Jane Dillion Byrne, Eric Doyle, Jack Loughran, Philip Murphy -Labour Party -1985 Local elections Dun Laoghaire April 9, 2010


From the 1985 Local Elections in the Dun Laoghaire LEA. Labour Party candidates Jane Dillion Byrne, Eric Doyle, Jack Loughran and Philip Murphy. I think only Jane Dillion Byrne (who taught me to swim many many moons ago) was elected.

Jane Dillion Byrne was a founder member of Amnesty International in ireland.

Philip Murphy campaigned against payment of compensation by Local Authorities to disappointed developers.
