![]() Joe Re-elected, Clare Robbed Well, Joe Higgins was re-elected in Dublin West, as we had hoped. Congratualtions Joe!!! Keep up the good fight. But I extend m,y deepest sympathies to Cllr. Clare Daly, who narrowly missed out on election (something like 700 votes). From one Newbridger to another, I'm very sorry Clare. But on the positive side, well we nearly got a second Dail seat, so there is some hope, and Nora Owen lost her seat! As for our other candidates, Mick Barry in Cork North Central polled something in the redion of 900, Mick Murphy in Dublin S/W got 1200ish, and Lisa Maher in Dublin South got about the same. The SWP and Workers Party polled a bit respectably, Tony Gregory was re-elected, as was Seamus Healey in Tipp South, and I think two or three Independent Health Alliancers were elected. At the present time, the Shinners look like getting 5/6 and the Greens 4. Fine Gael have collapsed and Labour appear to be a spent force also. So we can look forward to 5 more years of Chairman Bertie and his axis of evil. Wonder when they'll try and force 'Nice: The Return', down our necks? |
