Never mind all that law drivel. Go immediately to Fustar and read part one of his three part interview with Eugene Lambert of Wanderly Wagon fame. He's one of the creators of the Ireland you live in now.

I’m Still Standing
Kiesha Poiro has a new piece on Tuppenceworth. It is an open letter to Michael Stipe, who has sorted out all her life's problems in a single song. And assisted her in buying a pretzel.
Sit Down and Be Counted
Irish Seal It isn't often you're thinking about podcasting and stumble on a reference to your own grandfather. But that's what happened today when I was bumped towards Richard Develan's site to listen to his trial "Saturday View"-style podcast, Sunday Brunch. I'd listened to it, and thought it a little too slow, a little too safe and not focused enough on Ireland, but not a bad start.
Tuppenceworth Meet-Up- More To Come
Hello all,A cheery change from grumbling about the Four Courts broke through last week when Tuppenceworth, at close to no notice, had its first get together in real life. Special thanks to Fergal, Mary, Emma and their friends for turning up and making sure that I didn't stare out the window in the Library Bar all by myself.
Ciaran Cuffe Asleep at the Handlebars?

Tuppenceworth Meet-Up
Do you know, in the five years that Tuppenceworth has been running, I never once thought of a meet-up?So, I suggest I remedy this error. What say people (in comments, for preference, but email will be ok too) to a meeting next Friday the 20th at 8ish?. I'll suggest the Library Bar in the Central Hotel in Wicklow St in Dublin, but it might be packed.

There are two stories on the topic in today's Independent (registration required, but bugmenot may be able to help you out in that regard).
A Model Exchange
From the Comments to Liz McManus Blog[To preface my comments, I’m the Mayor of Letterkenny and have been blogging actively since June ‘05]On my website, I try to include everything I can that is of relevance in the post. It’s vital; people don’t like following links. I’d also consider it important to try to keep the information together.
Data Retention: Proinsias De Rossa responds to email
There was some discussion of my previous post on Proinsias De Rossa's vote, making him the only Irish MEP to vote in favour of the Data Retention Directive passed in December of last year. (More comments here and here)I posted his statement following the vote. Now I thought I'd post his response to my email, which landed with me today.
Liz McManus Blog
I noticed a new blog appear on Planet of the Blogs today- Liz McManus, the Deputy Leader of the Labour Party. She's clearly writing it herself. I'm in favour of Ms McManus, as she appeared to wish my Grandmother a happy birthday a few years ago at her house party.
