Time to get out and vote

People always give out about politicians. That, I think, is just the way of the world. But when you look at the events in Egypt or Libya in recent weeks, people in Ireland should be thankful at least that we do have a democratic system and people have the opportunity to have our say at the ballot box.

That's why it is important to use your vote today.

But of course, for one reason or another, many people won't.

Some will have good reason, but those who don't because they are just too lazy - should refrain over the next four years from making comment on the state of the country or the services provided by government departments.

Today you have an opportunity to be constructive with your criticism. An opportunity to vote - to have your say in how the country should be managed.

Don't waste that opportunity - go out and vote.
