At 2pm today, Irish emigrants will be sending a message home that 1/6 Irish voters will have no say in tomorrow’s #GE16.
Nearly half a million people left Ireland since 2008, including 80,000 young people. Most forced to leave because of government policies and are now being told to return home by the very politicians who pushed them away.
The Thunderclap campaign will broadcast a message from Irish emigrants at the moment the broadcast moratorium starts. The message to the next government is to put emigrant voting rights on the agenda. Still time to sign uphere

Did you stay in last night?

I am surprised you haven’t mentioned the highlight of the campaign so far. RTÉ partially redeemed themselves last night for their abysmal, biased, fearful general election coverage (don’t get me started) thanks to Apres Match. The uncanny Terry Prone take off [at link below], in particular left me, well…prone…..credit where it’s due, fair play in fairness, etc, etc.

Here’s How, the Irish current affairs podcast presented by journalist William Campbell, speaks with Sinn Féin’s Dublin Rathdown candidate Sorcha Nic Cormaic; Fine Gael’s Galway West-South Mayo candidate, Seán Kyne TD; and Fianna Fáil’s Kerry candidate John Brassil.
William writes:
Better late than never, three of the four big parties finally came through with interviewees. They all get a grilling on the Bumper Election Special of the Here’s How podcast, except the Labour Party who didn’t show up. Go figure.
*At 35.27 Mr Kyne is asked about the appropriateness of former Fine Gael Environment Minister Phil Hogan’s decision to cancel inquiries into planning corruption.
