Not quite true. (In fact it's downright false. But it would be rude to
say so. <g>)

"Politican's Name" is now a valid category. But if he loses the
election, he "must have their domain name de-activated after due
notice."
There's only one way to ensure that!
Note: Not being a politician I'm only entitled (as are most of us on the
list) to a domain of the form [first initial][second
initial][digit][digit].ie
e.g. www.kd01.ie
Crap, eh?!
