Do you think Mary Lou McDonald, as a good-looking young female candidate got her extra votes?

Do you think Mary Lou McDonald would still have received as many votes if she wasn't a young good-looking female candidate?
I think the good-looking bit is an exaggeration - maybe in comparison to Royston....

I don't think she would've recieved any votes if people had been forced to watch her on Questions & Answers a few weeks before the election. Mind you O'Donoghue made her look good the other night....

good-looking young female candidate

i'm fairly sure Mary-Lou's female, not sure any of the rest is an accurate description

personally I think it was her distinguished history as a 'peace negotiator' that got her in :rolleyes:

Ah now, she's better looking than Lorraine Keane who everyone raves about (got some tits for starters!)...

Basically this is because we come from a land starved of decent looking women. I was in Prague at the weekend on a stag-do, and practically every single czech girl under 40 was amazing looking. We have allowed ourselves to even consider that below-average birds that get their mugs on the box are good looking.
That Sharon Ni Bheolain is a bit of alright, and Lisa Burke, the sky weather girl is mighty fine too. Amanda Byram had her moments, but unfortunately there is a large population out there that consider the Ann Doyles, Miriam O'Callaghans andMary Kennedys of this world extremely shaggable.Come on lads...please!!!

Definitely agreed there. If FF wanted to take on SF then bad mood putting up grumpy old man against young woman.

I think that's Claire Byrne? Used to present Ireland AM and was previosly a newscaster on Channel 5.

As for Mary Lou she's not good looking, she comes accross as a bit of an idiot and she's representing Sinn Fein/IRA. I can't understand why anyone would vote for her!!

Just to clarify -I was saying that she is good looking compared to other candidates. If you look at all the other posters I think she would have to be the best looking female candidate.

Have to agree with Colm in not being able to comprehend why people in the Republic vote for Sinn Fein. Having that said I like the idea of an Ireland of equals, but would certainly hate to see Sinn Fein's traditional methods of 'Equalising' put into practice in the Republic or anywhere else.

That's right, I'm a member of the DUP simply because I can see that Sinn Fein and the IRA are basically the one organisation. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Anyone think Gerry Adams will ever admit to being a member if not actual leader of the IRA?

Surely zero chance of becoming leader of SF without at least serving his time in the IRA?

She Clare's alright but this new one has a thinner face. Looks like a girl out of hollyoaks (I live with me girlfriend, its on, I don't have to be ashamed of anything...)

Maybe Adams should read Secret History of the IRA, just to clear any doubts he has to his involvement with the RA.

Yes, but people down south tend to have a more open minded, considered opinion on the activities of Mr Adams et al....

Whats he got to hide? McGuinness has admitted to his past & doesn't seem to do him any harm.

Exactly, why would he hide it if he was ! Not everyone in Sinn Fein was involved in the army. Your either into politics or fighting a war.

the other blonde news reader on TV3 is Aishling O'Loughlan. But for good looking women on irish telly it has to be the weather girls on TG4.

Read the aforementioned book, and then say he wasn't in the IRA. It's bizarre that he denies it....

Never mind that in the 70's when he was in jail writting under the pen name Brownie he admitted that he was in the Provisional IRA. Young Gerry Adams didnt have the foresight not to blow his "cover".

Does anyone here honestly believe that he isnt/wasnt in the Provisional IRA.

HOT STUFF!! ;) ;)
