MoC Back to Work.
The Irish Community
Hello all. I am back again.
I was asked by our new CP to fill in as MoC due to my experience with the office. I have either been MoC or co MoC like 15 or 16 times. I have lost track. Let’s just say that I have done this a time or two.
That being said I want to bring some new ideas to the MoC. New contests, new ideas, new fun.
I am grateful to Raven Anarcho for continuing the Eurovision Contest. I think it is a wonderful idea and fully support it. It also gives the MoC an event that is going on so that I don’t look like I am doing nothing.
🙂
Here is Raven’s latest Eurovision Article.

We need songs. Get yours in today.
My latest idea.
What I am proposing is that organizations in Ireland should sponsor contests.
That would mean that say Independent Voices wants to improve their name and attract new members. Well they can come up with a new and unique contest to run through the MoC. The MoC will help with running the contest and even help with the prize money. Any organization can run a contest. Any MU, Party or even Government Ministry or even Congress if they like can create, run or if they don’t want to do any work can just sponsor a contest.
If you pick the lazy route and just want to sponsor a contest then your group will have to front the entire prize. That is what you get for being lazy.
So if your group comes up with something really great, something that gets everyone talking, then you get to bask in the glory. Of course I don’t have to tell you if the contest flops then the ridicule that follows is all yours too.
🙂
So if your group has an idea and wants to participate just let me know.
Well that is all for now. Let’s make Ireland a more fun place.

Just realized that two of us makes AC/DC..that's how hard we are!!
Are you Angus or Malcolm?
Angus!
I have seen them twice. Once indoors and once outdoors. Cannons are much louder inside. 😮
"Taking the Ire out of Ireland. " made me smile 🙂
Well then. This is unique indeed. Having parties/MUs run a contest with and through the MoC.

Umm, I thought the idea behind the MoC was to be politically neutral? I know when I ran it a good while ago, I was told that, even though I didn't think what I was suggesting was particularly political.
All parties and MUs are able to hold a contest through the MoC, but it would make the MoC seem less neutral if the same group did multiple times. Though with so much of the country apathetic at this point, i don't know if any group will take advantage of this offer and run one.
To me I feel the MoC would be political if we supported one group over another or denied any one group the opportunity to participate. All groups have an equal opportunity to join in and if they choose not to that is their choice and not the MoC in any way denying them the chance.
If there is any feeling that this idea is not politically neutral then I will withdraw the idea. The neutrality of the Ministry is important.
I'm not overly bothered, it just seemed that allowing PPs to sponsor an event was akin to advertising. Just musing aloud, really.
I do see your point.
Yeah I agree with Liam's point above. especially if the PP was to run a competiton through the MoC. It would be difficult to keep it neutral in that case.
The idea is good though, maybe we just need to set some clear terms around.
What about limiting it to just MU's to start with?
What about limiting it to just sponsorship as opposed to setting the terms of the competition if its a PP?
Those might be a good start. As no group has made any suggestions yet it may be moot.
The main idea was to get some new ideas for contests.
But sponsoring would help out with the current financial situation in Ireland.
Great to have you back again AC
