    My bible(s)

    Thursday, March 6th, 2008

    I recently came into possession of two books/directories - one I bought and one that was given to me - which have quickly become equivalent to my Old and New Testament of Journalism.
    First up, I forked out something like €26 for the latest Nealon’s Guide, which goes into great detail on the last Irish general […]

    Begin again from the beginning

    Wednesday, January 9th, 2008

    So normality has largely returned to the land after the disorientated period some call ‘The Christmas’. Schools are open again, people are back to regular working hours and (almost) all the decorations have disappeared from houses and shops around Dublin.
    Of course the beginning of a new year always brings some navel-gazing, account-taking and aspirational planning […]

    Dáil30.ie re-designed and online now

    Tuesday, August 28th, 2007

    Things have been pretty quiet over at Dáil30.ie in recent weeks - mainly due to the fact that Irish politicians are on their holidays.
    This quiet time seemed like as good an opportunity as any to get the website re-designed and re-launched and after a plea on this blog and on adverts.ie Kevin of Alpha IT […]

    Site update

    Tuesday, August 7th, 2007

    This site recently turned two and passing that particular milestone made me realise just how much I’d neglected ever facet of the site bar the blog.
    The CV page was out of date, as was the About page, and not a single published article of mine had been uploaded to the Portfolio page since September 2006 […]

    Web designer needed for Dáil30

    Tuesday, June 5th, 2007

    With the election now over and the 30th Dáil only days away from commencing, things over at Dáil30 are going to be picking up significantly.
    At the moment the behind-the-scenes work is the central priority - it’s crucial that all 166 TDs are on board and committed as early as possible. But once there’s momentum in […]

    And so it begins

    Sunday, April 29th, 2007

    Bertie snuck off to the Aras in the early hours of this morning to request the disolution of the 29th Dáil, which means that the general election campaign is officially on.
    Here in Dublin North West, things have been notably quiet up until now, with no billboards (bar the generic FF ones), no door-to-doors and only […]

    Great news from Dáil30

    Tuesday, March 27th, 2007

    My podcasting project, Dáil30, has gotten its first major boost with an offer of support from Labour.
    There’s a proper post about it here, but I thought I’d flag it here too. Many thanks to Labour and its press office - the show of support is greatly appreciated!

    Contribute to Dáil30.ie

    Monday, January 29th, 2007

    The first Contribute appeal has been posted up on Dáil30.ie.
    The site will be trying to make first contact with the various political parties in the coming weeks to see if it can get some early support for the project (in the way of agreements on interviewing their future TDs).
    If you think you can help the […]

    Introducing Dáil30.ie

    Tuesday, January 23rd, 2007

    What I’ve been referring to as “the project” lately has just been (in)formally launched.
    Dáil30 is my attempt (planned attempt?) to interview and podcast each member of the 30th Dáil Éireann once it is voted in - something I hope will act as an introduction to the people who lead us and as a snapshot of […]

    Be my host - UPDATED

    Friday, January 19th, 2007

    Update: I’m pushing this back up to the top as I’m keen to get this sorted as soon as I can.
    My RBN filing was registered quicker than I had expected, so I’m pretty much ready to go, all I need is a suitable host.
    Below is a quick rant on what I’m looking for - suggestions, […]
