People keep making jokes about this, but in all seriousness he would be a brilliant pick

  • An absolute gent by most accounts
  • Been up and down the country for 50 years, knows a fair bit about "the real Ireland"
  • Gets on well with the Americans
  • Will charm the pants off any foreign leader who meets him
  • Doesn't say loads of mad stuff
  • Free tea afternoons at the Aras

Someone who's good at these things should set up a petition begging DO'D to take the job he was born for.

  1. No political experience.

    Would get destroyed by the first non friendly meeting

  2. He’ll be having affairs with all the grannies in aras an uachtarain…

  3. Is it possible that we could engineer him as president AND while he’s sitting office, smuggle him into Eurovision?

  4. All the local grannies would die of the love and joy.

  6. Absolutely 💯💯💯 lol he genuinely seems like a lovely person 

  7. Honestly…I’d take him over the other potentials.

  8. He’d get destroyed in the polls after all the gas installation scandals surface.

  10. Mario Rosenstock should get the gig and he can turn up as Daniel or Flatley or for another 14 years as Michael D if he likes.

  11. I would vote for him. Probably the least offensive person who could run for it.

  16. Actually, if any mods are around, here’s your option for some sub Reddit fun. Presidential bingo!

  17. I’ve never particularly been a fan of wee Daniel but I found his reaction to Dermot Bannon really relatable when he was on Room To Improve so he might get a preference on my ballot.

  18. Another good point, it’ll stop him making music for 7-14 years!

  21. He video called my granny when she was in hospice. He’s got my vote

  25. Given what the options are so far I’d certainly consider voting for him. 

    Seems like a lovely gentleman.

  26. Jeffrey Donaldson has enough going on at the moment tbf

  28. He won’t fit my boiler! He won’t be my president!

  29. He’s a national treasure

    I’d vote for him over literally any of the names already mentioned in relation to the post

  30. Tbh I’d take this over most of the candidates declared, he’s pretty inoffensive to everybody, although I’d be worried that the grannies would have a collective drain unblocking over it.

  31. I dunno he offered to fix a gas boiler without being RGII certified

  33. Literally had to widen the white section of the flag to fit his ever expanding head.

  35. I was never a fan until I watched the show with him and his wife. What a duo !!!!

  36. Of all the meme candidates this is the best so far. Still a meme.

  38. Given that the president has an important ceremonial role as first citizen, I reckon this wouldn’t be a terrible shout. At the same time what sort of a sane person would subject themselves to the presidential campaign. If there’s absolutely anything in his background, it will be dragged up and who wants that?

  39. Fianna Fail now currently looking into bringing John Delaney into the mix…

  40. You know what?… I don’t have a problem with this. I will take good character over those other 3 chancers any day.

  42. In fairness, he is actually an excellent choice for the job.

  43. My arch nemesis.

    We should just decide the next presidency using a talent-show text-in.
