1, 2 or 3?
Dublin North Central... no change
Bruton ...massively increased majority
Haughey reduced majority might take to the 3rd or 4th count but powerful cumann around these parts (although he might want to lose the adolf lookalike mustache)
McGrath to scrape in after fighting a rear guard action between 2nd FG candidtae (that HBAP assures me is running) and Labour
Outside chance with excellent vote mangement of an exra FG seat but unlikely
Callely to suffer badly (bad local campaign by his son caused much sniggering although posters were allegedly much sought after by non voting adolescent girls)
of course my opinion is based on current opinion polls
1, 2 or 3?
Now..now...secret ballot and all......although....Mitchell and Shatter.......!!!...depends who else is on the ticket!!
Will the SFer run??....he was quite impressive among the FG hype last time...apologies...cannot remember his name...!

Jim Carrey.
Just asked my hubby, Shaun Tracy.
Has to be either FG or FF. No other party has anything approaching a shot at the 5th seat. FG could easily come away with 3 seats here.
Economic Left/Right: 0.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.67
Not after the next election, he won't.....
"Elite - a small superior group; esp one that has a power out of proportion to its size." (Oxford English Dictionary)
The majority cannot therefore be the elite.
I think that's a bit of damage limitation by Crowe, to be honest. The local election was a disaster for him - the whole idea of running him as a single candidate in a 6-seater including Tallaght and Greenhills was to see him triumphantly top the poll, making his return to the Dail the obvious next step. To limp home the way he did, with just 12% of the vote, has seriously damaged him as a candidate. In that respect, I wouldn't be surprised to see Cathal King as the SF candidate.

Michael Fitzpatrick (FF): Even though he was McGreevy's pet, may struggle to get back with no real profile and the electorate finally waking up to the disaster that is FF in government - hopefully his seat will be taken by the excellent Cathrine Murphy Indpendent though FG could threaten here
Aine Brady(FF): Probably will get back in thanx to the hard core and the fact that she's always in the local papers saying nice things and has a nice smile
Bernard Durkin (FG): Uninspiring but should be returned given the swing to FG though a one or 2 younger upstart FG councillors from Naas could challenge
Emmet Stagg (Lab): Assuming he runs again, safe as houses
I don't like FF but I like this guy. He called around to the house when I lived in Leixlip out of the blue one day just to see how everyone was getting on. I didn't know him from Adam before then. Also he answers his emails promptly and gives straight answers. Not the answers one might want but he seems honest. If he wasn't FF he would probably get my no.2 vote
What else has she done besides smile and say nice things to the papers?Aine Brady(FF): Probably will get back in thanx to the hard core and the fact that she's always in the local papers saying nice things and has a nice smile
Never answers emails. I've never met him in person. I would lean towards voting FG but this guy will NOT be getting my vote
Will be getting my number1. vote.
Any word on any other candidates?

Your guess is as good as mine
PS: I'm not big into local politics so I can't really help you with your last question though I wonder myself what poor sod the Greens will put up
