Maintenance note

An Irish Election collective blog has been set up in anticipation of an General Election in 2007 and P O'Neill will be doing some posts there. We may or may not cross-post depending on the flow of content is going at each blog but in addition to a worthwhile general visit to the election blog, this link should find our posts over there. Incidentally, our prediction is that Bertie intends to have the election in Autumn of this year, riding an assumed "feel-good factor" after the country's successful hosting of the Ryder Cup in September.
