Ursula Connolly

I'm an IT reader (we even have a weekend print edition subscription!) but the coverage of her campaign by that paper has been nuts. You might be right about the 'most' though.

Agree that all politicians should be subject to scrutiny on spending but there is something very imbalanced in the frequent and negative reporting about Catherine Connolly by the Irish Times. This is the second post on this subject in 6 hours.
