Lots of other bibs and bobs about policy and Dublin of the time.
Many thanks to the sender.
Eamon Ryan -Green Party News for Dublin South- Summer 2010 September 4, 2010
Dropped in the door during the week. Very lucky I spotted it as it was delivered in the middle of ten or so flyers from Double Glazing to pizzas. Only for the fact that I scour the junk mail looking for the likes of this it would have been in the Green Bin.
Amongst the articles are a competition to win a ‘Water Butt’, an explanation of the Free-To-Air Sports on TV a noble Iphone App for Autism at http://graceappforautismoniphone.blogspot.com/
There are other interesting items here too.
