Youghal Town Council - Elections 2009

[Rebelman]

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.

[Rebelman]

Current make up:

FF: 3
SF: 2
FG: 2
GP: 1
Non Party: 1

Dave Savage will hold for sure and probably challenge for a CC too.

would a disabled candidate poll well

depends on who they are are, what their issues are, whether they are a party candidate or not and where in Youghal they live

[eastcorklocal]

true any ideas

Does anybody know why Sandra Mclellan was selected to run in the GE rather than Martin Hallinan?

Picking young, realtively attractive, female candidates seemed to be a Sinn Fein policy in the last election.

Or maybe, in the knowledge that a seat wasn't likely to happen, they opted to raise the profile of their most vulnerable councillor.

Hallinan is a member of Cork CC and would have been known to the electorate. I think SF made a mistake in opting for McLellan.

i dont think he wanted it
