To find out what the Limerick Blogger Election Project is all about, head here.
The story so far: Week One
In week one, I received my first two acknowledgements from Maurice Quinlivan of Sinn Féin and Jan O’Sullivan TD of the Labour Party. At the end of Week one, I was waiting for an article from Mr. Quinlivan.
Week 2
On Saturday, I received Maurice Quinlivan’s article, which gave reasons as to why people should vote for him. It has received a mixed response from readers, some offering support and a promise of a vote, whilst others pointed out that great portions seem to have been copied from the 2002 Sinn Féin Election Manifesto. Readers have indicated that a personally written article would have been nicer than a demonstration of someone’s MS Word skills.
At 1442hrs on Sunday, one commenter said:
Poor old Maurice didn’t do anything to help his campaign he simply showed that he has basic microsoft word skills i.e. Cut Paste and “find and replace with __”
Expected in the near future
This morning I have received an acknowledgement and a promise of an article from Fianna Fáil’s Peter Power TD. He has promised to get back to me on a date, but it is definitely an accepted invitation. Meanwhile, we wait with baited breath to find out if Eddie Wade is going to run or not.
Last week’s Limerick Leader reported that Willie O’Dea would have no problem with him running, while a more reserved Noreen Ryan simply wished him well regardless of his decision.
Michael Collins’ trial at the Circuit Court gets underway next week. Only time will tell whether or not an ongoing trial will have an effect on voter apathy in Limerick East. Mr. Collins is facing a fraud charge.
