Waterford election hub

I see Jim Darcy FG has Cllr ón his posters above his name.. Surely this is fraudulent and should be forced to take these down?

Below is the official candidate list with existing councillors having C'llr next to their name

Should have been forced to hide/remove the C'llr above his name as could be bring the result into disrepute if he gets elected

I'd say having Cllr before your name would more likely be a negative 😂

It won't be on the ballot paper anyway.

Ryan in Cork yesterday announcing funding left right and centre for their rail network. No planning even secured yet, while Waterford airport has full planning permission for the runway extension and private funding ready to go yet Ryan couldn’t give a toss. Please remember this on the 7th of June with the Greens running. Our Green TD just ignores my comments now on social media. Election Day will open his eyes his arrogance is shocking. Waterford definitely not in his heart!

The Greens are a major reason South Dublin wont get a metro for many many years. Im a former Green myself but couldn't touch them now.

Just looking at the list of candidates and cant see really much change happening

Tramore and Waterford; can see the Greens losing a seat here and a gain by SF.
Waterford City East; another Greens loss and anything could happen with transfers.
Waterford City South; think there is a SF loss on the cards here with Bailey, think Reinhardt or a Soc Dem will take a seat.

Will be great to see no green Cllr’s or MEP locally after this week. General Election will happen between Sept and November as there is potential for 4 by-elections to be held (November by law) if the European elections play out and generally government parties loose these so they wont risk it.
Greens will lose their seat to SF (McGuinness) with Shanahan’s seat a dog fight.

… indeed but Cullinane and Sinn Fein in general must be given huge credit for realising that appealing to hearts and minds, well the "minds" part anyway was a permanently losing strategy… and switching tactics to capitalise on the fact that the votes of the disaffected, the uneducated and also the terminally dumb count equally, so expect Cullinane's "lá" to "tiocfaidh" again. Quite comfortably too.

Shanahan the only Waterford TD that actually questions the shite we are being constantly subjected to by the current unholy trinity.

SF only interested in the "party"

Unfortunately nothing will change in Waterford at least shanahan annoys them.

sadly that's the best we can ask for with the level of representation we have, all more interested in the party than the actual electorate they are supposed to represent.

Hopefully a few surprises to the current status quo.

Cheers Dave 👍️

Only guarantee for the GE is Cullinane and Shanahan. Butler is 50/50 . I cannot see the Green TD retaining his seat especially now with the airport fiasco ongoing. He would be no loss anyway.

100%

Says the SF voter! Failed to decalre one property AFAIK. A mortal sin! I bet he paid water charges too and probably goes to mass on Sundays.

sickening to see all the people sucking up to the local candidates from government parties on Facebook . Have these people no memory or what !! They should all be wiped away in locals and general election with their fake and unfurfilled promises .

…maybe we should go with the fringe(extreme) newcomers, some seem to be well informed!

true enough, the ge is probably far more important, but that reality is, is looking very likely to be another ffg government, sf are screwed, many potential sf voters are running to the fringes, sf need every vote they can get, and thats currently looking very unlikely, so we better prepare ourselves…..
