Don't know whether this is Martin Ferris or one of the Healy-Rea boys doing.

This photo was proven not to have even been taken in Ireland, let alone Kerry! Plus apparently photo shopped!

Not even taken in Ireland, it's from the uk apparently! But even then I think I was a hoax!

It was shown not to be in Ireland, but in fairness didn't we come close enough to recreating it with the arrows on the opposite side of the road on the Tralee bypass :rolleyes:

Anyone know if they've been removed? Haven't been out that way in ages

So the answer is absolutely nothing? How did he get in for another term?
I just find the voting patterns in my home county to be very strange

Very strange post, most 5 seat constituencies should have had a sinn fein candidate in contention given their national vote.

Obviously Sinn Fein are not the same as other parties so this isn't uniform but Kerry 5 seater was pretty normal as regards Sinn Fein's vote.

In fact Ferris achieved a lower first preference than the national average.

My issue is with the lack of job creation in the county- yet the incumbant TDs who do nothing still get returned.

We constantly hear about how we are disadvantaged in terms of jobs yet guys who do absolutely zilch in terms of job creation dont get removed.
I'm just using Ferris as an example but he has been there for maybe 15 years or so and yet no one can name a single thing job creation initiative that he has been involved in.

I'd imagine all anyone will be able to come up with is- some protest whereby more free stuff is promised as part of the Sinn Fein manifesto- no empowerment, just empty promises of free stuff.
