Ireland is one of the older names of this country or the "The Irish Republic" is the real name it was given when our right to national independence was declared, it includes all of Ireland. The "Republic of Ireland" is carefully named to accommodate an alternative "Ireland"......so just to be clear the only the only legitimate titles for my country is Ireland or "Irish Reublic" and the President of Ireland is the "President of Ireland" or alternatively the "President of the Irish Republic" and NOT the "President of the Republic of Ireland" as the BBC and other British media and so careful to say.........Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5965333981619997978.post-83895715681826275322011-10-24T16:03:25.338+01:002011-10-24T16:03:25.338+01:00The south of Ireland isn't 'Ireland' i...The south of Ireland isn't 'Ireland' it's the 26 counties.

No self respecting republican would refer to our nation as 'the south of ireland'. We are Ireland, Republic of Ireland or less favoured is the 'Irish Republic'.

He got involved with Ógra Fianna Fáil in Cavan in the 1980s heading up the group for a year. A few years later, when Seán was a professional youth and community worker he was commissioned to write the Government’s first alcohol education programme. This led to Seán working for the then Health Minister Dr. Rory O’Hanlon as his Political Secretary for a number of years. When, in 2007, Seán’s good friend, former Ceann Comhairle Seamus Kirk asked for his help, Seán managed his very successful election campaign in a voluntary capacity and Seamus Kirk topped the poll for the first time in his political career. Subsequently, Seán went on the Party’s National Executive and attended two meetings in 2009. Seán is an independent candidate. He is no longer a member of Fianna Fáil or any political party.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
