I know that this is not the time (Friday afternoon) or the place (tcal) to be talking about serious stuff like politics etc, but I’m going to post this anyway, because irishelection.com is a collective blogging effort that I think some people will find it interesting or useful. And they’ve just given the site a makeover, which makes it look good too.

This blog was set up somewhere at the beginning of 2006. It is a small attempt by Irish bloggers to get together and blog the irish election. Most posts that appear here will be cross-posted with the authors own personal blog. It is the intention of the contributors to add unique content to the blog in the run up to the election.

If you are a blogger interested in joining this project, email election-2007-at-yahoogroups.co.uk replacing -at- with @. All bloggers are welcome, irrespective of ideology, we just ask that you have some familiarity with Irish politics.
