Humphreys had quit politics before FG picked her for a disastrous run for the Aras. Who are they going to pick for the by-election? Someone who had announced they were quitting politics, of course. 🍿

Five days before she formally declared for #Aras25... my most prescient foresight since I said there was "something a bit off about that Savile fella". #catherineconnolly

When you're quietly bitching at the funeral of someone who was a total bollocks.

TRUMP: “They say you’re the third best president... Third best. And they said, who are the first two? George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. And I got extremely angry at this man." “It’s going to be very tough to beat Washington and Lincoln. But we’re going to give it a try,

Interesting language. Did bailiffs evict families from their homes on foot of court actions by her credit union? Or did the execution of judgement mortgages force the sale of family homes to repay loans to her CU? That's not repossession but it renders someone homeless.
Heather never evicted a family from their home. Fact.

Heather Humphreys was questioned by reporters today over the credit union that she formerly managed taking legal proceedings over loan defaulting during the time that she was manager. https://t.co/nHDH94xxqv

Fine Gael are on a dangerous path if they start to weaponise litigation history of Oireachtas lawyers against them. For example, representing a dictator with a dismal human rights record.

She may have represented banks as a barrister, but at least she didn't represent a senator who was fined €1,850 for repeatedly driving without tax, was pursued by a plumber over a €12k bill to fit a jacuzzi too big for her house, and fined €100 for not having a train ticket.
This is worrying, Catherine needs to clarify this #homeRepossessions

Whoever is doing comms for the Humphreys campaign has not just monumentally screwed up this election, but has irreparably damaged the party for future elections. It's quite a feat. #Aras25

Some of the judgement mortgages secured against borrowers of Cootehill Credit Union when @HeatherH was manager. Did it repossess homes when borrowers couldn't repay loans?

Someone with 0 grasp of public opinion is running FG's campaign. FG have tied themselves to FF, who many blame for the crash, so this will be deemed ironic. People are voting Catherine as they're desperate for a Gov alternative. This mobilizes the base, it won't win undecideds.

This is grim and should be beneath a mainstream political party.

Hardly a resounding endorsement - Daniel said he'd probably vote for Humphreys but is sorry there isn't more choice on the ballot paper, and the election should have been cancelled after Jim Gavin withdrew.
Thank you to Irish legend Daniel O’Donnell for his support. I am humbled by the support I am receiving from across the country. Six days to go. 🇮🇪 https://t.co/e4uG9caC8q

From a distance, it looks like a business card you'd find in a telephone box.

Just when the Humphreys campaign thought things couldn't get any worse, she gets the endorsement of the Burke family. #Aras25
BREAKING: Enoch Burke attacked by Catherine Connolly supporters in Limerick City. There is only one way to prevent Catherine Connolly becoming the 10th President of Ireland. Do not spoil your vote on Friday. We urge people to vote for the other candidate, Heather Humphreys. A

Bad sign that the Humphreys campaign is now using the future conditional "as president, I would", whereas it was "as president, I will" three days ago. #Aras25
