From March 2007 a newsletter from the then Minister for Children Brian Lenihan. The subject of the newsletter is Health and the advances in facilities in Dublin West.
These days it’s unusual to see him so delighted with spending money on anything.
A 2006 Newsletter from then Minister for Children Brian Lenihan. The theme of the Dublin West Fianna Fail TDs newsletter was “Making Ireland Greener and Cleaner”
Amongst the issues covered were Recyling, Sellafield, Bio Fuels etc. It was part of an effort by all parties to show they had a Green agenda to stifle the Green Party.
Like many such party newsletters they have similar content with just the TDs details and a bit of local information added.
As its large I’ve uploaded the newsletter in *.pdf HERE. … or click on the image below to open the newsletter.
I thought the recent Young PD ones I posted were bad…… then along came this.
It’s on the Ogra Fianna Fail Website and facebook pages.
Shocking!
They’ll be dressing them up in drag next.
Funny thing is that the slogan on the poster for the actual movie is way more apt.
“There is no Plan B”
Many thanks to the donor…
In an effort to highlight the disgraceful behaviour of the Leinster House establishment and the business class with regard to the NAMA saga, éirígí has launched a satirical version of the 1916 Proclamation…..
The generic Fianna Fail leaflet that went through the doors at election time throughout the country for the 2007 General Election. Here we have Brian Lenihan and Gerry Lynam running for Fianna Fail in Dublin West. Little or no detail about the candidates. A letter from Bertie Ahern telling us about the Next Steps.
The now Minister of Finance Brian Lenihan topped the poll and was elected on the first count.
In 1990 Brian Lenihan was the favourite for the Presidency…… Pee Flynns championing of stay at home mothers, the “on mature recollection” statement about phone calls in 1982 and other happenings led to the loss of the Presidency for the first time ever by Fianna Fail. Mary Robinson became our first female president.
It also ended Lenihans Ministerial career as the PDs called for his head on a plate…. and Charlie duly obliged..
The Below doc has a lovely photo of Lenihan lovingly gazing at Haughey…. the man who would sack him months later. In the family photo you may spot Conor Lenihan with hair and a young Brian junior amongst others.
