentation, or she knew something and was on a best interests campaign. I still think the IT spat shouldn't be so easily transformed into 'yes but transphobe' because she's right about the property porn thing. Maybe she's got a book in the pipeline...
 
So eh,

I'm not familiar with Anyone who isn't miggledy, Sharkey or O Doherty.

Are any of them grown ups or is it all egos? Anyone impressive there I know nothing about?

Nope, none of them

Looking up Patrick Feeney, he got 22 votes in the last sail election

Padraig o'ceidigh's website Vision, Integrity & Execution - Pádraig Ó Céidigh has a list of interest but isn't clickable to let people know his views on the issues


Marie goretti moylan - all the information available on her is that she wants to run for president and that she is from Westmeath.

Kevin Sharkey is running "to start a conversation on immigration"

if there are no other candidates in the field, i'd just be giving no. 1 to higgins and walking out of the ballot box
 
is there any chance of getting mary mcaleese back for another round? i wasn't a big fan last time but i like her current policy of having a right go at the pope
