European Elections

[MacCoise]

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.

Alban Maginess is running for the SDLP

[MacCoise]

and Kathleen Funchion i srunning for SF in EAST as well as Sharkey

Funchion to stand in European election - Kilkenny Advertiser - October 09, 2008.

What we are saying is that our MEP should represent us but not to screw us as our representative and it's about time they apologize instead of having sleepless night!

[Bobert]

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.

Maybe so, but I really want him to run. He could bring quite a bit of fun to the elections.

That's all good and well, but, if you wer ein anyway intelligent, you'd realise that I'm trying to cover the Republic of Ireland. Not England. You tool.

The "north" is not in England, you tool.

Speculation that Cllr. Pádraig MacLochlainn will run for the provos in north west. He was their national spokesperson on Lisbon. Their candidate the last time is now a senator.

I wasn't aware we had a North West Constituency... Do you perhaps mean Ireland west?

[MartinP]

Sorry. Typo.

The slate of SF Euro candidates:

Kathleen Funchion (East)
Mary Lou McDonald (Dublin)
Toireasa Ferris (Munster)
Padraig MacLochlainn (West).

All are excellent.

It is surely reasonable to hope that SF representation will increase. On the back of Lisbon as well as other reasons.
