"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Hon. Edmund Burke MP
Drjim you're forgetting Terence Flanagan, Artane.
The new cllr nominees are usually decided by the membership - in FG at least.
However, the councils actually have to vote for them.
Dan Sullivan. I was back but we still couldn't all have a vote.

I am highjacking this,
Dublin City Council Co-options are.....
Terence Flanagan - Who?
Lucinda Creighton - Who?
Gerry Breen - Possible Senator.
Tony Smithers - Let you know next week.
Chris Andrews - Who?
Catherine Byrne - Who?
Lucinda Creighton - Paddy McCartan
Chris Andrews - probably Pat Bunce (Garry Keegan running mate from '04)
The word 'politics' is derived from the word 'poly', meaning 'many', and the word 'ticks', meaning 'blood sucking parasites
I wouldn't touch co-option if you paid me! It is an uphill struggle always. Better to be a fresh candidate with a platform rather than go in mid stream and try to hang on.
Even worse is the fact I was co-opted from outside the PDs in 2002 and thought everything would be fine. Once I got into the PDs I realised I wouldnt fit in, didnt like the people, policies, attitude or back slapping.
I would advise anyone with an eye on a political career to avoid co-option. If you are happy to tread water for a couple of years and wouldn't worry if you lose in a couple of years, go for it. But be certain, very very certain you know what you are getting into!!
Cavan Deserved Another TD!
i refused co-option in waterford and won a seat 8 months later. (2 years is plenty to make an impact. anyone with a co-option offered to them should take it)
catherine byrne will probably be replaced by p o neill I kid you not you would think he would be the one replacing tony s.Originally Posted by iceman
P as in Peter? Not a bad choice.
