Its primary function was obviously to get himself over as a personality. He has achieved that goal and more power to him for it. The difficulty I have is that he's not being honest about that. He misrepresents himself as a man-of-the-people with purely selfless motivations. I am also led to believe that he may have misrepresented himself in the past as a writer/director/editor/insert skill set here, when his only genuine discernible talent (if you can call it that) lies in insisting upon himself; luckily for him, having 'neck' appears to be more vital than any other characteristic if success in Irish public life is your goal. Limerick/Irish people are disappointingly susceptible to the carefully cultivated Mr. Nice Guy personae, who harbour a pathological need to be liked by everyone. Having said that, he now appears to be attempting to move into an arena that, in theory, maximises that 'talent'; a business in which insincerity doesn't appear to be a problem. Good luck to him. Striking out on your own, in any medium, is extremely tough. Luckily he can rely on the myriad connections he's made during his time with ILL to boost his chances.

When I've run events, done something for my sports club, anything, he's always been amazing about providing coverage. He does not ask anyone for payment to write articles, share blogs etc.. for anyones events. He's often organised a camera crew, photographers and gotten coverage in the paper. I know multiple student photographers who've volunteered and he's helped make them, given them experience as volunteers on the site, trained them in PR etc... It's an amazing crew of people. He's done more for Limerick than almost anyone I know. If the naysayers on this thread ever (decided to get up off their arses and create something for Limerick and) needed help getting ANYTHING off the ground in Limerick, even with your negativity, he'd still share them and help you out. Now if someone runs a blog voluntarily for 10 years, I for one hope at some time that decade of work pays off and they get a profit out of it. But no, that isn't the direction Richard has taken. The best part is, he probably wouldn't give two ****s about the naysayers, here or anywhere, because when you've got someone promoting a positive agenda, you'll always have the bitches. He gets that's part of life, from my experience of knowing him, people like that aren't even on his radar.
