Sir, – I wonder if the people of Ireland would like an ordinary Joe Soap as president.
Somebody like me, for instance.
I am not well known. I am not a member of any party. My achievements in life are extremely modest. I am not very articulate. I can’t write for nuts.
I have no grand messages for the people of Ireland. I am neither rich nor poor, though closer to poor.
I can’t imagine anything I would do or say as president would offend any ordinary person like myself.
I would continue to live in my modest home. The Áras could be converted into apartments for poor people. And 90 per cent of my salary would go to community groups.
I would receive foreign dignitaries in my home as I receive all guests and visitors (I make a mean lemon cake).
Don’t all trample over each other in your rush to nominate me. – Yours, etc,
TOM KELLY,
Broadstone,
Dublin 7.
