He may have a tiny, wee head, but he’s just spilled onto the interweb the ‘line-by-line’ expenses of TDs and Senators “detailing in never before seen detail how a public body spends money”. That’s a lot of details for one sentence.
Gavin is a long time blogger and recently moved to thestory.ie/, where you will find the line by line stuff.
We shall return to this story very soon once we have had a look at the expenses properly and found a bigger photo of Gavin.
It’s over.
Fergus O’Riordan gives Micheal Martin what is known in election circles as a ‘piece of his mind’ at the Old Schoolhouse in Dunboyne, Co. Meath, this afternoon.
Well, if you’re going to put your face on all those posters…

They’re calling it a Ro-off.
Rosanna Davison, and Rozanna Purcell in a figure-hugging, up-style, Universe-meets-World intergalactic death match.
We’re giving it to old pro (oh, stop it) Rosie as young Roz’s eyes appear to be about to pop out of their sockets in desperation. It’s a jungle out there.

But perhaps they haven’t seen this version. All the way from the open mic session at the Square Bar in Portlaoise. First shown on Broadsheet in September, to the sounds of jaws dropping. Enjoy.
This is an election leaflet.
Seamus Healy’s 2011 campaign flyer.
He’s in nobody’s pocket.
And neither is his leaflet. Badum. Tish.

The guy in picture number two. Surely that’s just an innocent height issue?
Otherwise Karl would be banged up by now.

Sarah Carey took the Democracy Now celebrity cabal out to the woodshed this morning.
What happened next is almost too painful to watch.
KAZAM!
“…what the putative commentator candidates did, is undermine the mandate of the elected by claiming they are there by default – that we are where we are because the electorate had no choice. That other brilliant brains are excluded by an in-group conspiracy.
If Shane Ross, Paul Sommerville and John McGuirk can run so can David McWilliams, Fintan O’Toole and Eamon Dunphy. There is no conspiracy – there are simply choices. The non-runners have made theirs.”
BOOM!
“First, spare us the “civic involvement in a new democracy” meme. We have civic involvement in our democracy. It’s called the vote. People who win that vote have a mandate. People in the media don’t. If the reformers get a mandate, we’ll get the reform.”
KAPOW!
“What does it take anyway? A graphic designer would come up with a swoosh in a day. A manifesto? No problem: if there’s one thing a journalist can do, it’s write to a deadline. Then get that profile shot on your website over to the printers. You can hire a company to put posters up.After that, the lads have what other candidates can’t buy – national name recognition and a regular platform across all media. No money could pay for the free publicity.”
KERCHANG!
“The candidates will get abuse on the doorsteps and take part in public debates where the winner is deemed to be the most abusive presenter. Many will lose the fight for the seat. But there will be honour and integrity in that loss. The runners and riders are those who make a democracy work and we have a democracy, now.”
Crikey. You go girl, etc.
