To date, An Chomhdháil Phobail / The People’s Convention (www.cppc.ie) has twelve candidates contesting the elections in Cork.
CPPC is not a political party, has no whip system, and has no national executive dictating policies. By getting independendents elected to Council, the CPPC movement aims to dismantle the present vested interest political party stranglehold, enforced by a whip system, and give power back to local communities.
Candidates have signed a pledge (the PEOPLES CONTRACT), obliging elected representatives to engage in a consultation process with their local community on every issue to be voted upon at Council meetings and are duty bound to vote on the mandate of the wishes of their community.

The exhibition opened last night and it was a wonderful evening, many thanks to everyone who made it possible.
There’s a piece in The Irish Times and also in today’s Irish Independent .
Six months ago the idea of an exhibition of some of my collection at The National Print Museum was raised …… …. Tonight after much hard work by many the exhibition is being launched by An Taoiseach Enda Kenny.
It will be a far cry from the 18th of February 1982 when I collected my first leaflets outside the polling station as my parents voted. I started this site to try and show off the material I’ve gathered over the years. Since then the network of people who keep leaflets for me has grown. I started to get more material in, some in the post, some people sending scans of old and new leaflets. I pride myself on posting all ranges of Irish Political Ephemera from both the past and the present and the site being neutral politically.
It has been great fun and hard work selecting what to put in the exhibition. Trying to get a balance between parties, people, geography, gender and the issues of the time. Though I say so myself the exhibition looks spectacular. It is co curated by myself and Dr Ciarán Swan and the exhibition also has items from the CLR Left Archive .
I know those with any interest whatsoever in politics and indeed nostalgia will enjoy it.
More details on the exhibition here.
Some pictures I took over the course of the weekend as we set the exhibition up… There are more photos here
From the 1985 Local Elections a flyer for Sean Ardagh, the ultimate celebrity candidate Sonny Knowles, Gerrard Mullally and Seamus McGowan who were running for Fianna Fail in Terenure. Sean Ardagh and Seamus McGowan were both elected. I’ve included the result below also.
