From the 1985 Local elections, an unusual flyer from Fine Gaels Noel McDonagh who was running for a seat in Tramore. Unless you knew the candidate, it would be a difficult enough crossword.
Noel McDonagh polled 371 votes and failed to win a seat.
Many thanks to the sender.

From the 1985 Local Elections , Workers Party candidate Sean Walsh who was running in the Piltown LEA. Walsh was elected on the first count with 1,145 votes. He first won a seat in the 1974 Local elections and was returned again in the 1979 Local Elections. He stood in a number of General Elections as well as the 1979 European Elections.
The closure of Clover Meats which was based in Ferrybank and closed in 1984 is a big issue for Walsh. Was something amiss with the closure?

From the 1985 Local Elections a sample Ballot paper issued by Independent Fianna Fail for Letterkenny UDC. The candidates were Tadhg Culbert, James Larkin, Hugh Dorrian and Jim Lynch. (A leaflet from them with details of the candidates is posted here)
Of the other Non Party candidates Patrick J Blake, Charles Grant and Sean Maloney ran for The Community Party, whilst James Devenney ran for the Donegal Progressive Party which attracted a Protestant vote.
From the 1985 Local Elections a personal letter from Liam Kavanagh Minister for the Environment to the Voters of Bray.
In it he mentions money being provided for amongst other projects the Bray/Shankill By-Pass. Reading it reminded me of those horrendous tailbacks at Shankill and Little Bray.
For the Council the Labour candidates were John Byrne, Barbara Hyland (who later stood as an Independent) and Nancy Mahony running for Wicklow County Council and Paddy Mooney and Siobhan Turner joining them on the ticket for the elections to Bray UDC.
Many thanks to the Sender.
From the 1985 Local Elections a leaflet for Sinn Fein candidate Sean Gallagher running for Letterkenny UDC.
Unemployment, Emmigration and Housing are amongst the many issues covered in the Leaflet.

From the 1985 Local Elections a leaflet for Independent Socialist Candidate Paul Dolan running for Cavan UDC. Paul Dolan had previously stood for the Socialist Labour Party.
Many thanks to the sender who notes..
“He was elected in 85 and served 9 years declining to run again. He joined Labour in 1991 and ran for Cavan county council (Cavan area) in the same year failing to take a seat with 340 votes, a feat which the local Anglo Celt newspaper described as outstanding for Labour.He declined to renew his membership of Labour around 95. He was also involved in the local H Block/Armagh group and the Gralton Labour History Committee.”
The Leaflet gives a taste of the times ….
From the 1985 election for Greystones Town Commission a Letter to voters from Labour candidates Joe Sweeney, Mallie Jacobsen and Shay Monaghan.
They write that…
“The day is long gone when the “Wool can be pulled” over the Electorates eyes, with (we will do this and we will do that) if elected.”
Aslo that the local Labour TD and Minister Liam Kavanagh has “…shown his interest in our Town, by the many projects now in progress and those in the pipeline..”
I’m not too sure which of the candidates were elected.
From the 1985 Local elections a letter to voters from Fine Gael candidate Muriel O Tiarnaigh. Muriel O Tiarnaigh failed to get in. I think her colleagues Michael Joe Cosgrave and Joan Maher were elected.
Muriels husband the late Riocard O Tiarnaigh was well known in sailing circles and there is a race the ‘Riocard O’ Tiarnaigh Challenge’ named after him.
Muriel was a member of the influential Womens Political Association.
From The 1985 Local Elections a leaflet for Bertie Ahern. He was elected and in 1986 served as Lord Mayor of Dublin.
The Full Time Constituency office would not have been St Lukes which was bought in 1987.
Aside from all his various interests and positions held his advice clinics are listed.
