Declan Ganley’s off to a summer school in Austria

August 3rd, 2010 · 2 Comments · Declan Ganley, Irish Politics

He’s still about – speaking at summer school type things in Central and Eastern Europe. In May he spoke at a conference organised by a think thank called the Educational Initiative for Central and Eastern Europe – the majority of the agenda was on a crisis in Western Liberalism and the threat of Islam on [...]

Karen Coleman has released video footage from last Sunday morning’s radio debate on Newstalk between Prionsias De Rossa MEP and Declan Ganley before the off air incident where expletives were exchanged and Richard Boyd Barrett intervened.  Did you ever see a grin like it?

Gotcha?

So it’s being pushed by the Yes Side – I’ve no idea when the interview was filmed but you get the picture (well the picture the Chairman wanted and the Yes side hope you see!) Assume that someone will be along shortly to say when the filming took place.

Oh baby give me one more chance

July 26th, 2009 · 3 Comments · Declan Ganley, Irish Politics, Lisbon

It’s been nearly two months since he said he was going. Someone in Ballina wants him back! (I’ve been away and swamped workwise and this is very old news forgive me.) Yes Bring Ganley Back is the first highlight of Maman Poulet’s Silly Season.  No comment from the (Ex) Chairman on the site and it’s [...]

So that was interesting

June 8th, 2009 · 13 Comments · Blogging, Declan Ganley, Elections, Irish Politics, Live Blogging, Uncategorized

Understatement! I’ll let other people talk about the liveblog and the results. The weekend was stunning on a personal note and it was brilliant to work with Cian, Alexia, Mark, and Damien over Saturday and Sunday in bringing it all to life and have inputs from so many others around the country. Thanks again to [...]

Libertas Phone Canvass

May 14th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Declan Ganley, Elections, Irish Politics

So anyone received a phonecall from one of the 15 full time ‘genuine Libertas volunteers‘ (free lunch provided!) doing phonebanking and making calls to 100,000 households? I know it’s been underway for a few weeks but wonder what the pitch is now as we are well into the campaign? Any Dublin Calls being made or [...]

Subliminal Campaigning?

April 10th, 2009 · 3 Comments · Declan Ganley, Elections, Irish Media, Irish Politics

There will be many a nickname for (and many eyes drawn towards) the campaign for the European Parliament election in the North-West Constituency. This video was recently loaded on the Facebook Page of Jim Higgins, Fine Gael’s MEP for the region. The cartoon is two years old and was created by the European Movement in [...]

Village Magazine to interview Declan Ganley in next issue

February 11th, 2009 · 3 Comments · Declan Ganley, Irish Politics

No banning or removing from shelves then – it’s getting to be a regular occurrence from Chairman Ganley – this protesting, objecting, throwing rattles out of pram, but not actually winning cases/upholding complaints. Village Magazine strongly upholds the right to engage in vigorous investigation and comment on matters of public interest.  Mr Ganley not only [...]

In Today’s Irish Ganley Times

February 10th, 2009 · 8 Comments · Declan Ganley, Irish Media, Irish Politics

I’m getting emails, phonecalls, texts and IM’s about Ganley – it is amusing and agitating many it seems. This joins the matter of the farce that is the Equality Authority board and resulting machinations in the LGBT sector as items keeping people talking when not concentrating on economic meltdown and mismanagement. World by Storm indeed [...]
