A video from Ann Sweeney of the New Island Party who is running in the 2010 Donegal South West By-Election. The party is also looking for candidates to run in the Dublin South and Waterford by-elections (should they take place).
The party site is newislandparty.me
*I hopefully will have some leaflets from them soon.
From the 2010 Donegal South West By-Election a flyer for Fianna Fail candidate Brian Ó Domhnaill.
In the main, it flirts away from National issues and focuses on the Candidate.
This Finian McGrath ad is from the back of a programme for a Charity Greyhound Racing night in Harolds Cross a few months ago that I attended.
In the ad he promotes the thinkirish.ie website.
I was contacted by The Irish Democratic Party (IDP) with the below “Open Letter to the citizens of Ireland”.
Their Website is www.irishdemocrats.com and they are “looking to recruit members, both registered and volunteer, to contribute to the IDP’s drive to get recognised as a political party and indeed towards our policies”
From October 2010 a “No Slíabh Bán Wind Farm” Leaflet. Slíabh Bán is near Strokestown in Roscommon and there has been a campaign against the erection of the Wind Farm for the past while.
They have a Facebook page.
Many thanks to the sender.
A series of Anti Popes visit posters from the UK (with the final one being one from Australia in 2008). The posters are from the Protest the Pope website.
They are due to be used in a Protest on Saturday 18th September 2010 in London.
Dropped in the door during the week. Very lucky I spotted it as it was delivered in the middle of ten or so flyers from Double Glazing to pizzas. Only for the fact that I scour the junk mail looking for the likes of this it would have been in the Green Bin.
Amongst the articles are a competition to win a ‘Water Butt’, an explanation of the Free-To-Air Sports on TV a noble Iphone App for Autism at http://graceappforautismoniphone.blogspot.com/
There are other interesting items here too.

From the 2010 UK Election a leaflet for Independent candidate Sylvia Hermon running in North Down.She was easily elected.
Having been first elected in 2001 as an Ulster Unionist Party candidate, she quit the party in 2010 in protest at the UUP’s alliance with the Conservative Party. She is the widow of Sir Jack Hermon, former Chief Constable of the RUC.

A Poster for The Right to Work Campaigns 4th Rally to be held on June 1st 2010 at the Dail.
A quick shift away from the UK election stuff to an ASTI Ballot paper for Proposed Public Service Agreement (Croke Park Deal).
Nothing much too it, other than an awful lot of people never get to see Union ballot papers.
The ASTI document which outlines the reasons for recommending a rejection of the deal is here.
Not exactly Irish but I thought some were amusing, A number of Posters from ‘The Church of the Militant Elvis Party’ also known as the ‘Bus Pass Elvis Party’ . The Website is http://grumpyoldelvis.co.uk/ and there are plenty more posters there.
Dave Bishop is standing for the Party in Kettering..
From Jim Allisters Traditional Unionist Voice (TUV) a leaflet entitled ‘Towards Good Government’ , which translates as No Terrorists in Government. The other theme ‘aren’t the DUP delighted with themselves being in Office with Sinn Fein’.
I got sent this (many thanks) and whilst its full of words it’s the pictures that tell the story.
We have Ian Paisley snr whispering into the ears of an amused Martin McGuinness. Peter Robinson laughing with Martin McGuinness.
Jeffrey Donaldson having a laugh with Gerry Kelly. Ian Paisley Junior with both Kelly and McGuinness. The best though must be Ian Paisley Junior ‘joyriding’
with ‘convicted terrorist’ Conor Murphy.
Finally we have pictures of Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness, Adams with Alex Maskey up against Riot Police (not unlike Unionists at Drumcree) and Martin McGuinness at an Republican Funeral.
Another poster from the Kerry Public Service Workers Alliance (KPSWA) .
Government STOLEN your money? – Join the Kerry Public Service Workers Alliance.
Many thanks to the KPSWA for sending these on. These are images of the placards displayed at the recent protest outside a clinic of North Kerry Fianna Fail TD, Tom McEllistrim.
