    Not selected yet but I believe Sean Kelly, former president of the GAA will be running for FG in Ireland South.

    I think the FG Euro conventions won't be until the spring. The locals have to be done before the end of the year as far as I know.

    One aspect that is also worth keeping an eye on are the alternate races. Some people might be interested in those while not having the capacity to run for the main event this time out.
    Dan Sullivan. I was back but we still couldn't all have a vote.

    Hopefully we'll see FF and the Greens wiped out (and hopefully FG too)

    Alas, I can only work with what's posted. I don't have the time to follow each and every other race so I have to rely on posters to give me this information.

    Also, spring? Leaving it rather late aren't they? From what I hear one group has already started canvassing in Dublin.

    I appreciate your looking for names of candidates, but this is essentially a comment web site for political discussion.

    I don't know why we have European Elections, because they mean absolutely nothing, most of our MEP's are out of sight, and only three or four appeared
    during the current Lisbon crisis to voice their baised views in support of another referendum. We have 13 MEP'S a together and they cost us €9500 a month for what????????????????????????????

    To represent us in the European Parliament. And if you don't like the current ones, you can always vote for someone else next time round.

    I imagine Jim Nicholson will be selected for the UUP and Jim Allister for the TUV in Ireland North. Who knows who the DUP will choose.

    Ben Dunne is going whichever way the wind blows. Since the fuss over DG & Libertas turned out to be a storm in a teacup he has gone all quiet again. Though his credibility is shot now.
