We are seeking Registered Members who would like to serve as:

Ainmníonn an Taoiseach an Tánaiste. (pronounced "AN-uhm-nee-uhn uhn TEE-shuhkhuhn TAW-nish-chuh") means The Taoiseach names the Tánaiste.

Please send your nominations (and yes you can self-nominate) to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it as soon as possible. Be prepared to submit a short write up on your qualifications and desire for these offices.

Currently, two of us members are serving all of these functions and we could use your assistance.

As it stands currently:

Note: I will be placing my hat in the ring for the elected position of Taoiseach, rather than 'Acting Leader'. If Someone else wins the election for the position, I will of course continue to be the webmaster and will gladly assist the Taoiseach for as long as I am needed.
