Thomas Byrne TD will be familiar to blog readers. The newly elected TD competed via blog and on the ground with Dominic Hannigan for votes last May. Anyhow, turns out his former speciality was solicitor specialising in EU law and in a public message on the blog he is inviting voters (I doubt he could be that picky about geography - it is a referendum after all) to email him questions on the treaty before they go and vote (thomas.byrne-at-oireachtas.ie thanks to oireachtas.ie). Positive engagement beats the more scary tone elsewhere.
He wants your name and address, so it sounds like he is going to be that picky.
But what will he use them for Dan, what will he use them for???
WBS, he wants to know where you live! and perhaps where you walk your dog…
Apparently, he’s doing it to stop the cranks. Like knowing where they live is going to stop the hard core ones.
