"I doubt he will get the nominations to be on the ballot paper" Hopefully not. It would be an embarrassment. Who can make nominations, apart from the political parties? | |||

He was not convicted, some seriously dumb people in those thread. | |||

"I remember the talk and news coverage in the runup to the 2020 us presidential election, and all the commentators saying that Donald wouldn't get even get the nomination, and then that he didn't have a chance in the election. Be warned!" This exactly. I remember Sarah McInerney on Newstalk with a bunch of talking heads. I like her, but the show was terrible. All of them just agreeing with each other on everything. They spent months laughing at Trump and then years giving out about him, after he got elected! He can put a lot of money into this if he really wants to. Don't be too surprised if he gets the Oireachtas or council numbers he needs. | |||

"He hasn’t a clue of the Presidents job never mind the actual process!! There’s no way he will he even get on the ballot there’s no council that would endorse him" He doesn't need to know the process, the people who advise and manage him will do all that. People need to stop believing that he manages his own affairs, he'd be broke long ago if so! | |||

"There’s 2 routes to getting on the ballot paper 1. Signatures of 20 oireachtas members - he might get a handful, highly unlikely to find 20 to back him. 2. Backing of 4 local authorities - vast majority of local authorities are FF/FG majorities and the most of the rest are SF/Labour/SD majorities. Highly unlikely he’d find 4 to back him. I think it’s fairly safe to say he won’t get on the ballot paper but we are facing 6 months of nonsense from him and interference from foreign backers of his. " Given his considerable wealth is it in the realms of possibility he may promise financial support to the election campaigns of various independents in return for their backing ? | |||

" 👆This is how to be nominated and he won’t find twenty members coz they won’t want to be associated with him and the local councils will back their own party candidate, so he won’t get on the ballot. So think we are safe. | |||

" It will be interesting to see what his management team do. I think they will go after the councils. There are 31 Local Authorities, he only needs 4. As far as I'm aware, they can nominate more than one candidate each. Expect a whole load of the typical noise around "free speech" "what are they scared of", and other attempts to apply pressure. Also, does anybody know how many councillors need to vote in each authority? Is there a quota on it?...If not, then local councillors can expect lots of heat to vote for him or abstain. If he is serious about this, then efforts will be made to have a real go at it...brace yourselves. | |||

"Love him or hate him let’s be honest He is the ultimate promoter and is well aware of how to get things done. Realistically he knows he probably won’t win but he will have the whole country talking about him and will get air time. And will be able to talk about these issues front and centre, the media for all they hate him never stop talking about him so his points of view and stuff he’s trying to get out there will be out for all to see and not just people who follow him on social media. That’s what’s happening here people" I don't think the media will allow him to voice his opinions on the airwaves for fear of losing their listenerships. | |||

"Lowery , fucking prick with ears corrupt to the eyeballs, named and shamed, and continuously re-elected. If that bag of shite can be in positions of power in this country then anyone can, if any one of you think that the machine can't get McGregor in power, then you are only reading the stuff you agree with. As scary as it is , there are a lot of people in this country that are agreeing with what he is saying. All of Europe is on tilt , the blind following of equity for the sake of it, is throwing up some serious dirt now. If you are not left ,you are considered far right, agree with me or not. There are so many sides , not yours and mine. I really hope a virtuous contender appears to actually run for president. I remember that the last guy only got in due to a smear campaign by someone on the Dragons Den bald dude, abd then re-elected, but no one cared about the wee bollox. Nothing is impossible. " The Gallagher brown envelope debate was box office too | |||

"There surely be some regulation for anyone wishing to put their forward for presidency that if they had a particular conviction his being sexual assault he wouldn’t be allowed to put his name forward ? " He has no sexual assault convictions. He was found liable in civil court after the DPP reviewed the case twice and said there was no grounds for a criminal trial. I'm not saying he's innocent but that is a fact. | |||

The council route would probably be easier than the oireachteas. If people find out their local councillors have a vote on this, I hope there's serious backlash. | |||

I'm not saying it applies here, I don't know if he's guilty or not but that has happened before. Look up Eleanor Williams and Crystal Mangum. They're outliers but we can't act like it doesn't or hasn't happened before. The biggest issue which nobody is discussing is the conviction rate in these cases which I think is as low as 1% so genuine victims can't get justice as it is so when you get the few outliers like the girls I mentoined above, they get the media headlines and it feeds the narrative of "she's only looking for money" in a society that already favours the man as backed up by such low conviction rates and how little impact these accusations have on celebrities especially. | |||

The biggest issue which nobody is discussing is the conviction rate in these cases which I think is as low as 1% so genuine victims can't get justice as it is so when you get the few outliers like the girls I mentoined above, they get the media headlines and it feeds the narrative of "she's only looking for money" in a society that already favours the man as backed up by such low conviction rates and how little impact these accusations have on celebrities especially. " I think the DPP are useless at their jobs. I know of at least 5 grape cases in the area and 4 that never got to court because they calmed that there wasn't enough evidence in the cases. The 1 case that made it to court was thrown out because the local garda sergeant that coached the local gaa team was his character witness and with all the evidence against him. The case was thrown out. Another 1 of them cases after a few hours of interrogation the lad accused of gr@pe. Admitted what happened but said it was consensual. The DPP decided not too go ahead with that case even with all the evidence they had. | |||

"I don't really have an opinion on the civil case and would question what was going on and if it would have happened if McGregor was a plumber. No one comes out clean in this. I don't believe their is one fan boy of McGregor on here in the comments, but they are putting more blame on to the lady than some others. The whole thing is shady as hell, dark, dirty and with no class The lady in question didn't have a whole lot of respect for herself, and the two guys definitely didn't have any respect for her either. Just so I'm clear, I don't condone any of this . Do you really think a woman would put herself through all they have to, for the hell of it. And if a woman is ra×ed, as in this case, do you think they only report it to get money from the rap×ist?? Jesus." Hell hath no fury ,who knows what one person is motivated by? Grouping all people of one sex together is impossible and what one lady night value another will despise. No one wins on these situations, but Jesus , don't actively seek them. Who in their right mind goes off with an arse hole like McGregor to a hotel room ? It certainly gives him no right to presume anything except company, but who is that naive? These assholes think the world is theirs. I suppose lots of people doubt the "facts", of what happened. I for one would actually question the reasoning behind the whole situation. Shoot me , block me , it's who I am . | |||

"There surely be some regulation for anyone wishing to put their forward for presidency that if they had a particular conviction his being sexual assault he wouldn’t be allowed to put his name forward ? To my knowledge, and I could be wrong, he's never been convicted of sexual assault. Fair play, you are the only person with the balls to say it. He was not convicted, some seriously dumb people in those thread. " I believe you are correct on that. I would not be a fan of his or his persona for a long time. But he would probably be a better option than Bertie who has previously floated the idea of running for president. The country is going down the toilet and anyone who can not see that is blind or choosing to ignore it. But the president can not make any meaningful changes anyway. | |||

"Really love or hate him he is speaking the truth what everyone is thinking in Ireland at the moment and rapist?? There are three sides to that story bit like the rugby players up the North a few years ago 🤔"Lol, "what everyone is thinking"
I'm not even sure what "running ravage on the country" even means.
Also, he considers you a foreigner as well, even though he's from an immigrant family himself. He also thinks he can call a referendum when he becomes president 🤦
You couldn't make this shit up. | |||

"Imagine being as thick as McGregor, thinking by becoming president of Ireland he will be able to change everything going on in Ireland in a position that holds zero power in Ireland. And the people supporting him are just as thick as him. A goldfish has more brain's than him and his supporters." He doesn't care about changing anything. But for the people who will back him (financially from the shadows) it wouldn't be a meaningless position. | |||

It's obvious where it's going when he makes no attempt to run. It will be because of "the elites" " the corruption" and whatever other buzzwords you like. He has more than enough money to put together a team to work and lobby for votes to run, if he wanted to. But he has no intention." not a hope of every getting nomination.

".His resources wouldn't get him the nomination" 100% accurate. He has to be nominated by people that will need to get re-elected, its political suicide for them to nominate a rapist. | |||

"He got found out for what he is. Its astounding what people believe the President of Ireland does.. smile and shake hands? When laws are being voted in by government our last defence bar a referendum is the president, albeit he can also get overruled by a vote. Laws are signed in by the president also. That little gobshite we currently have in place has done harm to the people, look up the laws he has signed in during his terms. What we need is a strong individual that supports the native people of the island and the preservation of our heritage. Mcraper certainly isn't that person!" The president has no real power to prevent laws from coming into force. The president can refuse to sign a bill into law if he/she believes it to be unconstitutional. In that case the bill will be sent to the Supreme Court to be tested. If the Supreme Court finds it to be constitutional then it becomes law and it can never be challenged again. I can only recall that happening twice in my lifetime, and possibly only twice in the history of the office of president. The first was when Cearbhaill Ó Dálaigh refused tó sign a bill, was lambasted by a government minister and resigned when the minister wasn't disciplined by the Taoiseach. The second was when Mary Robinson sent a bill to the Supreme Court. The president has no power to call a referendum and refusing to sign a bill into law doesn't result in a referendum unless the Supreme Court decides that the bill in question requires the constitution to be altered in some way. | |||
