Their must be more than 92 their local FG councilor spent 4000 euro on his mobile according to the same paper and made a loss of 1445 euro

is this really true
must be joking

That is what is in the paper FG locally are very upset and refused to talk to the Cavan Echo who then contacted FG headquarters who surprise surprise did not talk to them seems to be a very sore subject 92 votes in local elections is a lot of votes to lose

As a matter of interest, which FG councillor is it?

[Darren Mac an Phríora]

I'd be very surprised if this was true. Even if it was 20 members and their families I would still find it hard to believe...

Is Seán McKiernan not the head honcho up there for them ?? id be surprised if this is true, although you get this crap every time there is an election someone don't get picked and they start throwing their toys out of the pram and go INDO one of the big failings of FG is they don't give these people a boot up the backside and throw them out of the party when they pull stunts like this.

92 members is nuts. Seriously. In a local electoral ward? The convention for my ward in Dublin had a third of that for a Quorum.

[An Gilladaker]

what was their reason for the deslike of candidates, was there a bad history in the candidates past, they must have a reason
