I’m going to be doing a bit of a redesign of the site over the next little while … Things will be tweaked … moved around and generally borked up .. Stay tuned

So Ireland has a new government and after seeing what was happening in the Dáil yesterday all I could think was Dáil Wars … and well it’s the new hope for Ireland.
