refreshed its line up -9-11am it’s David McCullagh, 11-1pm it’s Oliver Callan, 1.45-3pm it’s Kieran Cuddihy-so except for news where there may be a woman presenter, between 9-3pm it’s man, man, man. How refreshing it that? #manel #speirgorm #missedoppertunity #sameoldsameold

Ah here, if you think Catherine Connolly is an extremist I’ve not idea why you follow me, our politics would be very similar

And from Holly Cairns:
Responding to comments made by Fine Gael Minister Jennifer Carrol MacNeill earlier, Social Democrats leader Holly Cairns said: "Minister Carroll MacNeill's statement should be seen for the desperate distraction attempt that it is. "It is genuinely disappointing to see a senior government minister reduced to cheap negative campaigning. "From my own experience of campaigning with Catherine in recent weeks, I know that her message of positivity, social justice and inclusion is really resonating with people all over the country and her campaign has huge momentum. "Those of us supporting Catherine's bid for the presidency refuse to be distracted by baseless attacks from a Fine Gael party that is clearly lashing out and in panic mode." Ends.

Well this is just jawdropping - have a listen, the smear campaign by FG on Catherine Connolly is really their only tactic. Also has anyone (other than a niece/nephew) ever called Heather Humphreys ‘Auntie Heather’? #speirgorm #aras25

The barrister story is a nothing burger … barristers take all sorts of jobs … and the Syria story has been done over and over - nothing is sticking. I see panic rather than opinion / reportage driving these stories

Notice no real hit pieces on Humphreys and constant, daily sniping at Connolly - almost as if there was an agenda 🤔 #speirgorm #aras25

The election takes place on 24 October but the bookmaker claimed it has 'seen enough' to call it.

I’d disagree, Catherine Connolly will make an excellent President, much like her three predecessors - all of whom were treated as beyond the pale as candidates by some elements

So the least objectionable candidate is a guy who wouldn’t pay back rent and it seems may have broken the landlord registration rules - but I suppose corrupt landlords are a FF model

The now deleted video from Heather Humphreys’ team including an image of the Reichstag building in Berlin.

Video focused on how Heather knows the border and the North - and was posted days after she said she doesn’t just go on “day trips”.

Surely with a barrister in the family she should have more knowledge of the constitution? Those claiming that Maria Steen being on the ballot would give FF voters a destination for their vote -not all FF voters want to take us back to the 1950s #aras25 #speirgorm www.irishtimes.com/politics/202...
