Dave Ryan compiles a manifest-acular (yeah, I said it), with added podcast.
(Note: In retrospect, Dave DID mess up the Irish Officer again. John Ó’Liondáin did not run last year. That was Paddy Ó’Lionáin. John is currently President of the Cuallacht and has never ran for an exec position until this year. Soz)
Election season provides us with a lorry-load of information to find and digest in a relatively short period of time. With that in mind, your friendly neighbourhood Observers have helped you out. What follows is a list of Candidates with their relevant Facebook page or website attached, making it convenient for you to read up on the candidates. This list will also be available on the new #MSUelec12 tab on the main page of our site.
In addition to that, we present you with the 25th edition of Radio Free Maynooth, where I and Political and Business correspondent Jim O’ Brien discuss the election season. We experienced some major problems with our internet during recording, so we could not find a lot of the candidates pages, and some only partially loaded, so their manifestos were not visible. Hence, we attempted to focus on polling, and broad issues for the election.

Here’s Eoin Griffin’s manifesto. May not have been up at the time of recording. Smileyface.
Hey,
I may give Eoin a bell later and seen which link he would prefer. Have changed it to the wordpress.
Thanks,
Shane
