A kind soul has sent me a number of Local Election Results that are currently unavailable online. At the minute the fabulous electionsireland.org has most of the 1991 LE with all of the 1999, 2004 and 2009 results.
I’m going to start with the Local Election Results from Dublin City Council and Dublin County Council for the 1967 , 1974, 1979,1985, 1991, 1999, 2004 and 2009 Local Elections with many count details.
Its in excel format , if there is an interest I’ll add some more.
I’ve leaflets for many of these Local Election candidates posted. Alas I’ve it done by year as opposed to year / area.
The Actual Results……

This is slightly off the beaten track election wise. I didn’t even know there was an election for Provost of Trinity until I was contacted and asked if I’d like some leaflets from that election (Many thanks to the sender). I’m fairly sure the electorate is fairly small but thought this might be of interest.
This is a leaflet from Jane Ohlmeyer, currently the Erasmus Smith’s Professor of Modern History at Trinity College Dublin, which was part of her campaign to become Provost.
I’ve leaflets from other candidates which I’ll post in due course.
Was sent this lovely clipping. Its not quite Election material but I thought it might be of interest all the same. Its a report from the Limerick Leader (I Think) of Pat Cox moving up to Dublin for the big job in RTE. Mentions his unsuccessful candidacy for Fianna Fail in the 1979 Local Elections in Limerick.
Apologies if its hard to read and many thanks to the sender.
A Poster for Independent candidate John McKenna who is running in Kerry North West Limerick. I gather McKenna did not produce any leaflets.
His Website
From the 2011 General Election campaign a leaflet from Socialist Party MEP Joe Higgins running in Dublin West. Higgins is tipped to regain the seat he won in 2007.
Many thanks to the sender.
The front page of The Carlow People Newspaper (many thanks to them for sending it on) with a plea to “”Keep it Carlow”.
Similar headlines will be appearing up and down the country this week in Two County Constituencies.
For all the National we are still very much local.
From the 2011 General Election campaign a flyer from Independent candidate Rotimi Adebari running in Laois Offaly. In 2004 Rotimi Adebari was elected to Portlaoise Town Council and served as Mayor in 2007.
HE was re-elected in 2009 and was also elected to Laois County Council on the same day.

Having been interviewed in studio last week… The first little slot recorded with my full collection of material was broadcast last Friday….
From the 2011 General Election a letter to voters from Fianna Fail candidate in Dublin Central Mary Fitzpatrick. Unlucky to lose out in 2007 she is the Fianna Fail front runner in Dublin Central this time around.
Says a few things of interest in the letter.
A poster for John Hyland the “Independent ‘Write In’ National Candidate” for the forthcoming 2011 General Election.
John is hoping people write his name at the top of ballot papers all over the country.

Somehow someone has confused me with Fianna Fail Tipperary North TD Marie Hoctor…. Not that theres anything wrong with that…..
Something totally different, some of a batch of Sarah Palin and anti Obama bumper stickers I got in an airport in the US last November. What struck me was the fact that these were for sale in an airport.
I’ll post the rest of the batch at a later date.
Firstly many thanks to the sender. An ad for Labour candidate Phil Prendergast running in South Tipperary. Clonmel based Prendergast is tipped by many for a seat and has been active in the campaign to save Clonmel Hospital.
From the forthcoming General election a poster for Fianna Fail Limerick candidate Niall Collins.
I thought the colour scheme was unusual for Fianna Fail.
He has a decent sized FF logo to be fair.
Many thanks to the avid readers who pointed out the Thomas McEllistrim leaflet sans FF logo posted here earlier this week had made its way into The Irish Mail on Sunday on January 9 2011.
They got the bones of a full page article from the leaflet but failed to mention the leaflets source. It would be nice if they did.
