I'm totally delighted that my local #WestCork TD #HollyCairns is set to be the new leader of the #SocDems. I know Holly to be a genuinely ethical individual who gets it. Even though I don't support the idea of a party based political system (is having a competition for who gets to run the country actually a good idea?) I think that Holly brings something new and fresh to #Irish #Politics, and I wish her every success. I wonder is she our #Jacinda or #Nicola?

Well, today has been a mad day to be a member of #SocDems. My WhatsApp is on fire.
Interesting to see Catherine Murphy & Roisín Shorthall claim in their #SocDems statement that they’ve lead the party “to great success”.
It’s currently polling at only 2%. Hardly a purple wave.
They lost a lot of support and respect with their disgraceful handling of the Owen Hanley debacle.
It’s astonishing they’ve managed to hang on this long tbh.
Took my bike to the train station to get the train to Limerick to meet some of my #SocDems pals today. My initial instinct was to drive, but decided to try the public transport option. Under 50 euro return from Dublin. A good way to travel, would recommend - only gripe is that there’s no tea trolley!
