Can you guess some very basic data about your constituency and your TDs off the top of your head? Size of constituency, electorate etc. You can check in the links provided later for accuracy.

There might be scope for keeping an eye on your TDs or giving biographies of them but try to open another thread/threads if you can.

It's also an exercise in using the TABLE function. The button for making tables looks like a calculator and is called Insert a table.

Clare TDs (4)	/Clare pop: 104,000 /electorate 70,500

How about this?

DMW TDs (4)	/DMW pop: 110,000 /electorate 80,500
John Curran FF	Age 48/in Dáil since 202 /First TD elected in Election 2007
Paul Gogarty GP	Age 40/elected first time in 2002
Joanna Tuffy Labour	Age 43/elected first time 2007 / one of only 3 new faces in Labour
Mary Harney PD	Age 55/first female Tánaiste and leader of an Irish political party

I don't get it. What are we supposed to do here?

Are you proposing that I guess something ?

Well just their ages and the sizes of the Constituencies which you'd hardly know offhand. I'd like to put a basic set of data together about the TDs around the country. You'd surely know their names and parties wouldn't you? You can check the harder statistics on johnfas link later. It's half a quiz. I'll change the name of the thread when all the country is done. (it's also an exercise in doing a table)

So where do you live?

Anyone going to have a shot at the table above? It's more of an exercise in the table than anything else - someone else can clean up the data later.

It looks a bit hard, Auditor, and I am afraid of being horribly wrong in public. Perhaps that is the point . Perhaps if we put a list of all the T.D.'s up first and then put non-defamatory material/our opinions of them beside? Or is this treading on Ibis's ground?

How many TDs in your constituency?
