McGuinness for President? - Danny Morrisson on RTÉ with Pat Kenny

[99howitzer]

@ciaranbrk I trust the Irish people to have the sense not to vote for a terrorist as their president, people in the north had no choice but to share power with the IRA, in the south they do.

[ciaranbrk]

Terrorist why because he was sick of been treated as a second class citizens like the rest of the Catholics up north. Its simple treat people like shit they fight back he has been at the front of the peace process for so many years we all change with age.

[jonoessex]

@ciaranbrk No, terrorist because he tried to violently overthrow the state instead of peacefully reforming it.

[99howitzer]

I just hope the Irish people have more sense than to vote for a former terrorist murderer as their president

[superhoops2432]

Watched the last debate tonight on RTE TV and McGuinness and Norris were the most lively with Gay Mitchell exploding at the end of the program and shown that his temperament was suspect.Presidential polls of Sean Gallagher was shown up by questions from the media,audience and other presidential candidates about fund raising for a prominent party he was member of had come back to haunt him.Election may be closer than people think who ever wins.

[99howitzer]

Republic image will really be in the gutter if they vote for this thing as president! Lol

[fairhillnorrie]

Martin for me.. state media are corrupt.. the past is over, we have peace....

[1mraware]

our narcissistic up their own hole media criticize him. why not stand by a man who has turned one of the most gritty and bloody conflicts in the world, into the pillar of all peace processes. if the unionists can acknowledge and welcome his presence, why the heck cant these Muppet's respect him. what, are we afraid he wont get on his knees in front of the queen like that PLANK Bertie.

the Irish times define irony, they heckle him, yet call Sean Cronin "a man who deserves respect and honour".

@Che870 stupefied,petrified,of you! besides the fact that you have actually said nothing!

[limerick321]

Che870 I presume the only thing that doesn't bore a shinner like yourself is loud explosions!

[Che870]

@limerick321 i persume you where too afraid to reply to me ;---) no need for that

[mscmk1]

Definitely the best candidate for the presidential race. He has been doing so much for the Irish people, and is willing to work on the basic salary. Instead of being greedy like the other money hungry candidates ( except for Sean Gallagher)

[seanniee137]

Good old Danny.Martin for President..

[limerick321]

regardless of the complexities of N Ireland, if martin is elected, people will constantly be confronting the president of Ireland with the pictures of the dead and missing.Martin should be respected for his role in the peace process, but if we vote him in we will look like some rogue state/banana republic.

[Che870]

@limerick321 YYYAAAWWNNN :-) got any more spam to bore us all with ?

[rez27DR]

Sinn Fein ignore human rights? Are you Irish ? He should be made president just going on the fact that the others are donkeys, this man has fought for the Irish cause his hole life

[patriciamccafferty]

Sinn Fein ignore Human Rights Act as their SF representive in Bundoran Michael McMahon illegally BANS member of the public from further Council meetings. I believe this reflects bad now on the Sinn Fein party. Shame on Cllr. Michael McMahon for disgracing Sinn Fein.
