    She is a loon and having looked at the Kilkenny journal recently there seems to be a lot of them running for the Kilkenny council.

    To be fair, reading the kilkenny journal is like looking into a hole full of crazy
    Nobody should waste their time with it

    Absolute scutter. Such a shame that loon monopolised the title as it sounds legitimate. He must have recovered from his meltdown post the last referendum. Really hope the people of Callan/Thomastown district have more sense.

    The area is already a traffic nightmare [Nowlan Park, O'Loughlin Gaels club, St. Kieran's Cemetery, Aldis and the Industrial Estate, New Park shopping Centre and Lakeside, Linntown Hall and Bishop Birch Place all in that area] adding the mosque and their 2,000 person apartment complex [now under the guise of a hotel] is hardly hysteria whipped up over nothing.

    If I hear anymore about the traffic in that area I'll break another rib laughing. Apparently, you can hardly walk on some of the pavements in the area either because they're thronged with people. :D Apart from the matches or training sessions that area is great to get around. The only other black spot of traffic is the coming out of the industrial estate at the traffic lights and I'm being tongue-in-cheek with that. It's such a lame excuse.

    I'd love to see some concrete details on the link between the mosque and the hotel that you are talking about, John?

    As for Eugene, he scuttled around my estate dropping in leaflets but not knocking on the doors. When I saw my leaflet I whipped out the front door and he was across the road... our eyes met... he knew I was looking to speak to him and unlike every other politician running he turned tail and made himself busy with his leaflets. Any of the others on seeing an eager punter would have run across the road and made lengthy contact. I think he knew without me even speaking. :pac:

    Got a leaflet through the door from a Dolores Cahill
    Very sneaky candidate for this bunch of loons https://www.irexitfreedom.ie/

    Only mention she is anything to do with the party is the URL in the bottom right hand side of the leaflet on the back.

    I've since dumped the flyer but I note that the copy she has on her own website actually has NO mention what so ever of the Irexit crowd URL. (see below)
    Yet she is Chairwoman of the Party in question.

    Extremely underhanded dodgy tactics going on,

    Is the photo alone not a strong hint?!

    I'd also be curious what the answer to this is, :)

    My only thought is perhaps it was a stock photo, as a political party Irexit crowd have been previously found to use stock photos and make up people that didn't actually exist.

    The party claimed it was a false story, but their website did have her listed along with another stock photo candidate. Both were later removed.

    Just updates on KCLR with MAV & Sinead Burke; tune back into them at around 4:45pm before they go to the GAA.

    They're also updating it on their KCLR Facebook page.

    She should've concentrated on the locals; can't understand her logic of EP Elections; diluted her vote and will cost her a seat now.

    Duck me, the count is going to conclude tonight...probably. Imagine the turnout'd been higher????

    Carlow finished up round 6 or 7 O'Clock.

    Other places'll still be counting into a 3rd day.

    He will find somebody to agitate its in the blood. That Denis Hynes did well working around Freshford, Ballyragget last week heard a few people were impressed with him when he called to canvas.
