Worst remake of Craig David’s seven days yet

There’s always been a circus element there but I’d say decent candidates just said immediately no when they realise ff and fg had shut that door

Not a chance. Enough ructions over a similar style of vote for von der lyns job.

They resign pres commission acts and fresh election

And never gave it back

The whole ff nonsense has really shown now how it’s a ridiculous idea to block council noms by parties. Parties have no constitutional position. Local gov and oireachtas do. Transplanting the whip through bodies is ridiculous.

For the record: it is not possible, at this juncture, to officially withdraw or to remove a name from the #aras25 ballot paper.

Jim Gavin’s name will remain on the ballot for Friday 24th, merely with no campaign behind it.

Gavin was never the right candidate. I hope he refunds his tenants and goes back to his day job and lives in peace. The fault here lies with whatever bright spark though he was a good candidate and never did their research.
