Candidate Candour
Quiz: Which presidential candidate said these quotes?
The election may be over but some of these quotes will live on.
THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION has drawn to a close after weeks of posters, canvassing, and debating.
Jim Gavin’s early withdrawal left two candidates for most of the campaign period – Catherine Connolly and Heather Humphreys.
All three of them have produced some iconic quotes but can you remember who said what?
Who said: “There’s a lot of foxes around and people go hunting the foxes - once the controls are in place, and once the rules are abided by, I support rural pursuits"?
