    I'm hoping to pull together a useful cheatsheet to put on my website soon. It will hopefully allow you to select a constituency and see all those running there. Clicking on a candidate will then give you a little information about that person. It's all going to be very simple but hopefully a useful reference for people unsure of who is running in their area.

    My question is what information about a candidate is important to put up there? What are the key pieces of information? Age? Education? Party? Contact details?etc Your help is much appreciated.

    Whether they've previously served in the Dail/Senate or have been in an MEP.
    Also if they currently hold a position in the party, like Justice Spokeperson or whatever.
    Looking forward to it

    I think candidates party history would be good given recent events and likely upcoming events.

    When they switched and who they supported in recent confidence motions if its known.

    For incumbents, attendance records and if possible how they voted on items. Links to their personal website.
