    Great idea, there is too much partisanship in Irish politics.

    Election to be held in June according to Newstalk.

    Bertie will be appearing on a TV show in the run up to the election. Coincidence?

    Dubliner to elect Mayor this year | BreakingNews.ie

    We need to radically change every system that has enabled the wholesale destruction of the Irish landscape, rural and urban. There is no time for incremental step by step measures. The systems have failed utterly and the only hope for a real recovery requires the rule book to be torn up completely.
