Lo & behold myself and the missus received polling cards for Bandon… my missus has her vote registered in Dublin & I have mine still in Cork noth central. I queries this with 2 Fine Gael canvassers when they called to the house one night before the election and they took notes and said they’d look into it. The lady canvasser then asked me ‘where would we like to vote’??!!!! I’m aghast but apparently this is commonplace. We haven’t registered with any political entity but all the party literature that came by post had the same spelling mistakes in both our names. Someone gave out the info… must have been when we registered the new house, perhaps?
Is the country doomed????!!
We still have the vote in Dublin four years after leaving. The courts were trying to badger Catherine into jury duty there since she is still on the register. And this is after the clean-up. What a joke.
No – Bloglines has a red exclamation mark next to your feed as if there’s something wrong with it. When I popped over here I noticed you had a couple of posts done that I hadn’t seen. Maybe it’s just mine. I’m sure it’ll sort itself out.

Does everyone vote Green in Ireland? Who would Darby O’Gill vote for if she were alive?

Darby would vote for the little people. And wasn’t she a he?

Darby was a he??! These human names are damned confusing.
