Anyone coming to my blog looking for Dail constituencies, I don't have em.
The official Constituency Commission has images and detailed reports on the boundaries and changes.
Go here for the 2012 boundaries in google-kml http://www.tallyroom.com.au/maps (free if credited to Ben Raue ) or here for more detailed ones with Electoral (sub) Divisions http://icampaigned.com/blog/dail-constituency-maps/ (not free) or go Ordnance Survey Ireland for commercial use files.

Keep meaning to learn R an open source statical graphics language so I copied this example from Drew Conway about building a better word cloud. I took the Fianna Fail leadership contest speeches from the Irish Times as recent examples of comparable speeches. There was a lot of talk of how often the spoke of what was good for the party as opposed to what was good for the country.
As Drew says this only shows common words so here are wordle clouds, of all there words.
