I am not a Labour party supporter however I believe Michael D is a true states man and would do Ireland proud I encourage all who see this comment to vote for him today!!
The voice of integrity , the voice of intelligence and wisdom , I hope the Irish people can see the potential for good that this great little human being can achieve in the office of the presidency , he has more fire in him at 70 than most people who are still only in their 20's
Anyone else having difficulty looking at the video? Its stopping and starting very often. I have a decent broadband connection. All else seems to be working well too.
@passivebuild Just so you know, different people receive YouTube videos through different sets of servers at Google. It sometimes takes a while for a given video to propagate fully to all of these servers; so some people will see it smoothly while some will see it less so. A popular video eventually ends up on all the server sets, but this can take a few days or more.
Phew... I thought the song in the background was going to be that 'Forever Young' shit for a minute. Thank god it wasn't.

the Labour Party are a right wing fascist sect of scum - they'll go the way of the P.D's sooner the better.

@coryoronno 'seriously, do not reproduce' there's my point - far right rhetoric pretty much as the Nazi party like things as I remembered.

Thank God for Higgins and not that snake Gallagher. Considering he's from Dragons Den on his behalf i'll say "He's out".
