Image via Wikipedia I received a PR about the Late Late Show from Fine Gael this evening and read it with some surprise. The Fine Gael leader in the Seanad had been asked to appear in a three person panel debate about Seanad Eireann on tonight’s show. Unfortunately the Party’s Leader of the Seanad, Frances Fitzgerald, could not appear on the show as she was unavailable. The Party then nominated Senator Paschal Donohoe to be its representative on the...
The Fine Gael Ard Fheis will be taking place on the 3rd-4th of April in City West in Dublin and as I said on twitter last week, Bloggers will be given Media Accreditation. I have no information about who to contact specifically at the moment about it, but when I do I will post it. All I can suggest is calling the Fine Gael HQ at (01) 6198444 and asking them about it. I found out via the National...
The above is a video by Simon Harris (FG Candidate for Greystones Town Council) asking for volunteers in Greystones to help out with his campaign. Would love to know how many sign up due to a video on youtube. Would it make you call him up and volunteer? I wouldnt, from the video alone. Also that Vote Harris number one sticker looks mightily familiar, I believe I wore one of those back in 2004 in Ballina when he ran...
Image via Wikipedia The Labour Party published its Electoral (Gender Parity) Bill today (See RTÉ for details) which will cut state funding to party who dont put forward a certain percentage of female candidates. From what I see from my expeirence in political parties, that when women put themselevs forward for candidature they invariable get selected, not because women vote for them but because men vote for them! I attended conventions for three electoral areas for the upcoming local...
Image via Wikipedia So the PR early budget didnt work and it seams it is time we had a new budget. The current budget has only fully been in force for two months!!! If thats not FAIL I don’t know what is. Fine Gael are calling for massive “overhaul” – read cuts – in the public sector and they have a point that there is a lot of waste that does need to be cut out at the top...

Image via CrunchBase I was recently asked about official Fine Gael stuff on Facebook and twitter (I seam to be the go to person) and I must say there isn’t any that I knew of! That remineded of my FineGaelNews bot on twitter and I checked out its followers and I found three Senators and a TD who use it properly as well as a Local Election Candidate. The Senators are Senator Fidelma Healy Eames from Galway, Fine Gaels...
