    Bacik Dublin South ?

    Any thoughts on where Ivana Bacik will run for Labour. Smart money is on Dublin South or maybe Dun Laoghaire now that Niamh B has declared she wont run?

    She'd wanna get round to it soon both Cllr Whyte & Cllr Culhane are well established. White has even rented an office in Rathfarnham Culhane topped the poll in Dundrum. If she ran she'd win a seat

    Dun Laoghaire seems the most likely option at the moment.
    Dublin South, remember the tally got a very high percentage of the vote, higher than the 5,000 odd Eithne Fitzgerald got in 2002.

    Then again, does she even want to run?
    The word 'politics' is derived from the word 'poly', meaning 'many', and the word 'ticks', meaning 'blood sucking parasites

    Wherever it is, Fiona O'Malley will probably be out canvassing for her

    Is Bertie not the most cunning of them all?

    Of course she ll run.

    I agree Dun Laoghaire is her best option,based on tallies in European Election.

    Dublin South is tailor-made for Ms Bacik IMO. Plenty of champagne socialists to be seen to espouse her cultural Marxist agenda at dinner parties.

    No wonder the working- classes are resorting to consumerism, who can blame them for despairing of the political classes !

    Probably not, if she's running in a constituency with a PD challenger.

    I know you're sore about the European Elections, but if your party had bothered their collective arse to run a candidate in Dublin, you might have some justification for your bitterness. But, as they didn't, you don't.

    I just think it's distasteful that Fiona O'Malley, a member of my party, could support a woman who stands for the opposite of what most PDs represent.

    Besides economic issues, where's the great contradiction between the views of Bacik and those of Fiona O'Malley?
