A baby, adolescent or man of honour?

GEORGIE, Georgie, said goodbye, quit his seat and made them cry.

Well, not quite. Plenty of people at the Dundrum shopping centre in the heart of the Dublin South constituency were angry with George Lee’s decision to resign his seat, but many others backed his move.

Maureen and Felix Fanning, from Rathfarnham, were firmly in the George camp. They had voted for Fianna Fáil until last year’s by-election, when Lee’s star power caused them to switch to Fine Gael.
