“Pension Disgrace Your Choice” – Liz Murphy -Fianna Fail -Waterford City East May 21, 2014

A message that your pension (What type of Pension I wonder) wont be cut if you vote Fianna Fail from Liz Murphy who is running for Fianna Fail in Waterford City East.
I’m not quite sure what other than scaremongering is the issue here as Local Councils would not be known for controlling Government pension policy. What pensions is she talking about either?

“Mary Fitzpatrick is seeking your No.1 Vote for David Costello” Fianna Fail -Cabra-Finglas May 20, 2014

Filed under: Fianna Fail — irishelectionliterature @ 5:55 pm
Tags: , , , ,

A leaflet put out by Fianna Fail Cabra Finglas candidate David Costello that says that Mary Fitzpatrick urges voters in the Navan Road/Cabra area to vote him No 1 (this is going out in fellow Fianna Fail candidates: Paul Anthony Ward and Darren Lehane’s backyard). I’m not sure if the leaflet is authorized and there’s great irony in quoting Mary Fitzpatrick considering that she was shafted by Bertie with leaflets urging transfers to Cyprian Brady rather than her in 2007
