Good to see David Fitzgerald get in there. Pro business and pro jobs, I liked the message in his literature. 4 seats for FF? Would seem poor to me considering all the free publicity and sympathy they garnered locally, playing the opposition card whilst supporting FF.

Joe Reidy FF
Paul Cuddihy FG
David Fitzgerald FG
Sean O hArgain Lab

Were elected without reaching the quota.

road_high

O'Hargain barely scrapping in. Fitzgerald was new so I can understand that.
Cuddihy vote was poor, needs to do more.

Nightwish

O hArgain was lucky to scrape in. Maybe he wont be so sure of his own self importance. I have found him to be very difficult to deal with in the past. Cuddihy seems like a nice enough guy. I spoke to him during the general election campaign, but, like most politicians, didnt really follow up on any issues I raised with him, as he had promised.

road_high

Heard the same re O'Hargain alright Nightwish. An annoying little man I think

highgiant1985

dumb question from me here but what have these people been elected to do? ie whats their actual role on the council?

Also why are so many elected do we really need that many?

(I genuinely don't know as I don't understand exactly where the job role is)

fabbydabby

Whatever you do, just don't point out the fact that the faces on their election posters often differ massively from their actual appearance, lest you be associated with the golden age of steam.

They dont do a huge ammount as most of their powers have been curbed. Local jobs is Enterprise Ireland not the council. Planning and roads are an bord pleanala and the NRDO. The only thing councillors can do is re zone land from Residential to Industrial or commercial etc. and i reckon that might get taken away from them soon after yer man got jailed last week.

He only got in by 24 votes. Independent Mick Greene could have caused an upset there!

I found O'hArgain to be excellent and as a politican, brings education and innovation to the Borough table as for A McGuinness OMG are you having a laugh (more burgers and chips please):eek:

Threadhead

There's a good joke I heard during the run up to elections about O'hArgain. In which he was found desperately sobbing and crying one evening on High Street in his best suit and red tie because an envelope was after opening and he had missed it.

Our man in Havana

I see that FF's dolly bird failed to make an impact.

rosel

Well done to andrew for topping both poll's

But Labour's did alright for them. Fair play to Marie Fitzpatrick.

Threadhead

And also, fair play for a quick turnaround on getting those 'Thank You' stickers up on his vans.

Do you reckon he had them printed up already just in case?

ber12009

well done and best of luck to him he desevered it

Did anyone see the graffiti on her election poster at roundabout on the Comer Road, near the Barracks?

Someone drew a speech bubble with "Who's your granny?" on it. :pac:

sooshie

yeah fair play to him, he ran away with it..... he completly deserved it, worked very hard for that seat.

Sully

One thread will do on the elections, thanks.

(Plus, he is no longer a member of Boards)

Topic Cl...o...s....e....d

(Merged instead :P)

ChristIsMurph

The woman who made the biggest impact on the election had to be Kathleen Funchion. I disagree with almost all of SF's policies but to pull out that result in Kilkenny City deserves some credit.

I saw AMg crying one night after his burger and chips...........THANK YOU
