Keen supporter: ‘Vote for Mary? I’d marry her if I could’

IF Gerald Griffin had his way, presidential candidate Mary Davis would become the third Mary to occupy Áras an Uachtaráin.

“That would mean we would have had three Hail Marys as president and then it would be time for an Our Father.”

Gerald, from Blackrock in Cork, was only half joking but he is deadly serious about his support for Ms Davis. He believes that the polls — which currently show her at 11% — do an injustice to her abilities.
