pat bowe a shinner ? cause im certainly not .
you never answered my question's where you running in the upcoming election ?
I've already answered that one for you lads.
Moloney is standing in the Portlaoise LEA for the Council seat and in Mountmellick for the Town Council seat.
Moloney seems to be quick off the mark denying everything else. (Lets now have a close look at a certain planning issue in Port). If he denies my crystal ball gazing on his impending election announcement, then we'll know him for exactly what he is, a total out and out, distortion of the truth teller (Can't call people liars, now can we)?
BTW my people inside the Moloney camp/s are never too far wrong.
People like cllr Maloney should not be in politics. He is devious, sneaky little runt. That planning issue will come back to bite him on the arse.
I do have a great laugh at him when he writes about the shinners in the papers. People are able to make their own minds up about them and they see through this gob********************e trying to score some points locally. I think a lot of it is jealousy of how well Brian Stanley is geting on in Portlaoise. Sad sad Man
Looking at the FF, sorry Moloney stragety. Stand in Mountmelick TC and stand in Portlaoise LEA council area.
It's blantly obvious that these moves are an attempt by his party (sorry former party) to try and put the skids on the Sinn Féin party machiine in both areas.
Won't work though. With FF's low ratings nationally having an effect on the doorsteps in both Mountmellick and Portlaoise, no matter where Moloney stands, his party (sorry again, his former party) has flucked up big time. He might scrape a seat in the Mountmellick TC area, but will fall flat on his face in Portlaoise as will his party, (oh did I say that again, oh sorrrrryyyyy).
Michael Moloney should not have to much trouble getting elected to Mountmellick town council. If he stands for the county council in another area the people of mountmellick might see this as been a bit cynical but I doubt it will be enough to see him loosing out for the TC.
Now if he runs in the Portlaoise LEA its shows how desperate he is. He will meet serious resistence from all quarters. ( I would use the term electoral wipeout ).But lets wait until the decision is made. I will give the mammys boy of laois politics the interesting scenario that awaits him!!
Michael Moloney should feel right at home on Mountmellick TC if he gets elected. FF have had control of Mountmellick TC for nigh on 20 years I believe. They sat there and let the town go downhill in every respect and John Moloney TD living in the town. Not one of the FF councillors ever had the guts to go against party politics and put their home town first. With the population of Mountmellick now so high with all the houses
FF cronies built (half of them empty) NO effort was ever made to bring a supermarket to that town. An empty "Business Park" on the edge of the town is the FF/PD legacy for
Mountmellick.
Thats a particularly black and white view you have here - and sounds quite bitter if you ask me? Take off your blinkers...do you live in the Mountmellick area? There were numerous attempts to bring supermarkets into the town. Supervalue was to come in directly across the road from John Moloney's pub...but was objected to by local shopkeepers. There was talk of another supermarket opening up in the unit directly opposite the square...again opposed by Costcutters.
And the old textile factory was knocked to facilitate a retail unit including a supervalue but it's not going ahead now due to the current climate.
Mountmellick's unfortunate geographical position means that most of its locals go to Portlaoise and Tullamore to do their big shopping - this has ALWAYS been the way. It's far cheaper to do so. This is the reason many of the smaller supermarkets and shops have closed down...
To simply attribute blame to ANY political party for this is absolutely ridiculous.
P.S. If FF had (somehow) brought in supermarkets over the past few years you'd be giving out about them closing down in the near future. If you were to walk into any of the small number of supermarkts and shops in Mountmellick you'll see that they're barely ticking over. So how can you justify an argument that there should be more? It seems like your ranting and talking nonsense to me...
Sinn Fein have very little chances of gaining a seat on the Mountmellick local elections. Stephen Lynch is well known locally and I know him personally and have to say that i have good time for him. However, Mountmellick is, and has always been, a FF town and I find it hard to see traditional FF voters, however disaffected they may find themselves, voting for Sinn Fein.
Jim O' Brien of Labour is a good candidate - he's done a lot of work with the MDA and I'd consider giving him a vote. I'd like if he got in but again find it hard to forsee. Although, in my opinion, he has a stronger chance of gaining votes from swing voters and disaffected ffers than any SF candidate. FACT.
It's no accident that senior FF town commission and county councillors are venting their utter rage and frustration at not getting the party nomination to run in the local elections. The majority of them are running as independents - and all of them have expressed anger at FF for the 'betrayal'.
Call me cynical but it seems like none other than a cunning plan to run new, younger dummy candidates who haven't a hope of getting in (take that Talitha Horan girl who's running in mountmellick as the obvious example) and having the voters vent their frustration at those FF candidates.
This sees the senior, long-serving, now 'Independent' town councillors and county councillors possibly retaining their seats as Ind FF, or perhaps even rejoining the party in the future when they get elected - the latter being a move that would be particularly dishonest.
It's hard to see the senior FF t.c.'rs and c.c.'rs losing their seats if they run as independents...given the particular mentality of negativity towards change among the older, traditional voters.
You seem to know alot about mountmellick. Can I ask is that which electoral area you will be voting in?
