Beginnings of a new southern Sinn Fein…
One of the things that kind of surprised me was the high rating for Toireasa Ferris in the southern constituency in the Irish Times poll. Bright, young, articulate and (dare I say it, good looking), she is making exactly the kind of waves Sinn Fein needs to create a viable 32 county ‘product’. Harry Magee reports:
If you scan through the policy page of her slick website, its major themes are democratic accountability, jobs, families, communities, public services, rural Ireland. You’ll traipse through at least 500 words before you even reach the only policy area that once mattered for Sinn Féin: the national question.Even then, it is so inoffensive that it would not look out of place in a Fine Gael manifesto: “The peace process has opened the way towards national reconciliation and Irish Unity. I believe we should work towards making a United Ireland a reality by increasing the areas of North-South co-operation.”
I think Tomás Ó Searcaigh is a man to watch, certainely one one the most capable of Sinn Féin’s younger contingent.
yes GGN – but as John the wise asks are his genes sexually attractive (or was it is he sexually attractive i jeans)?
John are you sure you’re not Pat MCabe praticing for a new novel?
Can a politican be attractive?
I would think it would be a turn off?
Faolchu
That was a priceless thread by John O’Connell!
Thanks. I thought it was pretty good myself.

John are you sure you’re not Pat MCabe praticing for a new novel?
I’m pretty sure the last time I checked. But thanks for the compliment.
Any ladies on today to comment on Ó Searcaigh’s looks?!
Ádh mór ar Thomás, tá súil agam go n-éiríonn leis.
Ahhh John, have you read many Pat McCabe books? He writes in the first person, the voice generally being a delusional and highly disturbed individual who has been shat upon by life in some way.
I wouldn’t be taking it as a compliment if i were you mate – but I just find it hard to believe that you can believe your own madness.
In South Dublin last weekend, a few friends commented on the grubbiness and lack of decent (male and female)babes/hunks in Southern Ireland. A few females did admit a thing for Boris Johnson.
None for Cowan, Empey, Robinson, Adams etc. 1 for Cameron. and 1 , inexpicibably, for David Miliband.
SF lowlife weren’t mentioned. Pyjamas and WKD not seen as a good trait there. They did agree though that the Conservative Party was where the female ‘talent’ was top of the tree. As you would expect.
