This year I was contemplating given Kathy Sinnott a preference in the European Elections this year (considering Fianna Fail are getting none) but I remembered why not when at work on Saturday I was reading an old copy of the Cork Independent (free sheet) and it had profiles on lots of the candidates in the Locals and Europeans. They asked them to list their priorites, on of Kathy’s was and I quote Preventing the HSE from promoting Euthanasia in...
So I stopped doing the five a day as it was beginning to be a chore, so I have decided to do a linky post every two days, so Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. So here is the first installement. Check out Helena’s post on Thinkaboutit.eu about aslyum seekers (supposedly) taking jobs, the comments are quite interesting. Der Spiegel tell us about a Nudist Hotel planned in Germany.

Its not very often you see your name written in the Seanad Official Reprot and there is its as right as rain, my name in the middle of a speech by Jerry Buttimer. It is time we got rid of the e-voting machines. We must draw a line in the sand, throw them into the sea off Roches Point and let them be gone. We have not examined the role of technology and it is not referred to in...

Image via Wikipedia (I’m told a new logo will be launched at Ard Fheis) So I got a call and an email from the lovely people in the Fine Gael Press Office today to tell me that I have media accreditation for the Fine Gael Ard Fheis.
