– Independent Candidate for Cork South Central, David McCarthy, is blogging the campaign at Campaigntrail.ie It will be interesting to see if the Independent Alliance for Change he mentions develops and if this is a version of Profit Before People (Copyright – Miriam Lord) PDNua (Copyright mise agus Cathal) or the League of Extra Ordinary Gentlemen (Copyright – @daraghobrien)

– Not a lot of coverage of the views of ordinary members of Fianna Fáil in the media at the moment so it’s interesting to see this new project – The Legion of the Rear Guard

Legion of the Rearguard aims to bring together Fianna Fáil bloggers, and most importantly grassroot FF members, to write articles and suggestions with regard to the Fianna Fáil party. In essense, those behind this site wish to provide a means for the membership of the FF party to communicate their views as Fianna Fáil moves into what will be the most important election and post-election period in its history.
