"The oh-so-quiet voice of Connolly has won out, while Humphreys was left looking like a frightened 'Winning Streak' contestant"
"It's been a wild few weeks. From Jim Gavin's white trousers, Catherine's astonishing keepy-uppies, Heather's "eh-eh"s to Fianna Fáil's Jim O'Callaghan defending the most lefty candidate for the Áras ever."
"Winning the backing of a Sandymount barrister who looks like he stepped out of a portrait on the wall of the King's Inns wine cellar doesn't exactly scream socialism, but in 2025 anything goes when you're desperate enough."
Connolly's quiet voice won out while Humphreys appeared like a frightened 'Winning Streak' contestant. Recent weeks produced attention-grabbing moments such as Jim Gavin's white trousers, Catherine's impressive keepy-uppies, and Heather's repeated "eh-eh" interjections. Fianna Fáil's Jim O'Callaghan defended an unusually left-leaning Áras candidate. A Sandymount barrister offered backing despite projecting the appearance of someone stepped out of a King's Inns wine cellar portrait. The contrast between image and political positioning underscored unconventional alliances. Momentum heading into 2025 reflected unpredictability and a willingness to embrace unlikely combinations when political actors become desperate.
