Stephen Crowley Green Party Candidate for Cork City Council Cork South East Ward

As I am canvassing I am keeping a log of all the issues and ideas raised by constituents.

Here are my findings so far.

Tea, originally uploaded by stephencrowley.

As a heavy tea drinker I found it difficult to stomach the taste and prices of fairtrade tea when it first came to Ireland.

this was because at the start it was only one or two large british companies who ventured into the area of fairtrade and did not understand the minute yet important differences between an english breakfast tea and an Irish breakfast tea

Thanks to all those who came and supported me. Elections aren't cheap.

and I'm farly sure that ye all had a good time. I forgot to take photos, thus this imageless post.

My next table quiz will be held in Blackrock hurling club on Sunday April 19th from 8pm.

If people are looking to carpool or get lifts, I'll be using Dan Boyle's electric van to spin people to and from the event. but only if you've organised it with me before the event.

I happened to stumble upon the food stalls and live music yesterday on the newly opened boardwalk on the south mall. I also had the pleasure of revisiting them today having viewed the excellent Brendan and the Secret of Kells with friends in the morning.

From the Press Release:

*Avego is an exciting new technology being tried in UCC that recently featured in the New York Times. It matches car drivers to passengers who want to use the same route, allowing the drivers to make money by selling their empty seats. If you commute to UCC by driving a car, you can try it out. A free iPhone is offered to every driver who does. Audrey Linnane will be giving a presentation and will be able to answer any of your questions. (http://www.avego.com)
