List of Candidates - Council elections?

chewed

Does anyone know where i can get a comprehensive list of all the candidates for the upcoming local elections in Meath? It's difficult to find anything online.

You didn't look very hard!
The Meath Chronicle will publish a full list according to their site on Tuesday.

This seems to be the link.

RTE have a general page too. Search for "RTE LEA".

I did look!

And yes, I found the Meath Chronicle link and RTE link, but no names/parties were included. Why does it take up to today to have a list ready? The election is just over 2 weeks away!

Very little about the elections going on around us anyway, apart from the posters you wouldn't have a clue.

Today is the final day AFAIK so lists will be complete after that.

Page not found, still haven't had a single knock on the door, it's like they're invisible bar the posters.

Still nothing, no canvassers, leaflets etc, are they doing anything at all? Wouldn't give me great confidence in voting for any of them if that's how they're treating the voters.

One popped into the letterbox last night, might have missed them if they called, at least I know what one of them hopes to do :rolleyes:
