I did a piece on Newstalk a few months back and am happy for future enquiries to be referred to me.

Thanks, Andrew.
It's a pity we have to go across the water to get someone, but thank you. If
the program is any of these, let me know so I can listen to the podcast:

To others, is it not time we can handle these things ourselves?

Hi everyone,
Just to let you know, if you're in Dublin at the moment, I'm going to be interviewed by Dublin's Radio 4 on Wikipedia's Flagged Revisions changes that's been working its way round the news media.
If you hear it please let me know what you think

Yes, it would be much preferable if Wikimedia Ireland could handle it themselves. I'm not too comfortable crossing borders like this, but it was a bit last minute and we didn't have any media contacts from Ireland to refer it to. Is there someone who would be able to do this in future?
It's "lunchtime on 4" so should be up there. It was on at about 1:42. Do you know how long it takes to get uploaded there?
Any comments gratefully received. Apart from being introduced as the "Secretary of Wikimedia" (they may have deliberately dropped UK to avoid highlighting that fact!) I think it went pretty well and gave a very positive impression - presenter certainly had a good opinion of the site.

Wow! I never heard of this before ... how is it being advertised? From the
archives, I see it's been set up since June but it only looks like there are
three or four on the list (or at least that all that have posted to it) ...
is this true?
I posted at message on the Irish Wikipedian's Notice board two weeks ago
about forming a Wikimedia chapter in Ireland (got one "maybe" back and
Bastun posted a fair funny comment on my talk) ... but I didn't know about
this at all!
A meet-up sounds like the first step to anything ... and something positive,
anyway: those of us involved in Ireland-related articles are probably less
like to end up Wiki-murdering each other if we had a face to put behind the
screen name.
