Presidential election a mirror of our society

WITH the tawdry debacle that was the nomination process now over, I am fairly confident that each one of the seven chosen candidates could perform the functions of the Presidency adequately. The people must decide, however, which candidate can put Ireland on the world stage, in these chastened economic times.

Who we decide to elect as President will tell the world where we are at, as a people and a nation.

Communicating to the world that we are at last at peace and that we can sit down with our nearest neighbours would be positive.
