    Martin promised Kenneth a seat in the Seanad in return for his father not running and went back on his promise

    He can fall back on his councillor role. Unfortunately Cork's Northside residents are stuck with him for the time being.
    I have no issue with him representing the north side,he has done a lot of good work for my folks and plenty others up there.

    I'm honestly glad to hear that he is doing some good. I'd love to know what he does?

    He keeps his personal profile in the news a lot by speaking on a whole range of issues and I hear a lot of 'we need more...' and 'City Council needs to...' coming from him. I'm glad he's had to courage to finally go independent however. Listening to his father give out about Fianna Fail for years while holding on to their apron strings was very jarring.

    Burke did very well considering the movement in this election (and the fact that he lives in the southside), fair dues to him.

    He says that if FF had put him on the ticket then FF would have 2 seats. It's as valid an argument to say that if he hadn't thrown his toys out of the pram and ran himself FF would also have had 2 seats...

    He's sorted out some traffic light restrictions,got pot holes repaired and has been involved in getting the corporation to get rid of illegal dumping outside Ellis yard.

    FF said nothing about trying to get the north side of the Cork ring road completed which is vital to unclogging the traffic problems in the area and the entire area around the city in my opinion. If he was running on the FF ticket with no local orientated policies like this he would not have got my vote.
