Presidential Elections

Yes - elections! Ireland has voted yesterday and France, where I live, and USA, where I lived in 1980's, are both gearing up for 2012 Presidential elections. Ireland has been served very well for the past 14 years by President Mary McAleese assisted by her husband, Martin. Before that, Ireland was well served by President Mary Robinson. We can only hope that the next President of Ireland will deliver a presidency that we will serve Ireland and further afield well. What a pity that if you live outside Ireland, even within the European Union, you have no vote.                                                   A T
