I'm hoping for a good old-fashioned Paddy Hillary style presidency....no more delaying rugby games, offending people or purporting to speak for the Irish people on what we consider "abhorrent"

Your picture is great but of Stormont were the Government of N.Ireland sits. The Irish President resides somewhere in Phonix Park Dublin.

Don't worry i hardly understand it and i have lived here all my life

That's awkward. First we have Ireland in the UK, now Stormont as the Irish President's official residence. Is the picture right now? (Google Images had the other one labelled as the White House too. Some joker, like as not.)

Being called Mary certainly seems to help. Three of the candidates last time around were called Mary too, if I remember correctly!
