    There's a public meeting on the treaty referendum in Bray on Fri 20th April at 7.30. is not a Vote Yes or Vote No rally but a chance for some lively debate and Q&A. The event will be streamed on stephendonnelly.ie via twitter [EMAIL="twitter@donnellystephen"]@donnellystephen[/EMAIL] or facebook Donnelly for Wicklow.

    Shane Ross has called this treaty a sacrificing of Irish independence (in the Dail) and demands a quid pro quo from Europe for its ratification.

    Stephen Donnelly has called it 'writing Keynesianism out of the constitution' (on radio, with Mary Wilson).

    Constantin Gurdgiev has a new book in the shops on an Irish default (anyone read it yet?) and has also been given to hyperbole in the past.

    So while this is a debate well worth listening to, perhaps it might be worth remembering that at least two of these guys, while they support the fiscal treaty, have been given to somewhat inaccurate or emotive statements on its consequences.

    So, firstly there is a webcast of Stephen Donnelly, Constantine Gurdgiev and Shane Ross talking about the fiscal treaty.

    they'll be taking questions from Twitter (and I'm going to see if they will take questions from here)

    But they asked me if this was a first. ie: a TD organising a discussion of a topic of the day and webstreaming it with questions from the net, in Ireland.

    I think it is, but can anyone tell me for sure?? What else has there been like it?

    The link for the live event is: http://www.stephendonnelly.ie/live/ and it starts at 7.30pm tomorrow (Friday 20th).

    Irish Debate have done live webcasts/talks with Q&A a good few times, with both Senator Dan Boyle and Ciaran Cuffe (when he actually was a TD) among those taking part.

    As an aside, will the one tonight be recorded and uploaded somewhere? I won't be able to listen in live, but am definitely interested in what the 3 of them have to say.

    Yes it will be recorded live and uploaded later. Plus Boardsies will get a chance to ask questions, more on that later.

    I'm aware that web streams have been done before alright (I was on one with Sherlock recently) but those were organised by third parties , not by the TD himself/herself which seems like a key difference. I'd like to see more TD's doing this to explain the issues of the day to their constituencies (and the general populace at large).
