JEFFREY DUDGEON’S SEANAD ELECTION DIARY
THE FIRST TEN DAYS
Nomination day
Thursday 3rd March, between 10 and 12, was nomination day at Trinity. After a couple of hours transcribing Roger Casement’s enormous Berlin diary in the National Library’s Manuscript Room in Kildare Street, I wandered down at 11 a.m. through the college’s Nassau Street entrance to hand in my papers.
Actually they had been posted earlier in the week for checking, and just needed my nod to be entered in the race. Or pulled.
Assentor issues
There had been something of a drama two days earlier with one of my assentors developing the notion of running himself and wanting to remove his name from the form. I had however taken the precaution of having a twelfth man, actually a lady, should any prove problematic.
I was conscious of such problems as I had previously signed up two assentors who were certain they were registered graduates only to discover they were graduates who had never registered.
“Don’t let them sweep your jobs aside!” -Fianna Fail ad for Sean Flanagan, Ray MacSharry 1984 European Elections
From the 1984 European Elections an ad for Fianna Fail Connaught Ulster candidates Ray MacSharry and Sean Flanagan, with a cartoon of Dick Spring and Garret Fitzgerald beside the headline “Don’t let them sweep your jobs aside!”
Both MacSharry and Flanagan were elected. MacSharry served as an MEP until 1987 when he resigned due to his appointment as Minister for Finance. Mark Killilea was co-opted to replace him.
You might also notice that Fianna ail were part of the “”European Progressive Democrats”

An unusual flyer from Independent Stephen Donnelly running in Wicklow in the 2011 General Election. He asks you to phone your friends looking for votes for him. I presume its a tactic imported from the US.
