    1. Oh dear! Sorry Maria, I know you’d like to abort the election, but the law says it must be carried to term.

      Can anyone tell me where this dose came out of? I realize she is / was a solicitor of some sort, but I never heard of her in the public domain like this.

    3. Do these people actually think before they speak? I mean, it’s not like someone spontaneously stuck a microphone under her face when she was walking out of the pub – this was a preplanned media event.

      She thinks if she’s let back in it would be in the bag. (Handbag obvs)

    5. > It has now been further undermined by the dramatic implosion of the Fianna Fáil-backed candidacy of Jim Gavin. As a result, the public is left with very little choice, and a large constituency feels totally unrepresented.

      It’s a staggering level of sanctimonious, regressive ignorance that Steen thinks _she_ represents that unrepresented cohort of voters. Of all people. Though seems on brand a socially conservative type would want to cancel an election – they like that.

      Presumably she was similarly vexed when the immediately previous election was also a two horse race? Something tells me not so much, given she hadn’t tried to run.

      Not sure why a national newspaper is covering the witterings of a failed candidate and someone who doesn’t represent the ideologies of the .majority – though maybe that I clicked the link is its own answer .

    6. She’s going to be standing outside the Aras for the next 7 years like a Burke on steroids

      Well this is unfortunate; not even a failed election candidate, but a failed _prospective_ election candidate is being given national headlines for her senseless ramblings?

      Why is she being given the oxygen of publicity? People, please don’t click on the link before the media decide she’s good for „engagement“.

    8. Person who wasn’t picked for the game of football wants the match to be cancelled

    9. Her bitterness is my nectar of ambrosia. While she cries, i laugh. May she step each morning on lego pieces hidden in her thick Blackrock carpets.

    10. Thanks for your opinion Maria.

      We’ve got Ja Rule on the line next, let’s see what he makes of all this.

      If she cared so much about the election why did she only start campaigning a week before the deadline ?

      Ah look, another gobshite candidate that wants to undermine the constitution to get what they think they deserve.

    13. Of course she does. What a legal mind.
      Wouldn’t it be amazing, if you were a young barrister, to learn from her.

    14. She should have looked for nominations earlier. I’m shocked at the amount of ppl at work that think the establishment is blocking her.

    15. Got to enjoy people high on their own farts making a holy show of themselves.

    16. Would ya look at the sore loser, didn’t even qualify but doesn’t want anyone else winning ~~a medal~~ the election. Well at least she got to show off the handbag again, I suppose.

    17. throwawayeadude on

      It’s been pretty solidly established nobody cares about Maria Steen’s opinion.

    18. Hang on there Maria, youre supposed to be actually on the ballot before you start making Trump like demands

    19. ImpressiveTicket492 on

      This is fucking stupid. Jim Gavin pulling out does not take from the fact that she was unable to get through the process.

    20. Ok_Magazine_3383 on

      Steen helpfully putting forward another reason to consider her unfit for nomination by calling for the unconstitutional cancellation of the election.

    21. RemnantOfSpotOn on

      25 000 euro bag still out and about. To be bonest its not even expensive as she wears it all the time

    22. I miss the Ireland and the person I was where I didn’t know who Maria Steen was (Two months ago)
