Irish Election Literature

… what you maybe meant to keep…

Niall Blaney – Independent Fianna Fail -2002 GE September 14, 2009


After Neil T. Blaney’s brother, Harry Blaneys defeat in the 1996 by-Election, Independent Fianna Fail easily won back the seat the following year with Harry Blaney again as candidate.

Harry retired in 2002 and it was his son Niall Blaney who successfully stood for  Independent Fianna Fail.  The third generation of Blaneys to be elected to the Dail.

After negotiations, Independent Fianna Fail rejoined the Fianna Fail mothership in 2006.  So this would be some of the last General Election literature produced by the party. The party literature I have always uses orange as the background.  (I’ve more that I will post in due course)

“People and Planet Before Profit” anyone?

 

*Catherine stood for Sinn Fein in the 2009 Bray Town Council elections.

E-Voting Election Leaflets and ‘Electronic Voting Its Easy’ Pamphlet


These are interesting in that they are related to elections conducted by e-voting.

Joe Reilly gives a sample Ballot paper and instructions on how to use the machines.

Whilst Mary Wallace wants you to ‘Press the right Button’

And while we’re at it, the e-voting pamphlet that was sent out to each household in e-voting areas.
