    Nice guy, had a chat with him at one of the right2water protests. I do think there are better candidates available to SF mind, has Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin ruled himself out?

    (Actually, could you imagine if SF forwarded their anti-corruption stance by backing Gemma O’Doherty? Talk about SF throwing the cat among the pigeons!)

    @The Risen: If someone like Caoimhghin was on the ballot it would give me a tough choice, as I admire him.

    One dilemma is it would potentially dilute the vote. SF backing Gemma may be their best option but do they have motive to do so?
