Image via Wikipedia So George Lee has resigned from Fine Gael and from the Dáil. This isn’t good news for Fine Gael, George Lee or the people of Dublin South. Its not exactly good news of Fianna Fail either. Labour will probably win the seat in the next by-election. My own feelings on his resignation is fairly well summed up by the cartoon over on Caricatures Ireland. It takes more then nine months to make an impact on party...
So its looking like Pat “The Cope” Gallagher will be elected to the European Parliament at some point tonight or tomorrow morning which means he will not be voting on the motion of no confidence in the Dáil.

I found this on my facebook home page and had to post it. Quite a good speech for a convention speech and very inspiring. He hits a few nails on the head. Watch it! He even praises Enda! Go on Lee! Vote Lee number 1!
So George Lee the now former Economics Editor of RTÉ will be standing for Fine Gael in the Dublin South By Election. Personally I am delighted that George is running for us in Dublin.
