Sir, – With the closing date for nominations for the presidency fast approaching, time is running out for Fianna Fáil to make an approach to the only celebrity candidate worth his salt.
This personality is known to everybody, is popular the length and breadth of the country, is sorely missed by ex-pats abroad, has no political baggage, is instantly recognisable, and is loved by all, young and old.
His autobiography outsold Bertie’s, he has his own theme park, and his name is on everyone’s lips.
Forget Gaybo, it is time for Fianna Fáil to make contact with the salt of the earth, Mr Tayto, before it is too late. – Yours, etc,
