Watching the Iona cronies and the far right go for Michael McDowell for not nominating #MariaSteen is fascinating stuff. It’s so toxic.

I can completely understand why some TDs, Senators and councillors chose to stay well away from her campaign.

She really hasn’t done herself any favours at all. Politicians would be v slow to go near them again in any future campaigns.

#MariaSteen had four years - four years to prepare for candidacy for the role of President of Ireland. Instead, she waited until four weeks to attempt to get a nomination. Blaming the constitution is not only wrong, it's naive. I've no doubt her Holy Joe politics would have seen her thrashed in the voting anyway. Ireland is a modern democracy who does not tolerate Catholic facism.
