Taxi drivers risk being own worst enemy
The planned Dublin taxi protest should be called off ahead of a report on the viability of the taxi industry. A disruptive protest will lose the sympathy of the very people whose support the taxi drivers need. The taxi unions and representatives have been very successful in identifying issues that need to be addressed. These include:
Good Idea for St Patricks Day
I like this idea from our Dublin MEP Gay Mitchell. As some-one who really wants to get his Gaeilge going again I think these kind of proposals can only help. Cinemas should subtitle films in Irish for St Patrick’s festival week – Mitchell
New City Plans Flawed, Bad Deal for Navan Road, Cabra and Glasnevin

The Killers vs North Strand
Typical. Amidst the frantic and wonderful life of a politician you need things that keep you going. Music is one of the things that does that for me. My tastes are very wide. One of my favourite bands at the moment are The Killers. I could not get tickets for their last gig at Marley Park. Justine managed to […]
I am Twittering!
If I lose every election in the future party HQ may well look back and say that if I had spent less time wasting time on gadgets and computers and more time knocking on doors I would have been more successful. Well I just can’t help myself. I’ve just been on Twitter and set myself up on it. […]
