Flyer from Shane Ross about the proposed closure of the Motor Tax Office in Nutgrove Shopping Centre November 25, 2011
Picked this leaflet from Shane Ross up today outside the Motor Taxation Office in Nutgrove Shopping Centre. From talking to the gents manning the table with the petition its due to close by the end of December. Given the Shopping Centre is under enough pressure from having Dundrum in its vicinity, the closure can only put more pressure on the various outlets in the centre.
I was informed too that Ross is the only local TD taking an interest in the issue. He is the only opposition TD in Dublin South!

Jane Murphy -Christian Solidarity Party / Direct Democracy Ireland -Dublin South 2011 GE March 12, 2011
An unusual flyer this from 2011 Dublin South candidate Jane Murphy in that you have the candidate running for The CSP and also promoting another Party Direct Democracy Ireland. Oddly enough Raymond Whitehead also stood for Direct Democracy Ireland in Dublin South.

DDI would like to make it clear that the CSP is a COMPLETE separate organisation with COMPLETE separate people running it. Separate religious agenda – where DDI has complete none – TOTALLY SEPARATE people running it’s rules and constitution and separate founders. Separate headquarters and again separate head-office location.
