If it's true it would be a breach of civil service regulations (unless they're all in very junior grades).

Interesting claim that a lot of the GP members are civil servants. If it’s true it would be a breach of civil service regulations (unless they’re all in very junior grades).

I just meant some of the IrishElection.com crew asked to go and they said no. I was hoping since they are into blogging now and they even have their own press mailing list for bloggers, that they'd invite them along. I wonder had I joined the Green Party yesterday, would I have been allowed go? :) And yeah, it'd be intriguing to see how something like this would be debated. Typhoid McKenna was on RTE a few minutes ago making a fuss over the whole thing and a deal with FF. She said she's probably vote no. Why be constructive when you can be sensationalist, eh Typhoid?

But I can see why they want to keep it private, and the Greens are on the good side of the openness spectrum in general. On the other hand I’d give at least one limb to be there.

Shame." They didn't refuse bloggers because they were bloggers, they refused non-Green-member-bloggers because they aren't members of the Green Party. If journalists or architects or artists or redheads asked they would get the same answer... This meeting is (I believe) a members-only affair; I think they're entitled to their private meetings. It's nothing to do with blogging :-) and at least the members get to have a say, as opposed to Fianna Fáil (there were no bloggers in their parliamentary party meeting either, other than Noel Dempsey). “I believe bloggers asked to attend and got told no.
