Odd flyer for Gerry Breen Fine Gael -Dublin North West -2011 General Election


An odd one this, delivered for Gerry Breen one of the Fine Gael candidates in Dublin North West in the 2011 General Election.
The sender (many thanks) notes..

Just got this in the door today. It’s monochrome in the original too. As you can see, the flyer is mostly an application form for a European Health Insurance Card. Would have thought this kind of thing would be more typical at Christmas/between elections than during a campaign. Note that nowhere does it directly solicit a vote!
