Political Blogging in Ireland is still in its infancy. Until recently only a small number of trailblazers commentated on daily political events in this freeform. However this year’s election marked a watershed with a variety of politicians and journalists writing blogs for public consumption. Mainstream media took note of what these amateur pundits were posting on the web and in some cases stole their arguments.

Some of these Blog sites can achieve readerships that exceed the likes of Magill, The Phoenix and The Village Magazines. Is there a chance that they will become a dominant force in political life in Ireland?

Cian is also here to announce the launch of the Inside Out web site. This will allow us to pod cast our episodes weekly and allow you to comment on what you hear in a listener’s forum.
