I choose the blog called IRISH ELECTION I like this blog because
i see article's that i am really passionate about reading which up to a few years ago i didn't care about i never voted or anything like that until the day the Irish people
Were made vote again on the Nice treaty in 2002 it felt like i was living in Cuba
after hearing the government say that the No the Irish people had just voted was not
Good enough we had to vote again,it drove me mad but also opened my eyes and from
time to time i liked the odd rant at our commie government...this looked like a good place to read and chat about up to date politics in the country...
their were various authors on the blog and had about 22 post a week and about 32 subscribers..........
The post i choose is titled Murder Rate and to be honest i didn't find what i was reading that shocking as the media constantly talk about it to scare people if we didn't have to live in fear their be a lot less crime and when i say Fear i don't mean Fear for your life i mean Fear for your Job
Fear for your health etc..This post also outlines the harsh reality of life in Ireland is
"One hardly ever wakes up these days without RTE reporting from some part of the country about somebody being murdered, killed or the subject of manslaughter " comment from TD Joan Bruton in the Dail.
This is life in Ireland and even with such a high Murder Rate we live here and not in A Poverty Stricken country or even a country ravaged by war , imagine the Murder Rate in Iraq on both sides of the war we should count ourselves lucky!
