Used to be on that other site. Used to be in a political party too but not these days. Public servant. Trade Unionist. He/him. Note - I won't follow those posting screenshots of M*sk and T**mp - report on their doings by all means but stop amplifying them

Take the Gavimon approach - gotta catch 'em all! Saw some in Limerick this PM as gaeilge!

Not really surprised that Jim Gavin has withdrawn from #Aras25. Not repaying money is a basic integrity issue. Presidential candidates have to be above anything like that.

I am "looking into" not giving Jim Gavin a preference on polling day! #Aras25

Niall, I used to be a parliamentary assistance and was vetted for the role. Is my private data safe? Is there a risk of it being leaked to you? A response would be appreciated as to how you got information related to the vetting of Oireachtas political staff.

You'd miss #Aras11 on the Twitter machine all the same...

Conclusion - Connolly articulate and thoughtful. Humphries looking for a retirement home. Gavin out of his depth. #Aras25

Cuddihy barking right wing claptrap at the three of them about flags and prisons etc. He was way too aggressive. #TonightVMTV #Aras25

Jim Gavin runs from the questions on Northern Ireland. Out of his depth. #Aras25

Gotta say, Humphries finding her voice on Northern Ireland. #Aras25

Jim say he will take the full salary - big mistake, lack of experience politically. #Aras25

If you voted for Michael D, vote for Connolly. That's it in a nutshell really. #Aras25

I'd say the former.

Apparently they went canvassing today - no prep. Mad decision.

The sad part about that is that for him, in a Dublin City Council run, it would be the easiest thing in the world.

What the plain people of Ireland really want to know about these three candidates is whether they are going to fix the roads... #Aras25

Jim Gavin is miles out of his depth here. He's a decent enough guy, he's just not ready for #Aras25.

We should build a special new prison just for him.

29.09.2025 21:50 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

He'd be elected in a split second and he'd actually be good, too.

I have watched a few NFL games. It's like watching paint dry. It's not even football really. And yes, all US sport is military central, whether it's NFL or the Indy500. #Aras25

Lack of experience, he's not done enough media training and the anchor is pulling him into his nonsense, looking for a banana skin moment.

Is this guy Cuddihy right wing or what? He's basically goading all three candidates into spouting hard right shite. #Aras25
