What are your thoughts on how the latest proposed amendments to the Irish Firearms Acts - as contained in the Criminal Justice (Misc.Provisions) Bill 2009 - contravene the EU directive on Firearms (91/477/EEC) by requiring all Irish firearms owners to only purchase ammunition or firearms from Irish registered firearms dealers instead of the current (and in force since 1964) laws that allow them to purchase from any registered firearms dealer in the EU so long as the appropriate paperwork is in place?

Recently on RTÉ Radio 1 you expressed a differing view to Fine Gael policy on on Civil Partnerships. Why do you not agree with the policy of the party that you joined?

Question from
I wish to vote in the upcoming elections for local and EU election but there is no party I can agree with. I plan to draw an X on my ballot but I think that this will not express the fact that there is no party I support.
I think that it would be a good idea that there should be a box to tick on the ballot with
"I choose none of the above candidates" and maybe a line for you to give a reason why.
This would allow people like me to show politicians that I am not being represented by them.
And it would show other potential parties that there is voters who they can appeal outside of voters who have chosen a particular party leading to a more representative spread of parties and ideas.
What is your opinion on this idea of mine and if elected on this upcoming election would you support it?
