Cat and pigeons come to mind with the news that Martin Farren - a long-time Fine Gael man in Inishowen - is standing for Labour in the election to Donegal County Council in June. Labour's tide is rising, Martin's well-known, but there doesn't appear to be much of an organisation in place across the peninsula at the moment.
Having said that, Obama showed what can be done, and Martin's pics with Labour leader Eamon Gilmore are already up on Flickr - and they only met yesterday . . .
Met Eamon Gilmore up at the Patrick MacGill summer school in Glenties either last year or the year before, and he seems a personable chap. Not sure of the quote on the party website though - "We are neither Fianna Fail, nor Fine Gael. We are Labour. - Eamon Gilmore, Party Leader"
Oh . . right, glad that's sorted . .

Eamon Gilmore and Martin Farren pictured in Sligo yesterday - yes they can?
