Mr. John F. Higgins

Ballintrillick farmer Andy "The Bull" McSharry, who declared his nomination some weeks ago, was joined at the last minute by John F Higgins, a Tourlestranebased accountant.

Aged 54 and married with four grown-up children, he is a native of Kiltimagh in Mayo.Mr Higgins is an ex-banker and public auditor, who lived in Dublin for many years before returning to the West to live and work.

He is concerned that young people in Ireland will have to join an EU army."Fine Gael supports, Fianna Fail's lips just need to be watched," he said.

He believes house prices are double what they should be, saying, "Elderly Europe have bought •38,000,000,0000 of mortgages as long-term investments."

Mr Higgins wants the government to withdraw tax relief on pensions and suggests the only way forward for decentralisation is for the Dail to lead by example and move to the West.

He wants the government to properly exploit the hydrocarbons off our coast and supports the Rossport Five.

He is concerned about the birth rate."Our youth are not having children.Emigrants coming from former Communist countries will contribute negatively to our falling birth rate," he said.

Mr Higgins said the ban on smoking in pubs and clampdown on drink-driving had only moved the problem elsewhere."Pubs are closing down and destroying a necessary social aspect of rural communities.

This is a gory read--one not for the squeamish and more suited for those gorehounds out there (you know who you are, you sick pups)--but it's a well told yarn, made all the more effective with art by John Higgins.Done in a clean style, yet shaded and toned heavily for a more visceral effect, Higgins knows how to frame action and keep the camera angles shifting for dramatic effect.He shows a great range, from brutal battles between the military and the mutants to a gorgeous and almost romantic scene where the mother of the Sawney Bean Clan gazes out into an irradiated sky.

Remember when John once had to charm himself up a necktie just to enter a certain underworld establishment?Yet for a long time, he barely seemed to bathe, let alone carry himself with any dignity, lurching along from one tragedy to the next.

Well that, my friends, has changed.
