John McGuirk formerly Fine Gael, formerly Libertas, fomerly National Forum and sometime commenter on Maman Poulet. Now an independent candidate for Cavan Monaghan and by the sounds of it he’s aligned to the Independent Alliance for Change (aka Profit Before People) He’s ‘no oil painting’, I nearly needed a tissue! Not sure where the website [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
Rendering Unto Caesar ala Ganley
February 9th, 2009 · 7 Comments · European Union, Irish Politics
I’m sure Ireland’s best chronicler of the activities of Chairman Ganley will be on to this soon enough. I got two texts early this morning directing me to the Irish Times and one asked why I was not in Roscommon at the weekend – like I’d be the most welcome guest at that table? Libertas [...]

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, [...]
Declan Ganley says homosexuality is a choice

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 [...]
