    Sinn Fein Nomination for President in '11

    One question - Will Sinn Fein be nominating anyone for the presidency for 2011?

    If they are, who will they nominate? Arthur Morgan maybe?

    They couldn't possibly get the support. They've only 5 oireachtas members when 20 is required.

    It is a non-issue. They can't. They would need 20 TDs and senators, or control of four councils, to nominate a candidate. They have neither, and so cannot nominate a candidate.

    That issue is dead.
    All views expressed are my own.

    I think today was the first time I ever heard him being interviewed, as distinct from just saying a piece to camera. It was at lunchtime on RTE radio 1 and quite honestly he was dreadful. Even MLM is better than that.
