Is there anywhere in the Irish Republic where someone like Edmund Burke would be able to be elected today?

You know, akin to New Hampshire or Arizona, apprx a decade ago?

If it was actually Edmund Burke, then anywhere! Someone like him.... hmmmm I'll have to think about that! (Happygal and Colosis, any ideas?)

There was what I term an old school Fine Gael TD (in contrast to the modern liberal party) in Louth called Brendan McGahon, but retired at the last election.
