Simons is a "mother of five" - why should we care?

[mccafferty cat]

Maybe she feels a little bit short of personal achievements relevant to the job so she is resorting to listing other significant personal achievements which while not directly relevant may still resonate with those who might employ her

Yes, that's true. "Legal advisor to the Pro-Life campaign" is not a tremendously appealing line on a CV.

Then again, neither will "Libertas" when their paid monkeys start sending out their CVs at the end of June

Perhaps she is proud of her role as a mother.

That's grand but why should her electorate care? She puts it forward - twice - as the main reason to vote for her. And she emphasises the number of children as well, as if this has any relevance whatsoever.

If we're going to elect officials based solely on their fecundity, there's no need for elections; let's form the Dail from the women with the highest number of children.

Well its by far and away the best reason that I have been given to vote Libertas!

Immaculate conceptions all. You have to read between the lines.

Kind of reminds me of Marge Simpson's CV: "Homemaker (1980 to present);"

Brian is a champion tiddly winks players and a solicitor. He enjoys windy walks and soft rock music. Today Brian is an Taoiseach.

Eamon likes swimming and the cool side of the pillow. He likes nothing better than a good book on a stormy day and hates it when his cereal goes soggy. Today Eamon is the leader of the Labour Party.

More random, pointless personal information that should appear on politicians leaflets.

Is one of the spawn called Trip by any chance?

It is to prove she is not aborting I guess.

now the lie in there is that she teaches part time in Blackhall place she is not a solicitor ie she does has no practice other than advising the pro Life group. I stood near her last week and was tempted to do something but hey I am a gentleman

Enda, a solitary Virgo, likes long walks on the beach in his native Mayo. All-County bridge champion four years running, he divides his time between toad farming and being leader of the nation's largest opposition party.

Odd, since it doesn't even prove that; many women with large families have had abortions for either medical reasons or simply when they were young and unmarried.
