am in kerry, healy rae territory and last week every tree along the road bore the newbie, johnny, with untanned face..

three days later, no posters! wasnt me..wish i had been well enough..broad grins when i asked

word is that little johnnie will walk it and tales of favours being done for votes are rife.

sad. apple falling close to the tree....and not a mention of policies etc. just back scratching

The healy raes are all tanned from all the coco pops they eat.

Yeah, those posters would give anybody a migraine! It's the same all over the country but sure it's only local elections and its only for a few weeks every 5 years. Let them have their short time in the sun.

And I'm surprised you welcome an illegal act like removing legally erected election posters. Tut tut.

Living in a rural area, where few people canvas door to door, the posters are the only we have of knowing who is standing for election.

The important thing is to make sure you vote and therefore can have a say in which apple or tree actually gets a seat.

Johnny is a son of Danny. Seems this apple landed beside a different tree of the same species.

I pulled into a village in East Kerry last summer to take a piss. The Healy-Raes appeared to own the entire village. Pubs, shops, filling station, funeral home - the Healy Raes provided all you need from cradle to death.

interesting question indeed...cork was not happy but then i am not a city person. never went into cork itself.

kerry is great..a good house and a good landlord. he cuts wood for me etc. i do paperwork etc for them.

i have a small quiet role in the community here now. able to help others more. in my small way

up here amid the mountains.
always the utter beauty, always new roads to find.

very different from donegal somehow

love killarney too. i can cope with the traffic and know so many folk to chat to when i am shopping etc. people are friendlier down here. kinder. they stop to chat etc.

then there are the ex pats!!! oh my! but they are easy to avoid thankfully:rolleyes:

donegal was harsher. harder work. with a few notable exceptions of course;) have not forgotten the logs.


but this is a good place for me now.
