This is one of the oddest looking leaflets I have. Not too many candidates have drawings of themselves on their leaflets. Coughlan polled 87 votes.
Tony Kett -Fianna Fail -1991 and 1985 Local Elections September 24, 2009
The Late Tony Kett from the 1991 and 1985 local elections. Kett was an integral part of the ‘Drumcondra Mafia’ and of course served in the Seanad. The Leaflet from Bertie is interesting in that it outlines their friendship also doesn’t give the other candidates much of a look in either.
The Community Party -Letterkenny UDC 1985
I know nothing about this Party or its policies. Sean Maloney later joined the Labour Party and then Fine Gael.
Letterkenny has another small party these days represented on the council “The Letterkenny Residents Party” which I have no literature for but would love to get some. I gather they may be a break away from The Socialist Party.
Leaflet from Tony Gregory -1985 Local Elections -North Inner City September 23, 2009
The late Tony Gregory spent 25 years in the Dail, yet it was for “The Gregory Deal” in his first term that many remember him most for. He was an avid community activist and worker, staunchly anti drugs and was jailed for his stand with the Street traders. This leaflet is from the 1985 Local elections.
