Cynical outrage over self-promoter Duffy seeking to challenge for Áras

The double standards and discomfort of Michael D Higgins’ self-appointed adherents is comedy gold, writes Gerard Howlin

The hissy fit of the politically correct at the entry of Dragons’ Den star, entrepreneur, and self- promotion expert Gavin Duffy is wonderful to behold.

I am doubtful about Duffy myself, but the double standards and discomfort of Michael D Higgins’ self-appointed adherents is comedy gold. If you follow the groupies on social media, and simply sniff for smugness to seek them out, you will find them basting in humbug on the barbecue. For that alone Duffy is worth it, at least for now.
