- Replying to @JohnOBrennan2For a professor, you are entertainingly intemperate. When we vote, we choose from imperfect candidates. Like @Glenna_lynch I too will vote @Niall_Boylan #1. Have we got rid of the influence in our politics of one set of Maynooth-based worthies only to replace it with another?
