Willie O’Dea when he was William O’Dea. Again not an election leaflet (like the Pat Cox one posted recently) but I thought would be of interest. Its from the run up to the 1981 General Election where William O’Dea has been selected on the Fianna Fail ticket in Limerick East. He failed to win a seat but won a seat in the February 1982 election.
Many thanks to the sender.

    His political career amounted to a big fat nothing, only achieving a relatively minor position in the previous disgraced government.

    Far better for the country if O’Dea had stayed at home on the farm. He might (possibly) have made a half decent local county councilor, but that would be the absolute limit of his political talent,
