Politics In Ireland - an updated site.

I don't usually write about politics for various reasons. And I don't read many political sites either (something to do with boiling blood..). What I do like is aggregators - corkblogs.com is an obvious favourite as are the various tech ones out there so I was interested to get an email recently from Damien Mulley (he of mulley.net , Sky Handling saga etc) about his new aggregator site Politics In Ireland . What this site also does is to effectively sort various political utterances and postings by TD or constituency so you can go click on Jimmy Deenihan and read his comings and goings in the political arena. Per Damien the following is also available: "New features are widgets which can be stuck on your blog so you can display the latest politics posts on your own blog: http://www.politicsinireland.com/widget/ Additionally people can now subscribe by email and get these posts to their email address and so don't need to come back on a daily basis or subcribe using a feed reader. Email sub box is on front page. Lastly there is now a Wordpress plugin that if you install it, will link to the relevant TD page on Politics in Ireland any time you mention a TD in a blog post. Anyone can install this, once they have a
Wordpress blog: http://www.politicsinireland.com/wordpress-plugin/ So there you have it - now toddle off for a look and make sure to come back.
