Is the Ceann Comhairle still a TD.[edit]

Is John O'Donoghue still considered a TD since he became Ceann Comhairle--Dmol 19:00, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes John is a TD however he will not need to stand for election during the next election circa 2012? if the gov lasts this long. John as Ceann Comhairle does not vote except in ties or have much to do except he is the speaker and his job is to keep control, and see to it that rules are adhered to. John has a casting vote in the event that there should ever be a tie in voting in the Dail, as nearly happened last week during a vote on Aer Lingus in Shannon which the gov won only by one vote, should that or any other vote be a tie John would have to cast his deciding vote which would most likely favour Fianna Fail. John will in theory remain a TD until 2017 providing he lives that long and that this current gov and the next government of 2012 goes full term. --Netwhizkid 20:53, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Big photo.[edit]

Can the photograph used be trimmed down in size. It looks like an election poster.--Dmol (talk) 21:26, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Much better now, thanks.--Dmol (talk) 21:17, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
