Joy, sweet joy. We have a date to have our say!

Taoiseach sets 11 March as election day. Interestingly today, in most democracies, the right to vote is granted without discrimination with regard to race, ethnicity, class or gender. However many countries have disenfranchisement of sentenced prisoners, for example in the USA voting privileges are denied to prisoners by some states, however several others (most nations of the European Union) allow prisoners to vote, regardless of time served, nature of the crime, etc. 

Given all that we have been through as a Nation, perhaps it's time for 'compulsory vote' in order that we have an elected Dail that knows and clearly hears from her people.
