Absolutely not. Obama is in fact Bush 2. read full story / add a comment

Time to dust down the dancing shoes – the Green Party's inaugural National Ball takes place in the Lord Bagenal Hotel, Leighlinbridge, Co. Carlow on Saturday 1st November.

As we come into an election year, raising money will be a key factor in getting as many Greens elected across the country as possible in 2009. We hope that the National Ball will become the annual highlight in the Party's fundraising calendar

This will be a black-tie event and tickets are priced at €80, including a five-course meal (with a vegetarian option of course!) and entertainment by a live band. read full story / add a comment
