I saw this on an archived version of Willie O’Deas Website from 2002.
Willie writes…
They see, just like the rest of us, a potentially seismic realignment of Irish politics. Their problem is that they don’t know where to shift to. This indecision is due to the existance of two distinct groupings within Fine Gael.
The fault line running through Fine Gael was papered over by their antipathy to Fianna Fáil. Yet this fault line became almost geographically visible within months of Michael Noonan taking the leadership. Their stance on the abortion referendum exposed the gulf for all to see, including me.
I hate to be an “I told you so”, but I predicted as much last March. In the aftermath of the abortion referendum vote I wrote in the Sunday Independent: “The party (Fine Gael) tried to face two ways at once and it will pay the price. They now seek to claim the urban no voters who according to today’s poll don’t support Fine Gael while turning their back on their traditional supporters outside Dublin who largely voted Yes.”
From the 2004 Local Elections a Window Poster from Socialist Workers Party candidate in Dun Laoghaire Richard Boyd Barrett with the message “Scrap The Bin Tax”. Boyd Barrett polled 1,439 votes and missed out on a seat. Like the 2007 General Election, in 2004 he was in position for a seat after the first count but lost out on transfers.
The Fianna Fail Party Political broadcast asking viewers to Vote Yes to the second Lisbon Treaty.
From the Fine Gael Website a poster for the 2011 General Election campaign.

First off many many to the sender who notes…
“I’m not sure when it dates from, but Moira is now in her 90’s and lived on Caledon Road, East Wall, the mother of Mick Ryan and also of Nicky Ryan – manager of Enya.
Both Moira & Mick were on the Ard Chomhlaire together in the early 70’s the only time I think that a mother and son were on together.”
I gather the leaflet is from the 1967 Local Elections. In the early 1950 she was involved with Clann na Poblachta.
From the 1966 Presidential Election a poster for Fianna Fails Eamon deValera. It was his last ever election as he beat Tom O’Higgins by just 10,000 votes.
