Two years out at this stage what are your thoughts - who will be the winners and losers ? Who is running, who is performing, who is not etc.

Current make up:
FF: 2
FG: 2
SF: 2
Non party: 3
rumour has it that adian pendelbury is considering running ,very popular they say ,may do well,take it he will run as an independent
It will me more or less as you were, but I reckon independent Phil O' Regan, the woman who was mayor 2 years in a row after they decided to shaft Cionnaith O' Súilleabháin., will lose her seat. All the main parties should keep their 2 seats, if not quite the same personnel. I think Aidan would probably get elected if he ran. However, in town council elections 2 years is very early to know who will and won't run.
"John Bull has got his hand down your pants and his fist around your bollox and you can't see it."
phil will retain her seat ,she bussed the non national workers from the chicken factory to vote for her in 04 ,shes a banker ,rock solid ,only party change might be ff to gain a seat ,giving them three seats ,and sf to drop from two seats to one ,ff had three quotas in 04 ,but they didnt manage their vote well at all.fgs two seats look safe.
as far as i know clon tc has had only 4 female councillors in 109 years ,its time women voted for women ,local elections are different to general elections ,lets put more women in.
Anyone from Labour or the Greens making a breakthrough there? How about the SWP :mrgreen: ? did they not have a branch down there once?
no ,never heard of the socialist workers party having a branch in clonakilty,though i knew of one member locally.
greens havnt a prayer ,especially after going in to goverment with ff,labour havnt stood a candidate since 1994 ,she was not elected,they havnt had a candidate elected since 1979 i believe ,micheal o regan ,a sitting councillor was with labour for a time sometime between 1999 and 2004 election ,but left the party ,he has always been electd as an independent ,the longest serving councillor at present,elected in 1985,perhaps aidan pendelbury would stand for labour?
Seamus O Brien ,Fianna Fail not standing in 09 ,rumour has it,John Loughnane to stand instead ,a first time candidate.
