    This is a prospective party of Government blatantly copying the design and concepts from a major international website.

    Coming soon. FineHoo! (Fine Gael website using the Yahoo design).

    Then FineBook, MyEnda, and then, well who knows.......

    if its only a test / pilot / proof of concept then fair enough but it shouldn't be publicly on line if thats the case, but if its the planned live site then someone's gonna look pretty stupid and lazy....

    Its probably from a template that can be downloaded and tweaked to suit the ethos of the user rather than a deliberate cog.

    But it would be fun if they had....

    BBC designed their site in house. It's not a design up for purchase.

    Fine Gael rips off BBC website

    Steph has done an analysis of the FG website, and is certain that the person who actually designed the FG website didn't just copy the design, but actually stole some of the code, including the design files.
