    Slightly off topic but still related. Saw 3 jeeps decked out in an MEP's posters and signs leaving athenry on saturday evening. they were doing approx 70mph on a 30mph residential road out of town.

    then yesterday one of the same jeeps came into my estate blaring out on a tannoy the fields of athenry and a voice over "i'm great, vote for me"

    cant wait for this election to be over, dont think i can the cope with much more of this!

    You should have taken down the reg numbers and reported them to the Gardai.

    In the crescent in Limerick last Saturday, 1 Labour van failed to stop for me on the zebra crossing, while the other one following behind was on the phone whilst driving... you gotta love Ireland !!:rolleyes:

    In fairness they may have been making that kind of an exit for safety reasons.....

    What makes you say that ? Nowhere in their post did the OP mention that they were FF or Green party MEPs.....

    I expect the drivers were on loan from Blackwater's Iraq contingent, especially if the candidates were FF.
