So, I took a little time to cross-reference the EU election results and
see how the Irish MEPs now stand.  Here's the results of a quick look at
http://www.elections2004.eu.int/ep-election/sites/en/results1306/countries/ie/results/names.html
cross-reffed against http://www.ffii.org.uk/votes/swpat/IE/s.html :

    name/party:                     FFII "score": (higher=better)

    a. FINE GAEL (PPE-DE)
        Simon COVENEY TD        
        Mairead MCGUINNESS
        Avril DOYLE                 58.41
        Gay MITCHELL TD
        Senator Jim HIGGINS

        Kathy SINNOTT 	
        Marian HARKIN TD 
    f. SINN FEIN
        Mary Lou McDONALD

A lot of people with no established voting records there. And Ciaran's
voting recommendations:
http://www.linux.ie/pipermail/ilug/2004-June/015940.html 

    Area 	Vote #1 	and #2
    East  	Avril Doyle  	Eoin Dubsky

Avril Doyle (FFII score: 58) got in, Dubsky didn't.

    South 	Brian Crowley 	Gerard Collins

Crowley got in (FFII score 76), Collins didn't.

    North West 	Sean O'Neactain 	

Got in (FFII score 76).

    Dublin 	Patrica McKenna 	Ivana Bacik

Both eliminated.  However Prionsias De Rossa (Labour) got in, and did note
in a letter to the Irish Times that he was anti-swpat, good news.

Unfortunately, Gay Mitchell (FG) also got in, and is quite pro-swpat. :(
Some re-education needed! ;)
