Many thanks to the sender who notes…..


Was given it today by a friend from Cork South Central – it’s Dan Boyle’s postal manifesto / Litir Um Thoghcháin.  There’s a rather strange quotation from of all people Rudyard Kipling:  “Judge of the Nations, spare us yet – Lest we forget, lest we forget”.

I looked it up – the quote comes from Kipling’s poem “Recessional”  ….. another stirring bit of that poem – “If, drunk with sight of power, we loose….”

“Why the Green Party called this election” -Letter from John Gormley -Green Party- Dublin South East February 11, 2011


A letter from John Gormley (via Dail Envelope) to a constituent on “Why the Green Party called this election”.
For a collector like myself its quite interesting in that it details the final days of the government and the lead up to the election. We also get a look back on some of the things the Greens managed to get done…. and finally we get an apology for previously writing that parking for the new Superquinn in Rathgar “…was available in Christchurch Presbyterian Church at the top of Highfield Road.”
