Pembroke-Rathmines Local Election 2009

[bobby68]

You are in the heart of Dublin South East and also in the Rathmines - Pembroke City Council Ward

I am not being pedantic but I thought the official name is Pembroke-Rathmines? Are they interchangeable?

Stiofan,

You are very welcome to DSE and Pembroke-rathmines which is the name of the Electoral Area for Local Elections. As for being sarcastic, me, no way - I just have not got used to using those icons/figures whatever they are called. Of course my colleagues are wonderful and we are running a united team to win three seats. Hopefully i will get a few transfers from Mary and Oisin along the way. I am steering well clear of any ( if there is any) internal fights. I want to win a seat because 1) I am committed to Local Government. 2) I am committed to doing what i can to improve my area and the wider city of Dublin 3) because I think Labour Policies are best for the people and City of Dublin and 4) because I enjoy it and hope that I am good at it.
