Wow! :O
Micheál Martin deserves big prizes both for arrogance and for idiocy. Everyone knows presidential elections are gruelling, that every potential candidate needs intensive scrutiny before endorsement.
Whatever else comes out in the #FiannaFail #Aras25 review, Micheál's colleagues know they are looking at a leader whose political judgement is as useless as #JimGavin's. Micheál may hang on another year, but the #FF leadership election starts here.

#FF's #Aras25 review seems to have concluded that it was all the fault of the politically clueless #JimGavin that the #FiannaFail leadership bullied the Fianna Fáil parliamentary party to adopt a politically clueless candidate for the presidency. 🙄
Glad we cleared that up. 😂🤣
Great reporting by Mícheál Lehane and others at https://www.rte.ie/news/politics/2025/1216/1549211-fianna-fail-review/

The manure is really hitting the fan now for #FiannaFail. The #Aras25 story won't get off the front pages. 2.346 #JimGavins have elapsed, and now #FF is talking of nothing else. Billy Kelleher seems to be looking for a scalp or two.

3 veteran #FiannaFail TDs said the #FF party's #Aras25 review should be published “immediately”.
TDs Willie O’Dea, former Ceann Comhairle Seán Ó Fearghaíl, and Pat ‘The Cope’ Gallagher signed a statement insisting that the party and Martin move swiftly and publish the long-awaited review, stating that the constant leaks and coverage of the report is damaging.

2.346 #JimGavins have elapsed since #FiannaFail started its inquiry into its #Aras25 presidential election disaster. Now #FF is struggling to keep a lid on rumours that the report blames both #JackChambers and Micheál Martin's chief of staff for covering up #JimGavin's dirty secret of ripping off a tenant.

Fianna Fáil is openly bickering about its unpublished (possibly unfinished) report into #JimGavin's disastrous #Aras25 presidential election.
I dunno if the leaks/allegations are accurate. But after 5 months, #FiannaFail still can't sort this. It's a spectacular failure of party organisation.
2.308 #JimGavins have elapsed since #FF established this inquiry. The idea was to learn from events, and move on. Instead, it's spiralling downwards.

#FF #Aras25 inquiry to outlast three #JimGavins.
#JimGavin's #Aras25 presidential campaign crashed on 5th 0ctober, after only 26 days.
So 1 #JimGavin = 26 days. #NewUnitOfTime
#FiannaFail 's inquiry into the disaster was established on 16th October. It was due to report on 12th November, then 5th December, and now it has been postponed to "the new year".
The first working day of the new year is Friday 2nd January, i.e. 79 days after the inquiry started. 79 days in 3.04 #JimGavins.

75% of #Irishpeople support #Irishneutrality.
#CatherineConnolly's clear support for undiluted #neutrality was a big factor in her landslide victory in the #Aras25 presidential election.
Ireland's centrist media runs a propaganda barrage against neutrality. This is a rare case of 3 Irish academics being allowed in The #IrishTimes to make a pro-neutrality case: Patrick Bresnihan, Niamh Ní Bhriain, and Rory Rowan. #TheIrishTimes #iepol

#FF's #Aras25 review to take twice as long as long as its campaign. 😂🤣
#JimGavin was selected as Fianna Fáil presidential candidate on 9 September. He quit on 5 October, i.e. 26 days later.
#FiannaFail announced its review into its failed campaign on 15 October. #RTÉ #RTEnews reports that the review won't be ready until the end of the first week in December, i.e. 5 Dec. That's 51 days.

If we ever again elect a male president, I hope that he too might create a new precedent, by wearing something other than the standard male formal attire of a dark suit. Maybe a #shalwarkameez, or a #kilt, or #shorts.
But please, not like #ReggieBlackrockRoad, who seems to have lost his trousers. No #PresidentsInYfronts please 🙄
(Reggie was planning a run for the #Aras25, but gave up his #ReggieForPresident tour after he lost his trousers)

#IvanYates media coached FF presidential candidate #JimGavin for #Aras25 while pretending to be a pundit. 😮 Yates didn't declare his interest, so has been fired from his podcast with #MattCooper.
Yates now adds "failed media coach" and "sacked podcaster" to his career as politician who quit when on cusp of being party leader, failed bookmaker, bankruptcy tourist, and unreliable pundit. #MultiTalentless 😂🤣

@simon_brooke Indeed, #MikeSmall does great work both as a writer and as editor of the wonderful @BellaCaledonia. Bella is one of the key forums for cerebral analysis of the independence movement and the breakup of #UKania.
I also owe Mike a huge personal debt for his gentle encouragement of my writing, including my two recent pieces on the Irish Presidential election #Aras25 #Aras2025:

President-elect Connolly received the biggest number of votes ever cast in favour of a Presidential candidate. Tha appeal of this woman and the quality and breadth of effort behind her campaign were underestimated by many. We are lucky to have them. #Áras25 #Tofa #Úachtarán #GRMA

Our policy used to be that foreign warships were welcome in our ports as long as they were not engaged in military exercises. That long standing policy seems to be being quietly 'reinterpreted' in favour of NATO. #Aras25 #JoiningUp #Drills www.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-41...

If you were from another country and turned on this debate, you'd wonder why on earth are we so deep in the minutiae of Dáil passes.

Going to prison after conviction doesn't count as accountability for Heather Humphreys for some reason.
What exactly does she want?
-
-
Is this the first time that Heather Humphreys is claiming that she made written representations on behalf of Lucia O'Farrell?
Then she should have no problem producing them.

Heather Humphreys grasping for something to have criticised the EU of and comes up with ... Overregulation 😮
