“Maynooth Labour News June 1991” -John McGinley Labour 1991 Local Elections -Celbridge December 21, 2013
from the 1991 Local Elections for the Celbridge LEA “Maynooth Labour News” urging a number one vote for John McGinley. On the back it asks for a number 2 for Colm Purcell and a number 3 for Emmet Stagg. It has details of the ‘ROAR’ campaign (Repair our awful roads) , a picture of what was the public toilets in Maynooth and a few other local items.

“The Little Dublin 15 Calendar” from Michael O’Donovan- Labour -Mulhuddart December 17, 2013
A calendar produced by Labour councillor for Mulhuddart Michael O’Donovan “The Little Dublin 15 Calendar”. The Calendar has a different page for each month each with a photo from Dublin 15. Major dates are also marked in along with some religious festivals such as Palm Sunday. No mention of a date for the Local Elections next year though!
I gather the calendar was fairly widely distributed. Its a change from the normal one page calendar with a magnet that you stick on the fridge that some politicians send out.
Many thanks to the sender.
