In this morning Irish Independent, it is reported that Independent Senator Louise O’Donnell says people trying to canvass for consensus on getting 20 Oireachtas nominations for the Presidency should ” mind their own business ” particularly targeting Independent TD Micheal Fitzmaurice, apparently somewhat peeved that he has had the cheek to have written to her on the issue! Senator Louise O’ Donnell’s somewhat glib comments, leads one to wonder exactly what her beliefs are, concerning what she thinks a public representative’s business and functions are in the democratic process! This certainly gives an insight into the contemptuous disregard in which a large number of supposed public representatives hold the general electorate!
