Catherine Connolly really doesn’t strike me as a smooth political operator.
When she announced her campaign, it was obvious Gemma would be a key question she would be asked about. She should’ve been prepared to take questions on it but she wasn’t. Whenever she was asked about it, she gave some wishy washy answer like “it was a long time ago” etc.
She could’ve easily explained it away there and then, but didn’t and it’s following her throughout the campaign.

Why would you nominate someone you don’t support?

Michael D nominated David Norris iirc, so a nomination and an endorsement aren’t the same (Higgins was endorsing himself, naturally). Whether it was right to nominate O’Doherty is another question.

>Ms Connolly said that she “can’t remember” if she was aware in 2018 that Ms O’Doherty had given an interview shortly beforehand in which she said that there were questions around the safety of the HPV vaccine.
Goodness.
Imagine the outrage we’d see on this sub if it were Gareth Sheridan/Bertie who supported Gemma. Yet when it’s Connolly, everyone here bends over backwards to find excuses.

Campaign all but over after that car crash interview. She didnt support Assad but met his representatives. She didnt aupport O’Doherty but nominated her.
Time to end the campaign before hundreds of thousands of Euro is flushed down the drain by Labour, the Soc Dems and PBP. She isn’t a member of any of them so they are throwing away badly needed money for other elections on a woman who has zero respect for them and even less chance of winning after today.

The fact that she’s supported by Paul Murphy was reason enough to not consider voting for her, but every time she opens her mouth she strengthens the case

Haven’t heard Gemma’s name in a while. What’s her latest crusade?

Can we not just cut out all this nonsense and appoint Michael D president-for-life
