Humphreys' team are rolling out the big guns!  ‘I wouldn’t run for the Áras — why would you put yourself forward for that abuse?’ says Daniel O’Donnell as he reveals who has his vote (Indo, paywall)

Quote
Singer Daniel O’Donnell says he will be voting for Heather Humphreys on Friday next, but laments that the presidential race does not offer a greater choice to the electorate.  O’Donnell also said that he would have been “happy” to see the race cancelled after Fianna Fáil candidate Jim Gavin withdrew from campaigning.

“I’ll be voting for Heather Humphreys, yes, probably,” he told the Sunday Independent, speaking from his home in Kincasslagh, Co Donegal, yesterday.  “I don’t know anything personally about either of them — but I suppose I just feel that Heather represents more of what I think.

Faint praise indeed but I guess Humphreys will take any at this stage...

Comments by Humphreys a 'new low', says Connolly

Quote
The independent presidential candidate Catherine Connolly has described as "a new low" comments by her Fine Gael opponent for the role, Heather Humphreys in a newspaper interview, that she had tried to make money out of people's misfortune by representing banks in home repossession cases during the property crash.

What did Heather Humphreys do for Shane O'Farrell's family?

Quote
One of the key questions put to Fine Gael presidential candidate Heather Humphreys throughout her campaign has been about the level of support she offered to the family of hit-and-run victim Shane O'Farrell in their years-long bid for justice.

In the unlikely event that Jim wins he'd have to refuse the seal of office to instigate another election, erm. There's nothing in law requiring anyone who's democratically elected to refuse the seal of office.

Only spoken with a couple of men who claimed to know him personally. Neither held him in particularly high regard.... both working class northsiders though.
