Aras of Tralee double act for President

Daithi & Kathryn perfect for the job

- 

THE campaign starts here: Daithi and Kathryn Thomas for Presidents.

Ceremonial. Past the sell by date. In need of reform or putting out of misery. That's what some say about the Rose of Tralee.

That’s what some say about the Rose of Aras an Uachtarain too. One of the best things about the Irish Presidency is that it’s funny how Aras sounds a bit like “arse”.

Uachtarain sounds a bit like “uachtar reoite” too - those two words and “milsean” being the only ones in Irish that made children smile unless spoken by someone sinister.

IDIOT

After that, my uses for a President fade into the distance like Michael D shuffling down the Croke Park tunnel.
