The Daily PollWITH SATURDAY’S NOMINATION of Gay Mitchell as Fine Gael’s candidate for the presidential election later this year, the list of candidates facing the electorate is now becoming clear.
MEP Mitchell beat off fellow party hopefuls Pat Cox and Mairead McGuinness to secure his party’s nomination. He will be up against former arts and culture minister Michael D Higgins, who was selected by the Labour Party last month.
Also in the running is independent senator David Norris who has consistently led TheJournal.ie polls on the presidential race.
Norris is one of three independent candidates. Another is Seán Gallagher, the businessman and Dragons’ Den judge who claims to have the support of a number of county councils. He needs the endorsement of four councils in total or 20 members of the Oireachtas to secure a nomination.
Also lobbying for similar support is fellow independent Mary Davis, the former head of Special Olympics Ireland.
So, if you could vote today, who would you pick to be the next President of Ireland?
Give us the answer so we don’t have to watch the v clip
Can’t watch videos in work….c’mon Journal. Get with the programme.
He drives a four wheel drive VW transporter and an Audi A4. Sorry I watched the video now!
Cheers John
does he wear the jumpsuit everywhere he goes
Some say he knows two facts about ducks, and both of them are wrong.
Glad to see he had the last laugh over Clarkson who publicly derided him on a number of occasions for leaving the show.
How has he had the last laugh? Clarkson is worth millions.
I AM THE STIG!
Clarkson lost Top Gear and his ego will have taken a severe beating as a result..no money on the world can offer any comfort to that ego maniac..
Is this television or a a news website?
Ahh Jebus Paul do you really visit the journal.ie for news?
Some say that his buttocks are back to front and he wears aftershave that smells like 10w40 .
But we know him as “The Stig”
Couldn’t be the Stig! Must be the Stink!!
On fairness of you get to drive the best cars in the world why bother forking out shed loads of money on your own. A car which would satisfy his driving ability would be so expensive it wouldn’t be viable.
The owners of those cars usually buy them to show off and pose in
This guy doesn’t need to show off
have your say
