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…

Busy weekend. After a wind and rain swept Saturday canvassing The Markets, Glasnevin, Cabra and Navan Road I made my way to the City Sheriff to register as a candidate.

Day 21
Canvassing today in Cabra & the Navan Road. Great support from my team. Despite gale force winds people were willing to stop and talk at the shops and open their doors when we knocked.
Day 21
Party leader Micheál Martin and deputy leader Mary Hanafin this morning outlined today’s key message: We’ll lower the EU-IMF interest rate through consensus, not conflict. Watch highlights from the conference HERE. In it, Micheál says: 1. Ireland’s budget problems are separate from last year’s funding deal. We still need a multi-annual plan to bring the deficit…
