Another dynastical wannabe. Just because the brother was taoiseach and the father was a politician, we should vote for you? Why exactly?
No votes from me because:
1. You’re FF
2. You come from a political family. What this country needs is fresh blood, not people who have had their nose in the trough for generations.
3. I know nothing about you, but I heard you on Morning Ireland a few weeks ago, and in my opinion, you are just another FF gombeen man.
