Dana is fed up being accused of all kinds of everything .

its dana-gate pmsl….no-one still knows what she is on about, and is now coming across as slighty deranged!!!!!!!!

I think we’re over Dana at this stage.

Allegations, litigation, campaign costs too
All kinds of everything reminds me to sue,

I’ve a pain in me Aras listening to this rubbish. Contest the election and get on with it or just pull out and save the country anymore of your tantrums. Its gone on long enough.

At least 4 of the other candidates will provide merry making and piss taking opportunities to keep us amused

I couldn’t care less if she withdraws or not. Her campaign has been half-hearted, ie not appearing at debates, taking far more days off than the other candidates. Perhaps it is time for her to go home ( that is to the USA).

Oh bloody hell… Whingy, unintelligent person. Does anybody really care?

If comments were made about the family member in question, what has it got to do with Dana? Is she going to sue on their behalf? I think she’s just looking for an easy way out, so that she can put the blame on somebody for ruining her presidential campaign.

I don’t think I can think of somebody that grates on me as much as Dana. She drives me berserk. She is like that annoying person in a reality tv show that somehow manages to survive and yet she remains as annoying as ever. Get her out!!!

Run along there love and close the door on the way out, nobody really cares, even the papers couldn’t be arsed printing anything.

Would you expect anything less from a diva?

How convenient it would be for her to withdraw. She’s down and out of the race anyway. Her display last night on Prime Time was abysmal. I’ve never been more confused about what her “vision” is for the presidency. Such gibberish!

Allegations have been made, and if I find out who those alligators are……. Old joke, couldn’t resist sorry.

“Unknown allegations” – I think that “unprintable allegations” is more to the point.

Whether you are a fan of Dana or not, I don’t think her children and the rest of her family are “fair game” for the media.

I’m disappointed that so many of you on here who expressed such outrage at the smear campaign against David Norris (based on things he had actually said/done) aren’t expressing equal outrage when a member of Dana’s family is seemingly smeared.

There’s a serious lack of balance and consistency on here.

I am ashamed that she was elected MEP for Connaught/Ulster and as someone who grew up in rural Ireland we have to take our share of the blame in lettiing the world see this person. She is like the mad relative you dont want people to see at a wedding but nevertheless makes a fool out of everyone in sight.

You can read what the scandal is on some of the Irish American websites.
They have printed it.

If they are correct I am not sure why she choose to run with the team she did. Also I do not understand how she thought this would not come out? As it is a serious alligation.

I really hope she does along with another one or two

I don’t know what she’s getting so upset about it for, I mean let’s face it she doesn’t have and pretty much never had a hope of getting a post in the áras, she should just back away now before somebody else digs up something on her.
Furthermore people are getting far to serious about this! You’d swear it was going to be a defining moment in Irish history, when in all honesty, as you look back over the presidents gone before and you look now at the xfactor -esque "contestants" in the run for the candidacy, most of them are a joke in comparison!
The only one, i believe, thats of presidential calibre is Michael d Higgins and he’s a push at best.

Good twitter post today:

Dana’s secret is…….. Her real surname is banana!!

Beware of the voices….

Dana would love nothing more than to be in front of the Tv camera for the next 7 years as President of Ireland,
getting all her expensive clothes paid for and getting flown around the world like the important woman she must think she is. Dana more than any of the contestants dose not deserve to be President of Ireland.

Dana’s election result – “nul point”

All kinds of everything happening in Dana’s campaign

Maybe we should vote for the lawyers for the candidates instead on the ballot paper. One cannot ask about the colour of their eyes without legal advice saying that it might upset someone and they are prohibited from talking about it . At least Dana being a US citizen can plead the fifth amendment . The rest have no excuse .

I heard shes into swinging..maybe thats the accusation..throw your keys in the bucket love

If Dana was any more off the wall the monster raving loony party would accuse her of bringing politics into disrepute.

I know what the scandal is. It was Dana broke the moving statue in Ballinaspittle.

5/1 on pp for her to drop out .

Compassion anyone.

Dana is firm proof that insincerity simply isn’t enough to win a Presidential election

Let’s have lots more women in politics-as long as they’re liberal.

How they all have "legal teams". What is that? A lawyer in each bedroom?

The accusations are quite serious and there seems to be a court injunction against publishing them in Irish media, which includes online media so even if you know you are at risk of being taken to court for so much as tweeting the accusations (which, lets just say are in a very ‘David Norris’ direction but much worse) when it would pass any ‘public interest’ test in any other legal system. This whole situation is making a mockery of free speech as much as the election itself is making a mockery of our democratic process.

Was there not a song called “Time to say goodbye” ? Hint Hint
