Entering the second last week of the campaign and the online campaign jewels shine brightly.
On Election.ie Alexia Golez spent Saturday trailing the Labour Party Leader travelling in Gilforce 1 and 2 and meeting the party’s by-election candidates.
Meanwhile in Limerick, Alexia’s sister Klara spotted Labour local election candidate Tom Shortt skateboarding with his brother comedian Pat Shortt. Pat sprained his ankle during the photo-op – a new meaning for brotherly love?
Grace Campbell from Youth Media for Europe tries to find out more about one of the Independent Candidates running in the East Constituency. Jim Tallon is one mysterious serial election candidate!
Another independent candidate running for the European Elections and the only Limerick based candidate is Dr. Alexander Stafford. Squid from Limerick Blogger caught up with him for an interview.
Yesterday in an online first for Ireland Joe Higgins from the Socialist Party held a online media conference taking questions via twitter and from a number of bloggers who attended the event.

It’s oooh at least 4 days since anyone mentioned George on Irish Election – Described as Satire in his youtube description – Paul Kelly sings George Lee

There is a strong touch of the “my fellow Americans” to some of these office background set ups.
Don’t miss Ronan Callely’s Facebook page. It may well provide an insight into the face of future politics. The local election candidate’s hot button issue for discussion at the moment (actually, his only topic of discussion) is “Should Barcode be closed down????” (Barcode is a bar much favoured by young Clontarf folk) I should add, the multiple question marks are his, presumably to emphasise the gravity of the issue????
Ronan (Fianna Fáil, and son of FF) is presenting himself as the candidate of change. Change of hairdo? Change of clothes?? Change of drinking establishment??? Change of car????
barcode is well dodge for numerous reasons its an v.important and relevant issue
I recall being told Ivor was a big fan of the jacuzzi down there. Guess he has plenty of time for it now.
