Too busy to give a comprehensive account of the day today. The highlight of the day was Minister O'Cuiv's annoucement of more jobs for Rathcairn with the siting of Glor na nGael there.
The rest of the day was spent canvassing Navan. At the doorstep the response is positive. Most people are very supportive of the Taoiseach. The people don't go for that type of thing in Irish politics thankfully. Whoever is behind these leaks will find it come back to haunt them I've no doubt.
About my blog
- Noel Dempsey
- Trim, Co. Meath, Ireland
- I have decided to start this blog for the election campaign to allow you, the voters, to communicate directly with me during this time. What I hope to do on this blog is to keep you informed on the campaign, the issues and stories. I would like to hear from you about your issues, your concerns, what you believe we as politicians should be addressing. If your going to vote I'd like you to vote for me but maybe you need to know more about me, my policies and my parties policies before you finally commit. Feel free to use this site to clarify all of this. If you dont intend to vote tell me why, tell me what might make you change your mind. If you want to help in anyway you can use this blog or my website to contact me. I look forward to hearing from you. Noel Dempsey

Us and Them
Some people say there's no differences between the parties. If that was true the Dáil would be a much duller place. In this section of my blog I will outline the key differences between our policies and those of our opponents.
Let's start with one significant and simple difference: Tax
The Fianna Fail tax package will mean that 97% of taxpayers will be better off. This will mean at least €1,000 extra for lower and middle income earners.
The Labour/Fine Gael package will benefit the wealthy and rich.
Stamp Duty
Our stamp duty proposals focuses on alleviating pressure on first time buyers
FG/Lab's proposal is a scattergun approach removing stamp duty for all homes
Our proposal will cost the taxpayer 60 million and is aimed at those who need it the most
Theirs will cost us €460 million!
Our proposal will be enacted immediately and will be backdated to the 30th April when reelected.
They haven't agreed the details or the timeframe, but have said they will do it at some stage. (Another example of having to read the fineprint on Enda's shaky contract.)
