Anyone know if we got a mention?
Unfortunately, we didn't. I may have misinterpreted the call for questions, as they were nearly exclusively callers on the 'phone.
I wasn't expecting that they would be discussing anything heavy, especially when the interview started off talking about David Beckham and Roy Keane. (Worthy topics of discussion, I'm sure, but not really part of An Tánaiste's brief.)
Shane Hogan, who contributes to the ICTE mailing list, *did* get to ask a question about the startling revelations regarding discrepancies in the pilot runs of the electronic voting system in 2002. Ms. Harney obviously wasn't prepared for that one and fudged her answer, in my opinion. Dave McWilliams handled it well for her by changing the subject once it became obvious that she didn't want to talk about it.
Nice of him, huh?
