Blog 2_ Identity

The list of candidates has gone live on the NUI website. There are twelve in all including the three incumbents. Someone on Reddit has copied the list and made a stab at identifying each candidate. I have been misidentified as my more famous namesake and am described as a “television talent judge, newspaper writer and the publisher of the VIP magazine group in Ireland”.  Shortly afterwards Wikipedia repeated the error. Not sure whether this will help or hinder my candidacy?

Each candidate gets a 500 word profile piece on the NUI website. Once these went live on Tuesday 17th, Wikipedia corrected their mistake.
