don't know about that. Maybe his soon Cllr. Chris MacManus might run. Neither have a chance of getting a seat.
Loks like Gabriel Mcsharry will be the Labour candidate.
My understanding from Shinners in the area is that his son Cllr Chris MacManus wouldn't be too popular a choice and wouldnt get the full backing of the local organisation.
McSharry would be a strange Labour choice. He's from North Leitrim, I think, and as such would receive f all in the main urban area, Sligo town.
McSharry is seeking a nomination as a second Labour candidate.Originally Posted by PaulHarte
He could in fact win the Selection Convention, requiring the NEC to name a second Sligo-based candidate.
Cawley, McGarry, Bree and McSharry will all seek the primary nomination, but because the Sligo-based candidates supporters all hate each other, the nuances of PR-STV could throw up McSharry as the winner!

Mm, Labour with too many candidates & the Shinners without any.
Why don't Labour give Bree to the Shinners, & thus ease the problems of both sides? :wink:

Martin Kenny is one of the finest SF reps in the country from Ballinamore Leitrim, has impressed me for a number of years.
Kenny is from South Leitrim, and will probably run in Roscommon-South Leitrim.

Martin Kenny is a great Councillor and will be an excellent candidate. I have great time for him.
You're not Gerry Reynolds by any chance, are you?
