I'd imagine Healy will stand I haven't heard anything to suggest otherwise.

I’ll have to give him my 8 or 9, seeing as he sends out a cute little calendar every year!

Which you have probably more than paid for through taxation.

I used to think he was Phil Hogan’s love child after the way they went on about water metering.

I don't dispute most of the above, and hadn't necessarily realised his involvement in all of them, but the hydro plant in Silvermines has not been delivered and the original investors have pulled out

Are u sure about that ....I’m from the mines .i wouldn’t of been a Kelly fan before but no issue giving him a fairly high preference vote .he has delievered locally and I think the electorate will reward him for the jobs and money he has bought in

Yes I'm sure. And I'm not disputing his delivery locally in general in recent years, I just happen to know this about the hydro plant. I never liked him, but absolutely recognise the work he has done, getting in by the skin of his teeth in 2016 seems to have humbled him, as I have to say prior to 2016 I couldn't stomach voting for him.

I'm not local to his base, hence the question for Tipp voters as a whole.

The hydro scheme hasnt been in the news for over 2 years now

Surprised ff are running 3 candidates. No chance of them getting 2 seats

They’ll do well to keep the one they have. Two candidates would have been pushing things, but three will split the vote too much.

I see Jackie Cahills people lost the run of themselves with a ridiculous amount of posters in South Tipp.

Alan Kelly's people must trump that.
Every pole on the western road in Clonmel(bar 2) has a double sided Kelly poster.

I thought that maybe Cahill wouldn’t be so well known in South Tipp, hence the reason for the overkill. Kelly doesn’t have the same excuse!

Anyone know the address to send a RFA 3 form for change of address for the register?

I've contacted the Co Co and emailed them and no one seems to know.

I gave one to a local county councillor. it wasn't for me it was for a relative and she didn't have the declaration witnessed by a garda because the station is rarely open but sure we'll wait and see if a polling card comes.

Mattie McGraths trademark seems to be turning up a funerals and senior citizen events.
Turned up at a funeral I was at fairly recently and none of the mourners knew him whatsoever. Proceeded to take over in the kitchen with waffle talk and handshakes.

Just disrespectable behavior really.

julyjane

Would he even make himself useful and boil the kettle or wash up a few cups? He knows exactly what he's doing, I noticed that he turns up to as many local events as he can, opening of an envelope kind of things, but he always turns up just that little bit late so that he's noticed.

He's not my cup of tea personally but he has a huge team of supporters behind him

He wandered into a table quiz I was at last week perhaps round 7

Had a gander at the spread in the S.T Today why does Garret Ahearn refer to Mattie Mcgrath as "My Mattie"?, odd.
