Thought this of interest. Its a leaflet taken from the Greens new mayor4dublin.ie site.
It explains the benefit of having a Dublin Mayor as well as a message from Paul Gogarty the Green Party Dublin Spokesperson.
The Leaflet is in PDF form on the site HERE .
From the run up to the 1987 General Election a Leaflet with Calendar and New Years Message from Fianna Fail Dun Laoghaire candidate Richard Conroy. Conroy had four previous attempts running for Fianna Fail in General Elections and had failed to win a seat. Here in 1987 he polled 2897 votes and again missed out. (His record at Electionsireland.org).
Conroy is founder and director of Conroy Diamonds and Gold, a mining and exploration company as well as Conroy Petroleum.

The Zimbabwe native polled a respectable 637 votes.
From Fianna Fail Senator Maria Corrigan a 2008 letter to Residents of Dublin South with a headline that would have you believe the LUAS was being built to Rathfarnham. Needless to say it wasn’t quite as positive as the headline suggested.
From the 2002 General Election a flyer for Fine Gael Sligo Leitrim candidate John Perry.
Perry, a Ballymote based businessman, was first elected in 1997 and despite it being a poor election for Fine Gael, he held on to his seat.
“Vision with Purpose” was a pretty bad Slogan especially when up against the memorable “A lot done, more to do”.
The July 2006 Issue of Leftline from the Irish Socialist Network.

I was contacted by The Irish Democratic Party (IDP) with the below “Open Letter to the citizens of Ireland”.
Their Website is www.irishdemocrats.com and they are “looking to recruit members, both registered and volunteer, to contribute to the IDP’s drive to get recognised as a political party and indeed towards our policies”
This is most likely of interest to those familiar with the Knocklyon /Rathfarnham area. A 2001 newsletter from Fianna Fail councillor John Lahart.
The opening story concerns the destroying of some playing fields and open spaces in the area by Itinerants. It actually ended where the council had to pay quite a large sum of money to get some football pitches fit for playing again.
The Green Route, planning, Rathfarnham Castle and Rathfarnham Village are amongst the many issues covered.
I see Labour have launched a site winningthewest.ie .
The site says …The most ambitious part of Eamon Gilmore’s election strategy is the bald ambition to conquer the West!
From the 1992 General Election in Dun Laoghaire a letter to voters from the Democratic Lefts Eamon Gilmore.
One line in particular stands out “….that substance and policy are more important than style and performance”.
Eamon Gilmore was elected, which was a decent performance considering the Spring Tide.
By Dan Boyle, from 2005 A Green Party Submission to the Public Consultation on Reducing Tax Avoidance by High-Earners.
It focuses on Tax Reliefs.
It would be interesting to see what has changed regarding Tax Reliefs since this submission was made.
From October 2010 a “No Slíabh Bán Wind Farm” Leaflet. Slíabh Bán is near Strokestown in Roscommon and there has been a campaign against the erection of the Wind Farm for the past while.
They have a Facebook page.
Many thanks to the sender.
From the 2007 General Election a leaflet for Independent Candidate (and recent Labour Recruit) Jimmy Harte running in Donegal North East.
The Letterkenny based formed Fine Gael councillor polled 1314 votes. He is son of former Fine Gael TD Paddy Harte. The leaflet is a messy size, so I’ve uploaded it in *.pdf HERE

From the 2007 General Election a Leaflet produced by CHASE (Cork Harbour Alliance For a Safe Environment). The message was to
“Vote only for candidates with No Incineration In their Party Policies”
