    Complete fabrication and also his daughter - shock, horror has the same name as him Maria Bailey not Marie Baker who is running in Blackrock.

    He'll take a seat & top the poll again, Maria could end up on a Dail ticket with Eugene Regan next time, although it all depends on the Locals

    I think Blackrock will maintain status quo.

    1 Lab
    1 FG
    1 FF

    Then either Boyhan or the green candidate.

    Gilligan and Conway are at each other hammer and tongs apparently in the FF camp.

    I hope they have hired a private room. Public displays of such intimacy are impolite.

    Tony Kelly (who lost his seat narrowly last time) got Fox's spot. It would hardly have been credible for FF to select Fox after he got named on Frank Dunlop's charge sheet. Kelly wins the prize for the smallest FF logo on his poster. It's tiny, and fades into the background.

    Corish's photo shouts 'I'm smug, I'm smug' and the posters are mostly very low. Expect the messers and graffiti artists to be playing games with them over the weekend.

    I would not rule this out. JB is running a solo campaign as is his daughter-Maire Bailey not Baker by the way. We have had negotiations with this clan but the price was too high.

    Double correction, she's Maria Bailey
    If engineers were wrong as often as economists, would anyone fly aeroplanes?

    Does anyone know if the greens have a candidate in DL? I didnt see any posters for them over the weekend. (There were lots for Kivlehan around Cabinteely and Johnstown) Boyd Barrett has a couple of hundred up.

    There is a huge problem with GP posters. I'm surprised it's not all over this site.
    You will see them this weekend.
    If there is a future, it will be Green.

    Were they not printed in time?

    Corish has Dundrum covered but nout in Glencullen-Sandyford whilst Davidson is clearly using her GE posters again, something I think is good & makes sense given she is a Green etc

    Seemed to politicians & politico's everywhere over weekend at various local events
