No To EU Battlegroups -Connolly Youth Movement Lisbon Sticker
From the First Lisbon Referendum a Sticker from the Connolly Youth Movement.
“Rapists Out, Out, Out of ….” Poster from bus stop last week
I found this plastered to the bus stop last week and it has been put up fairly widely.
For legal reasons I’ve blacked out where it refers to as it may be a specific case.
I’m not sure who is behind it and am pretty sure it has nothing to do with Larry Murphy.
Sinn Fein anti Water Charges Leaflet September 11, 2010
I just think this is so simple and effective. They were left around shopping centres and were the same size as a 500 euro note!
Many thanks to the sender.
LEFTLINE -Radical analysis from the Irish Socialist Network -March 2006

Save Saint Luke’s Cancer Hospital Campaign Leaflet September 10, 2010
A recent leaflet issued by the Save Saint Luke’s Cancer Hospital Campaign.
Minister Harney announced in 2005 that St James’ Hospital would be the southside centre of excellence with the consequence that down the line St Luke’s would close.
In 2006, St Luke’s patient Joe Guilfoyle started a national campaign to save St Luke’s which quickly gathered members all over Ireland.
Supporters of the campaign are encouraged to meet their local Fianna Fail or Green TD to discuss the issue.
At Present St Luke’s is due to be wound down and closed in 2014.
The campaign is not affiliated to any political party.

Many thanks to the campaign for sending me this.

Sallins Fianna Fail News – Summer 2010
Recently posting an old Fianna Fail Cumman newsletter , prompted a few more recent ones to arrive.
This is the Summer 2010 Sallins Fianna Fail News.
Theres a few local issues, including flood prevention works. Many of you may remember parts of Sallins being flooded earlier in the year.
Ivor Callely urging a ‘Tattooing and Piercing info campaign’ -From 1999
Happened upon this 1999 press release from Ivor Callely where he urges a ‘Tattooing and piercing info campaign’
Given his current difficulties his press release sounds even more bizarre. There must have been an uproar at the time on Joe Duffy about Tatoos and Piercings.
Tánaiste Mary Coughlan and Fianna Fail TD Noel O’Flynn-Their websites from 1999 September 9, 2010
Have been doing a bit of messing around with the wayback machine….
Here’s the websites of two Fianna Fail TDs from 1999
A Link to Tánaiste Mary Coughlans Website from 1999
And A Link to
Noel O’Flynns Website from 1999
Not all links work and things may be slow to load…
To be fair Mary Coughlans site wasn’t too bad.
Dessie Larkin , Peter Patton -Independent Fianna Fail -2004 Letterkenny Town Council
From the 2004 Local Elections a leaflet for Independent Fianna Fail candidates for Letterkenny Town Council Dessie Larkin and Peter Patton. Dessie Larkin was elected but Peter Patton missed out.
Dessie Larkin is the son of former Independent Fianna Fail Senator James Larkin (1985 Leaflet here).
The aims and objectives of the party are fairly good. There’s little or no mention of the British presence in the North which was a mainstay of their early policies until the peace process.
“Pheww! That was close! ..” Anti Levonelle Leaflet from the Christian Solidarity Party in 2003
From 2003 A leaflet issued by the Christian Solidarity Party against the availability of Levonelle. Levonelle is a morning after pill that works up to 72 hours after intercourse.
There were arguments about if it was covered or not by the various Abortion Referenda. Where it was seen by many as a contraceptive it was thought of by Pro Life lobby as an ‘Abortion Pill’.
“Creating a Soccer Strategy” -A Response by the Northern Ireland Women’s Coalition September 8, 2010
From early 2002 a policy paper entitled, “Creating a Soccer Strategy” -A Response by the Northern Ireland Women’s Coalition.
“Creating a Soccer Strategy” were the conclusions of a ministerial advisory committee which was published in December 2001. The committee included amongst others Martin O’Neill, Sammy McIlroy, Bryan Hamilton, Gerry Armstrong and Billy Hamilton.
Upon its launch the then Sports Minister Michael McGimspey said his initiative was not aimed at short-term solutions.
“I want us to visualise where we would like to see soccer in 10-15 years from now, and beyond, so that together we can map the way ahead and put our football on a firm footing for the future.”
Things have possibly got worse since.

From April 2001 the Progressive Democrats Website. I found it using the wonderful archive.org which archives certain Internet sites.

It might be slow and not all links will work, but a blast from the past all the same.
Richard Boyd Barrett -Socialist Workers Party -2004 Local Elections Dun Laoghaire
From the 2004 Local Elections in Dun Laoghaire a leaflet for Socialist Workers Party candidate Richard Boyd Barrett. Boyd Barrett polled well but just missed out on missing a seat. In 2009 he won a seat on Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council running for People Before Profit Alliance.
‘One man and his dog’ -Eamon Gilmore -Democratic Left -1997 GE Dun Laoghaire.
One of my favourite Eamon Gilmore Leaflets. This one is from the 1997 General election when the then Minister of State for the Marine was running for the Democratic Left.
The casual picture of him walking the dog on the beach (Killiney beach?) to him purposefully strolling around the new ferry terminal in Dun Laoghaire.
There is also small pictures of him doing activities such as fishing and meeting people like Neil Kinnock.
The ‘NIREX dump’ refered to was a proposed underground nuclear waste dump near Sellafield.
