FOLLOWING RECENT NEWS linking both Eamon Dunphy and Micheál Ó Muircheartaigh to bids for the Irish presidency, the idea of sports personalities spending a few years in the Oireachtas currently appears to be in vogue.
With that in mind, we’ve come up with eight other people for newspapers to ring up and randomly ask if they’re going for the job…
Pat Spillane
John Giles
Roy Keane
George Hook
John Hayes
Darren Clarke
Anthony Daly
Joey Barton
What about Jean Byrne? Or that little rat Sean Dundon? What about John Gilligan? Why not Fingers Fingleton? Bertie? Any more gobshites out there who want to join the lists??
Eddie Jordan would do a better job than any of those, and he’s the sort who could sell sand to the Arabs.
How come no one’s mentioned Dustin, has he died, not like him to stay quiet and not make a bigger joke of the race for the Aras than the politicians are doing!!!
Spillane?? …nah…Joe Brolly would be better….far more “controversial” and a legal background to boot….far more suited than Jackie healy rays love child spillane!!!!
i think that we should put willie joe padden up for the job of presidency folks
he wouldnt get the galway vote!!!
