Cllr. John Foley. T.C. and Cllr. Noel Bourke. M.C.C. are milking this for everything its worth both locally and nationally.
I was talking to Stephen Mather last night at a funeral in Tullamore, who is abit embarrassed about the whole thing (
the Manny Quinn character). He said that he and his father (man with no tie beside him) were trying to leave their seats when D.D.P. stood in front of them and a crowd gathered behind so they had to stay where they were (D.D.P. was standing on a metal box apparently). Said it was very uncomfortable as the crowd were pushing (he was lucky he didn't get thrown down in front of D.D.P.) and the lights were shining directly into his face and he couldn't look up. Altough he's fairly happy with the fact that alot of people in his area where he's trying to get on the ticket for the locals have noticed him.
Otherwise most of these guys bent over backwards to get their mugs on "da telly", and are probably delighted with all the attention their getting. No such thing as bad publicity and all that. So I wouldn't worry to much about slagging them off.
Seriously funny tough!!!
Tubridy might do something on it tonight, as he was giving out about it on the radio the other day.
