Last Wednesday 25th November, Minister for Foreign Affairs, Micheál Martin TD, launched A Tale of Two Cities by John Hall.

The Minister was one of many Cork people who attended the launch at Hughes & Hughes Bookshop, St Stephen's Green. The book is a photographic comparison of the buildings of the two major Irish cities and their merits were hotly debated by Dubliners and Corkonians at the well-attended launch.

A renowned investigative journalist, Susan O'Keeffe was used to being at the other side of the camera, asking questions instead of being asked them, investigating the failings of politicians rather than aspiring to be one herself.

But in the spring of 2009 the Labour Party offered her the nomination to run in the European election in the sprawling eleven-county north-west constituency. It was as far from a safe Labour seat as it was possible to be but O'Keeffe accepted the challenge for several reasons, some of which owed more to instinct than to logic.
