Garett is running for Fianna Fáil in the forthcoming local election in the constituency of Pembroke/Rathmines.

Can I make it through a post without mentioning his older brother? Well Garrett is far more web savvy than himself it seems – he still says the words ‘web blog’ with difficulty and well probably not appropriately but sure we’ll have video blogs each week between now and June 5th to see him fit into the blogopolis’s youtube continent (!) with ease.

One might say Garrett is following a long line of Fianna Fáil traditions in making sure one name checks parts of the constituency at all given opportunities – aka Charlie ‘Tallaght, Jobstown Killinarden’ O’Connor T.D. So if you live in Ballsbridge, Miltown or Rathmines and you get a knock on the door and it’s Garrett , be sure and say hello and tell him Maman Poulet warned you he was coming!
