There has been a lot of publicity recently around Politicians blogging, particularly in the run-up to the General Election. Many people have said that Fianna Fail has been slow to take to the web, and other parties were using it better.
Over the last few months, I’ve been working with people throughout Fianna Fail to […]
An Taoiseach, Bertie Ahern is in Letterkenny today as part of his tour of Donegal North East. In particular, he’s due to officially open the new short stay unit at Letterkenny General Hospital this afternoon.
I hope to make the opening of the new unit at the Hospital today, but I don’t know if I’ll be […]
It was around this time last year that I visited St Eunan’s College to talk to a class of CSPE students about the roles and responsibilities of a Town Councillor. I was delighted to be asked back again last week.

I’ve had the week-to-end-all-weeks over the past 8 days. Web server crashed last Sunday, taking a few dozens sites and few hundred email accounts with it *.

A few quick updates:
Commiserations to St. Eunans, who lost this weekend’s County Senior Football Championship final to Gaoth Dobhair. Hopefully things will go better next year. Gaoth Dobhair were the best team in what was a disappointing game, and came through with a late flourish
Donegal is set to get more than 10% of the new […]
Charles Haughey made a huge impact on Irish life over a thirty-five year political career spanning from the late 1950s. He served with distinction in every Ministerial position that he held, and his many imaginative initiatives are remembered. He brought in most of the free schemes for the elderly, as well as generous […]
Local media today is buzzing with the report that Dr James Mc Daid has announced his retirement from politics at the next election. It’s on the front of today’s Donegal People’s Press (their website is here but hasn’t been updated yet), this Highland Radio article, a piece on BreakingNews.ie and I’m sure more places to […]
