Here’s my take of the best Irish websites for you to inform yourself about, and discuss politics.
First up the news sites, politico focuses on politics & society, thejournal.ie is main-stream and independent, Indy Media is more lefty with articles on activism, and broadsheet.ie is the satire site that pokes fun at everything.
If you feel you know enough – it’s time to discuss. Politics.ie for a fight, boards.ie for a slow chat, or help me get the ball rolling in the United Minds forum.
Then we have information and analysis sites. King of this category is KildareStreet.com which has up-to-date info on politician’s activity in the Oireachtas. Meanwhile the Oireachtas website has info on your politicians, but no interactivity. My website techgroup.ie has profiles and twitter feeds for the Technical Group in the Dail (the ones not poisoned by big party politics. Super impressive mega ugly Elections Ireland has stats on all Irish elections since the start of the state. There are hundreds of politics blogs like election.ie that would take too long to list.
