Irish Election Literature 
Congrats and fair play – keep up the good work.
Thanks Barry. I was kinda surprised what was there. The divorce ones are there because there is little online of a contemporary nature from that Referendum and from what I can see they must be part of some academic courses.
The Headshops because it was such an issue.
George Lee….. etc etc etc
If Ming does this well in the next election he’ll have a seat! 🙂
This is really a great site.
I wish there was one like it for Aus. Some university started an ephemera collection but I don’t think they had the nous to publish it as a blog or what not.
Keep up the good work.
Thanks Albert. As I’ve written before I’m blessed that in 1982 I developed an unusual hobby of collecting election (and later political) material.
Since I started the blog, I’ve been getting wonderful material both via email and regular post.
As regarding University collections, I’m at an advantage where If I find something interesting I’ll post it. Given that most Universities are to a degree publicly funded, I’m sure they would have to be more careful what they posted.
Great site, been a fan for a long time now, gives an insight into the deveopment of politics like no other can manage. Look forward to many more gems.
