    Adams will get one easily.



    For Gods sake edit the poll and put in Gerry Adams, and Biggins too!


    Let the poll be multi choice too, theres more than one seat!

    All in all poll fail.

    Thomas Clare independent is getting 4 number 1s in our house, an honest good worker for all and does'nt believe in expenses or junkets, jobs and the economy is what he is about.
    And you can be sure he knows the current vat rates.

    Luke Martin(independent from Dundalk) will also be running, on a kind of Fathers for Justice ticket,so dont be suprised if you see him Climbing a building or two in the near future:) Superman he is'nt,but he is one good guy who has his beliefs at heart.

    I dont think Fitzer will make it, a lot of gaa people dont want him elected, and a big split in fine gael over it also.
    John o leary didnt make it in dublin the last time around.

    :D:D True. But as the list is far from complete, and we have a PR system in this country, it has a way to go yet.

    Yes. He wanted to repoen railway station in Dunleer, a great money earner for local property developers. ;)

    Pity he didn't show similar interest is getting a playground for local kids.

    Once a Fianna Failer...

    Does anyone know if Biggins ran. I wanted to vote for him. But I've been working outside Ireland for the last couple of months (I know, no excuse. But with a family to feed. I have no option) Did he run. Was he elected. I hope so, he has done great things for the children hospital.

    As already answered in other thread: I had a few trolling/stalking me (one idiot from here) so for a time had to go silent.
    (I still have one such muppet doing so in AH)
    I've notified a few by PM as some of the reasons to why my possible running has had to be put off till another time.
    Some were for practical reasons, some for personal security to do with family.
    I have even had to password protect my family website.

    My apologies for that.
    It was a partial request from other people looking into the matter.
    I could say little at the time - for obvious reason.
    My family site was hacked and data/info stolen including details that was later used to defraud my bank/credit card company.
