That’s right – 44 days to go to the Lisbon II referendum. In the meantime as well as this most important vote on the future of European political co-operation and it’s rules and regulations we’ll have an early return of the Dail and the Seanad, NAMA, more reaction to An Bord Snip including a protest [...]

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 [...]

I’m getting emails, phonecalls, texts and IM’s about Ganley – it is amusing and agitating many it seems.

Doing Deals and picking candidates
December 11th, 2008 · No Comments · Lisbon
Today I’m off in search of an Ulster Fry as the bacon goes back on the shelves in the rest of the island. I’ve been busy working and watching the farce that really was a pig in a poke. Lots of jobs lost, food spoiled and menus ruined for what? Europe to say it as [...]

Declan Ganley – Primetimed
November 28th, 2008 · 9 Comments · Irish Politics, Lisbon
Just finished watching the Primetime special on Declan Ganley, had to keep reminding myself it was a special on the founder of Libertas and not a certain runaway solicitor (yup am waiting for that one! – it’ll be a popcorn and champagne night.) Katie Hannon has been busy chasing leads and putting questions to Ganley, [...]

Many thanks to Stretch (he reads Hot Press so we don’t have to!) for pointing us to the recent interview with Declan Ganley, the chairperson of Libertas. (Green Ink – Irish blogging Cartoonist extraordinaire) You might have seen Mr. Ganley on the Late Late Show on Friday night last, he has also been in Brussels [...]
