    I think there is a new movement started in Clare called Independents together which encourages like minded people to have a voice in the running of our country. They are insistent that they are not a political party and nothing to do with Lucinda and co. I believe they have recruited candidates to run in the local elections,which is great , because people don’t know which way to vote now that they have seen the corruption of the last Gover. And the failure of this one to correct it.

    What does new political movement actually mean to the person on the street I real terms… No property tax, no water charges, no a and e issues. Will we still have 166 tds on 100k a year plus expenses and advisors etc etc

    A lot of these “new politicians” are also teachers with many of the taking a career break to do the honourable thing and return our country back to the people, we have had enough of teachers as they will upon getting elected receive their two pensions …..if they want to get elected resign from being a teacher before you want to be a politician that will endure you more to the people….

    Great. If anyone needs any typesetting done, they know where to go. Do they advise on “photo air brushing ” etc.

    Not sure if Donnelly will be involved.
    He is already part of the technical group.
    So do in this won’t change his impact.

    Seems rather pointless TBH

    Any vehicle that has Shane Ross and Pat Nulty in it is as attention seeking as it is utterly useless
