This video will get Fine Gael members totally psyched for their Ard Fheis

Everyone else? Not so much…

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-m-kiOcKjdU

IF YOU’RE A member of Fine Gael the chances are you’re already totes excited about the party’s Ard Fheis at the RDS in Dublin this weekend.

But this video will get all you blueshirts really psyched up for the big one as things get under way in later today.

It’s called ‘Echoes of Ard Fheiseanna Past’ and features the voices of several previous Fine Gael taoisigh including what’s believed to be the first ever video/voice recording of WT Cosgrave from November 1930, It was, we are told, sourced from Pathé.

With obvious apologies to everyone who is not a member of Fine Gael, but it’s a nice production.

    @Mick paisley: what that really means is I am here a long time so they can’t sack me but not good enough to get promoted out of sales
