Dublin 15 Local Election. D15.

Just a note that it's Fianna Fáil not Fine 😉

Where did you get the Green Party candidate for Blanchardstown Mulhuddart? None listed on the Green Party website?

seems like the green party once again struggled to find someone local in the blanch/mulhuddart LEA and had to move a candidate from another area.(The last green to run in that area was in 2004). According to his blog he is a 'green activist' in Dublin South Central and has contested elections in that area 3 times..

Also its not listed but Cllr Tania Doyle( ONGAR LEA) has stated she is running for election.. just saying as her name isnt there.

I can't believe Ruth Coppinger is throwing her hat in the ring. She has been MIA (missing in action) since losing her seat in the elections and yet she thinks that she has something to offer now?? And what do People before profit even offer? I think we have seen recently that they just turn whatever way the wind is blowing these days anyway

I had missed that, and had never heard of the Irish Freedom Party - a quick google shows me that their most prominent member is Hermann Kelly, and that's all I need to know. Again, I hope the people of Ongar aren't the hate-filled racist idiots that the IFP think they are.

Aoife is Ruth's niece and cut from the same cloth by the looks of it.

And Paul Donnelly's wife running for SF. I thought they were against cronyism and such?

I think Aoife Coppinger has been replaced by lKate Relihan, not sure why.

Angela Donnelly is a along time SF activist in her own right nothing crony about it.

Those posters are just creepy and no mention of him. A load of them up in a row in Blanchardstown village.

Ruth Coppinger will be an interesgting one to watch. Hard to see her taking a seat in Castleknock LEA. John Walsh, Siobhan Shovalan and Ted Leddy are all very active in the area. SF are likely to get one and while Walsh may be under threat it is hard to see where Coppinger will get support. SF obviously felt there wasn't enough left votes to run 2 candidates in the area.

From her posters she wants to sort Health and Education even though councils have no powers in relation to these.

All politicians do that, there's anger on issues in society and politicians will seek to reflect that. Most voters will not vote based on specifically how a candidate may or may not affect local government & governance. I'm no fan of RC while broadly on the same side politically but she isn't doing anything others will do and say.

Angela is a great local councillor, very hard working. Wouldn't be my politics and not in my LEA but at local election time my vote always goes to the councillors that actually work for the community, regardless of Party.

I still feel cheated being in the new Blanchardstown Mulhuddart LEA as there aren't many who tick the hard working box even now on our second local election round. Special shout out to the sitting councillor whose leaflet didn't spell Snugborough Road properly 🙄

Tiresome, uninformed nonsense. She's standing in Castleknock because she is the highest profile candidate they have and as a former TD has the best chance of being elected in the area where traditionally their base is weakest. None of their other candidates stand a chance of being elected there.

What did she promise?

She wears it lightly but yes I suspect that's how she would describe herself - what's your point?
