"Joe"? Redirect[edit]

Why does Joe McCartin (and variations) redirect here? Is John McCartin called Joe? (It doesn't say so in the article.) There's a Joseph McCartin who does go by Joe, but from here it's really hard to find the latter's article. 71.77.12.236 19:21, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Parliamentary work for Fine Gael[edit]

"He served as secretary of the Fine Gael Parliamentary Party, Secretary of the Opposition Front bench and party spokesperson Minister for Agriculture."

To me, that sounds more than a bit confused. (Has there ever been such a thing as Secretary of a front bench?) Does anyone fancy having a lash at sorting it out? Harfarhs (talk) 20:56, 13 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
