VOTE EARLY AND OFTEN

We Get The Government We Deserve
Is it More Of The Same or
A New Dawn

Don't forget to vote strategically today and maximise the possibility of making it count. The PR system gives you the opportunity, that if your First Preference Candidate is eliminated early your No 2 then moves up and becomes your No 1 i.e. First Preference. This method continues if/until all your Preferences are used up. Hopefully one of these Preferences kicks in. This is the advantage of Proportional Representation. It is certainly fairer the the British and gives a better representation of the county's views. Make Your Vote count.

Also DO NOT FORGET: If you decide to only vote for one Candidate "PLACE 1 AGAINST HIS/HER NAME AND NOT AN X". The pity is that the latter happens all too often.

Which of my Surnames takes precedence Murrihy or O'Muirithe?

My English name at school was: Fergus Murrihy. While at school I was given the Irish name: Feargus O'Muirithe. Earlier in the 20th Century the spelling would probably have been: Ó Muireadhaigh. 
I don't know whether my Irish surname is a translation of the English Murrihy or the converse applies. It has recently come to my notice that the Irish sloinne O'Muirithe appears to have more than one equivalent in English e.g. Murrihy, Murray, Murry etc
I was a fan of the late Diarmuid O'Muirithe, Lexicographer and Journalist famous for his 22 year stint writing the “Words We Use” column in The Irish Times until his death in Vienna in 2014. 
I often wondered if his English name was in fact Dermot Murrihy which incidentally was my late brother's name. Unfortunately I never took the opportunity of checking this out with him.
