Irish Presidency

The guy who looks like Professor Pat Pending from the Wacky Races should win - just for looking interesting and not at all like a politico.

Sorry Gareth, think it was 18% and its the red c poll in the Sunday business post.

Thanks. I read the article on their website, but there's no mention of the margin of error of the poll. I'm guessing it's pretty big!
 
Powers 11/8 on Michael D I noticed when i was in earlier. They seem to think Gallagher has a genuine chance. Money on fav
 
Serious case for backing Higgins with Powers-there is a chance that they will pay out earl yon one of the candidates.
 
Is Gallagher really going to win this?

McGuinness got a savage going over by Miriam the other night, but I don't actually think he really wants the job. He's only in it to raise the profile of Sinn Fein - which he has already achieved.

The whole thing is a joke. Vincent Browne should be president.

I cannot see Gallagher winning this myself.......
 
The only difference between Gallagher and a lot of us on here is that he has a black belt in Judo!! Bar The Bull seems one of the most politically astute on here. I think we should prepare our campaign for 7 years time!! What would be our manifesto??????

He's practically blind like most of us too.


1. Sean is visually impaired
Gallagher was born with congenital cataracts, which has left him with limited sight. At four years of age he had an iredectomy operation which only managed to restore partial sight. As a result of his condition, Gallagher has involved himself with a string of sight-related charities such as Sightsavers Ireland.
2. Sean is no stranger to the jobs pages
Despite the fact that Sean is a millionaire, thanks in large part to his co-founding of Smart Homes (a company that specialises in integrating technology into houses during the build-stage), he is no stranger to unemployment. He told the Irish Independent recently that he found himself out of work on three occasions since leaving school.
3. Sean was a Fianna Fáiler
Although he would appear to be more closely aligned with the current government, back in the day Sean was a paid up member of country-wreckers Fianna Fáil. He started out in the 1980s as a member of Ógra Fianna Fáil and served on the party wing’s National Youth Committee.
4. Sean has some weird business interests
His time on Dragon’s Den has left Gallagher with some unusual investments in his portfolio. They include gardening gadgets called Grow Rings, a tool that allows you to bleed an oil boiler, a line of chocolate-covered health snacks, a website for advertising pedigree cattle and a stageshow called Santa Ponsa or Bust.
5. Sean knows how to throw a slap
As well as having a black belt in judo and karate, Sean has also spent some time in the ring as an amateur boxer. Of all the dragons, he’s the last one you would want to jump in the car park for taking the piss out of your crackpot money making scheme.

A political broadcast on behalf of Sean Gallagher - Sheikh - what are you doing for the next 7 years - The Bull needs a strong PR man-:D

I had heard that Smarthomes were close to bust if not bust already......:blink:
 
Point 3 wouldn't be in his favour but I will be voting for him unless something extraordinary comes to light. The Leprachaun will get my no. 2. No one else will get a vote.
 
I wouldn't hold the Fianna Fail thing against him.

This whole thing that anyone who might have said a positive word about Fianna Fail in the last 20 years aren't worthy of giving the time of day is lazy and tiresome thinking in my opinion.
 
They presided over the ruination of the Country. It's just common sense to consider someone's affiliations and their role (if any) within an organisation.

Gallagher describes himself as a grassroots FF'er that became disillusioned with the party and walked away. I'm willing to accept that.
