828.1MACNAS::DKEATINGEamon Dunphy for President!Fri Nov 09 1990 04:467
    It's not official yet,Mick...but it looks almost 99% certain that
    Mary Robinson will win on the strength of Austin Currie's x-fers!

    As Snake said earlier "Democracy is a funny ol' Game" and the people
    of Ireland are well capable of making the 'right' decision.

    Hi Mick,
    
    That was after a bit of "Mature reflection" by the electorate
    you know. Power to the people!!
    
    If Mrs R is true to some of her pre-election speak, could be that
    at least some of us ex-pats might have some influence on future
    (Presidential or General??) elections....
    
    Sean

    week commencing 13th.....

    Hows it going Sean!
    
    Fairly surprising result re expectations a few months ago. It got alot
    of coverage on German/Swiss TV here. Basically they reckon its a big
    step forward for Ireland and a big change from a "very catholic
    controlled and Conservative" country. She was constantly refered to as 
    the left canditate...refered to on french actually as "Mary La Rouge"
    
    ..Munich 13th Jan...The date is written down..Will see you for sure
    ..theres a few more new places......-) -) -)

828.4HmmmmmmmmTRIBES::CREANPsst! Wanna buy a computer company?Mon Nov 12 1990 12:118
    
    Well, Mary Robinson was elected President and Cathal Daly was made
    archbishop of Armagh (in succession to the late Cardinal O Fiaich)
    within a few daye of each other.
    
    Both events were greated with rapture by the British Government
    and by the London gutter press.
