The Battle of the Tipp TD’s and their websites

August 22nd, 2010 · No Comments · Irish Politics, Social Media

Remember Michael Lowry’s 20 Oxygen Weekend Passes Give-away earlier this year to celebrate his Facebook page and to launch his website?

It seems that Fine Gael TD for Tipperary North, Noel Coonan, has decided he needs a party to help launch his new website!

The launch of Deputy Noel Coonan’s website will take place in Long Charlie’s Pub on 27th August, 2010, at 9.30pm. The night will include food, music from the new, up-and-coming band Gin & Juice and a raffle for tickets to Guns N’ Roses and one nights stay in Dublin 4 Hotel. Guaranteed to be a brilliant night.

We can surel assume Deputy Coonan has paid for the prize himself and will be including it in his expenses or if it is a donation it will be listed in his returns to SIPO? Just checking!

I suppose I now know who Deputy Coonan is – he may have appeared in my ‘Know your Backbencher’ series at some stage in the future when I noted he followed me on twitter and realised I had never heard the name before!

I doubt Michael Lowry is invited to the party given Deputy Coonan’s objections to his constituency rival (and independent TD) being invited to Fine Gael functions in the constituency. The poor man has even had to put up with jokes from his party leader hinting that Lowry might rejoin the party.
