Seanad should be radically reformed, not abolished
In an effort to win electoral support Enda Kenny promised to abolish the Seanad. The proposal grabbed headlines but thats about all. Since winning electoral support and gaining power Enda Kenny’s government has done precious little to progress political reform at any level in Ireland. I believe we need reform of politics in this country […]
Seanad 2011
The last of the Seanad counts took place on Friday and I congratulate all those who contested the election, winners and losers alike. I wish to thank those who nominated me for the Seanad election and all those who voted for me. Obviously it was disappointing not to have been elected but I was greatly […]

Day 7
Attended general election husting is St Lawrence O’Tooles School Seville Place – the boys were very attentive and their questions displayed a real understanding of issues effecting their lives and the election (more than I had at their age :-). Then back on the road canvassing. Meanwhile I hear Micheal Martin did well last night […]
Day 9
After the weekend delivering my MANIFESTO, participated in an election debate to increase voter awareness in the North Inner City. A very well organised event arranged by the Adult Learning Centre in Mountjoy Square. Then off to Gaelscoil Bharra to get some great news. Click HERE for more. Meantime, the national polls and media write-offs remain depressing, but […]

Thanks to all the volunteers who continue to give up their time to help me out. Every day, every canvass, every poll, every analyst says the […]
