So further on from my last post here are the full topline figures of the Irish Times TNS/MRBI poll: Fine Gael 36% – 2% Labour 23% +3% Fainna Fáil 20% -1% Sinn Fein 8% -1% Green Party 3% = Independents 10% +1% So Fianna Fail are definately dropping while the Greens have halted their slide, for now. Sinn Fein are down one point, which could hurt Mary Lou’s chances. We have to wait till Satuday for the Euro-Poll. It...
The headline figures for the Irish Times TNS/MRBI poll are circulating on twitter. The figures are: Fine Gael: 36% (-2) Labour: 23% (+3) Fianna Fáil 20% (-1) This poll sees yet another fall in the support for Fianna Fáil and a re-adjustment in the support for Fine Gael and Labour. I think the current figures are slightly more accurate as Labour were being under estimated by the polls in my opinion. If this was to happen on polling day,...
So it happened. Something I didn’t think would happen. Or maybe something I wouldnt let myself think would happen. All the warnings were there, but I didn’t think it would happen. I got handed my notice. Thats right. I am now unemployed. I never thought I would be upset about loosing my job. But everytime I think about it, my eyes well up. Yes, I know I am not alone in loosing my job, but its a gutting esperience...
While watching the Green Party Election Broadcast on IrishElection.com there was one line that jumped out at me. “We should get more the our fair share of these Green Jobs” (not sure if its an exact quote, so open to correction) Why should Ireland get more then its fair share? Why can’t we be happy with our fair share? These days the European Union is a Union of 27 states. That means any funds, programmes, and whatever has to...
Its not often I find the phrase from Cromwell’s speech to the Rump Parliament in 1653 coming to mind, but after watching clips of Micheal Woods TD, the former Minister for Education, from back in September 2003 on Prime Time its the only thing that is in my mind. At the end of the interview he blames the people of Ireland for what happened and not the religous orders. See Gavin’s Blog for the full clips from that Prime...

I haven’t blogged about the Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse Reportreport as between the jigs and the reels and the coverage on other blogs, I didnt see the point. But after reading a story in the Irish Examiner that the religous orders are not going to re-negotiate the indemnity deal and seeing this video from Q&A last time I am annoyed. I am soo annoyed. I am not sure who to be more annoyed with though. The Government...
