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

He's a great media personality though. He has a lot of presence.

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.

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.
