			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The final arguments are being made and the last babies kissed as both politicians and campaigners rally for support in the Lisbon Treaty. As of midnight tonight a media blackout comes into force, forcing the key players to take a back seat and see how things play out.</p>
<p>By now all registered voters should have received their voting cards in the post! Along with this comes a leaflet that outlines all the key information contained in the treaty! If you&#8217;re still undecided, have a read through it!It might just help you decipher some of the conflicting arguments put forward by both sides.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s a lot of cryptic and confusing arguments being thrown around the place. If you want to sort the truth from the lies please visit the <a title="Referendum Commission" href="http://www.refcom.ie/en/" target="_self">Referendum Commissions</a> website for an impartial view on the treaty. By law the Commission is required to be 100% impartial! They&#8217;ve created a website specifically for Lisbon which is extremly informative called <a title="TheLisbonTreaty2009" href="http://www.lisbontreaty2009.ie/" target="_self">TheLisbonTreaty209</a>!</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a video from EuroNews that takes a look at both sides of the campaign.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><!-- Smart Youtube --><span class="youtube"><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/bY4pAdgf0_g&amp;rel=1&amp;color1=d6d6d6&amp;color2=f0f0f0&amp;border=&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en&amp;autoplay=&amp;showinfo=0&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;showsearch=0&amp;feature=player_profilepage#t=15" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><embed wmode="transparent" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/bY4pAdgf0_g&amp;rel=1&amp;color1=d6d6d6&amp;color2=f0f0f0&amp;border=&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en&amp;autoplay=&amp;showinfo=0&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;showsearch=0&amp;feature=player_profilepage#t=15" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="355" ></embed><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /></object></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Voting stations open at 7am Friday morning and don&#8217;t close until 10pm that night.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I&#8217;m voting YES, but whatever your decision, please come out and vote!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-11" title="hello-world-iphone1" src="http://donaghmcsweeney.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/hello-world-iphone1.jpg" alt="hello-world-iphone1" width="264" height="200" />Well here it is, my first post! Ever since I started blogging over on <a title="Loopthing" href="http://www.loopthing.com/?a=BnGncukOwJ4" target="_self">Loopthing</a> I&#8217;ve become addicted so I thought it was about time I got my own personal blog up and running.</p>
<p>Well, as stated above I&#8217;m planning to write about a number of topics. My main focus will be on all the happenings in the social media, tech and business communities. I can&#8217;t wait to get started and I hope I can offer some thoughts and opinions that get people thinking!</p>
<p>I&#8217;d also like to take this opportunity to thank Ed Harrisson of WebRevolutionary for the great <a title="Curios Theme" href="http://webrevolutionary.com/curious/" target="_self">Curious theme</a>, which is actually one year old today (didn&#8217;t know that until now, kinda freaky)</p>
