Flyer for the Fine Gael candidates Clonmel Corporation from 1961 May 30, 2016


From I assume 1961 a flyer for the Fine Gael candidates running for Clonmel Corporation. Denis Burke has a Park in Clonmel named after him. There were two different Patrick Fitzgeralds on the ticket along with Edward Gahan, Patrick O’Callaghan, Patrick O’Connor , Martin Slater and Michael White.
I’m not sure which of the candidates were elected although the ‘E’ beside their names may indicate that they were elected.
