    Declan has partnered with/helped some of the campaigning groups in this and the last referenda.
    My aunt and uncle campaigned for him(libertas),when I asked them their opinion on his business interests and dealings they were clueless.
    Is this the norm,do those that support him actually know what business he's in and if so how do you rationalise it?

    Some people blindly support FF and FG in this country because their grandfather was on whatever side during the civil war. Issues and policy don't seem to matter. So it's some sort of blind faith. :confused:

    edit: as an aside, what business is he in that's so despicable to everyone. Wikipedia states that his business is providing telecommunications products to the American military and emergency services for use in disaster situations. What's so bad about that? What have I missed?

    The part where the Americans go to war and use Ganleys products to help them kill people, apparently.

    Well that or whatever has been classified over in the States, the telecommunications bit we know about because it's not classified...now why would DoD over in the US then decide to classify other items relating to Mr Ganley?

    There's almost no chance whatsoever of a useful outcome of this thread.
