Not familiar with the ins and outs of the Lee Fields situation but if they're to be attacked for Local Politics so should the Fianna Fail and Fine Gael candidates here in Limerick East whose literature confirms their outright OPPOSITION to the introduction of bus lanes and Cycle lanes here in Limerick for fears these lanes might impinge on the on-road parking rights of some of Limericks wealthiest citizens. No problem sticking clearways outside the homes of the less well heeled who don't have off-road parking or rear access but we'll not be having that carry-on on the millionaire mile of the Ennis Road and South Circular.

...in it's crudest form perhaps but you don't challenge that it's devoid of leadership. Besides which you can't keep on doing it forever. Oops here comes that "sustainability" word.

Bertie must think Milan will get through on Wednesday. (CL final is on 23rd)
Not No.1 anyway..perhaps No.2
On a side note can anyone elaborate on the ethos/aims of the Socialist Party.
They appear to be very much a shadow party...

Is he trying to disenfranchise the Manchester vote as they'll all be in Greece?Bertie must think Milan will get through on Wednesday. (CL final is on 23rd)
Actually we are at home to Shels that day so I will be going home for that anyway so I will be able to vote. Elections really should be on a Saturday though.... and on a thursday. can't have them ideallistic studenty types getting home and voting now ...they mightn't vote the way needed.
How do you mean?

All of this has happened before. All of it will happen again.
Its ok voting for the Socialist Party based on local issues (maybe better to vote for in local elections) but seems pointless on a National basis as they will never get a chance to implement their policies. I notice there is no mention of tax policy in the website linked above I presume because of required tax rise.
The parties haven't wasted much time in putting up their election posters as the lamp-posts are already covered with them. How many people vote for someone because they recognise their poster?
Probably way too many pete. The Big Brother and Most Haunted watchers that actually vote, for a start.
There's a Micky Martin poster at the end of the Ballinlough Road, and some wag drew a beard and moustache on it, and "I AM GAY" on his forehead. It shouldn't be funny, but I couldn't help chortling to myself.

Noel O'Flynn, TD (FF) has helpfully added his mug to a pole at near the end of a hill in blackpool (cork). Only, he (or his lackies) put it at just the right height so that coming down the hill you can no longer see the traffic lights until the last moment.

On the contrary Pete, its pointless to vote for most of the other parties because regardless of who gets in they'll still be implementing the same neo-liberal policies. If you want those policies fair enough but if you want change, then vote for change. Having a stronger more militant opposition in the dail would be a start to building a broader movement on a national level. As Eugene V. Debbs once said, "I'd rather vote for something I want and not get it than vote for something I don't want and get it".
On how to pay for stuff, I've gone into that in some depth elsewhere.

glad to see the way the PD's are going here anyway !!!!
I hope the irony of that isn't lost on you!
Me too. It's very simple too, abolish VRT and motor tax and raise the price of petrol to cover the tax income. Hey presto, cars with low fuel efficiency pay more and cars with fuel efficiency pay less. Some tweaks to avoid destroying haulage companies may be required but it can't be that complicated.
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
Not at all. The thought goes through my mind everytime in fact, but sure what else can you do?
BP, I did note that the Greens would drift towards mainstream as they grew in stature, it doesn't mean their very existence doesn't force parties to be more environmentally minded than they otherwise would be.
Small point but I supposive indicative of the cronyism and wink and a nod nature of the current Goverment.
The erection (ooh err matron) of election posters is strictly controlled pre-election declaration (and effectively banned from most public places until an election is declared I understand?
I had reason to be driving down the Stillorgan dual carriageway at an ungodly hour this morning, before Bertie had even left Drumcondra to go to the Phoenix Park, and lo and behold, whose elections posters had been put up overnight in prime position, only FF and the PDs.
As I said, small point but indicative of the incumbents general approach to bothersome rules that they think they can get away with.
The election posters for at least one tosser - sorry, 'hopeful' - have been out for a week or two in Cork East. They're supposed to take them down immediately after the election too.
I've already decided to make complaints to the Gardaí and the DoE about every poster that doesn't come down on time this year.

Good idea.
The Council are quick to tell us to take GUFC match posters down-but it was only around xmas time the last of the Election posters were coming down.

The Shinners were out plastering their mug's vacant mug all over Glasnevin Avenue within thirty minutes of the election being called.
A leading authority on League of Ireland football since 2003. You're probably wrong.
Michael Ring will be getting my no.1. The people of Westport will be giving the Dail a Ring!!
