‘Has Someone Promised You the Sun the Moon and the Stars Recently?….’ -Dan Sullivan – Fine Gael -2004 LE Artane June 9, 2010


From the 2004 Local Elections a wonderful leaflet from Fine Gael candidate (and now well known blogger) Dan Sullivan who was running in the Artane Ward.
An eye catching front with a decent line ‘Has Someone Promised You the Sun the Moon and the Stars Recently? When all you want is the Earth’
Some interesting proposals such as CAB money being ringfenced for Drug Rehab and related projects.
He polled 278 votes and failed to get elected.
Many thanks to the sender.

From the 2004 Local Elections a leaflet from Fine Gael candidate (and now well known blogger) Dan Sullivan.
Its a clever enough leaflet with the “Politicians Don’t Listen…” on the front and the “Test MY Listening Skills….” on the reverse.
He polled 278 votes and failed to get elected.
Many thanks to the sender.
