Well lads and lassies? Any thoughts on who could win in both city and county mayoral elections?
Someone from the Opposition would have to be favoured, given FG/Lab scored 33% last time to FF-PD's 15%. A lot will depend on where the Indo vote goes. I think Hillary Quinlan might get it as FG's most popular cllr in the city in 2004, or else maybe Seamus Ryan, as that of Labour in 2004.
Directly elected mayor is this going to happen??
All above mentioned have been mayor before, why not give it to one of the younger crew, Cullinane or maybe even Halligan
Why not break it up into 3 terms!! Poll topper in each ward becomes mayor over the 5 years
or the longest serving?
Davy Walsh (Workers Party) on Waterford City Council for 29 years but denied chance to become Mayor because he's not in the cosy club.
yeah and pigs do fly!!
davy walsh mayor, our having a laugh!!
a choke chain u would want to put around of his fat neck!!
Would a directly elected Mayor have to come from the ranks of the Cllr's?
Could any elected representative be elected ie TD, Sen.?
Could a member of the public be elected?
I would have thought it would be open for anyone to run but the political parties would dominate.
Maybe a member of the business community would run?

"Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest." Mark Twain
“When a government is dependent upon bankers for money, they and not the leaders of the government control the situation, since the hand that gives is above the hand that takes. Money has no motherland; financiers are without patriotism and without decency; their sole object is gain.” Napoléon Bonaparte
IMHO it depends on the format of the election ie pr or maybe run off.
And also who is running naturally.
I don't think SF have enough votes to get a directly elected mayor.
It would seem more likely that a FG/Lab voting pact would have it sown up.
