From the 1977 General Election a leaflet for Fianna Fail Carlow Kilkenny candidates Jim Gibbons, Liam Aylward, Tom Nolan, Paddy Carpenter and Mick Lanigan. Despite fielding five candidate in a five seater Fianna Fail won three seats with Tom Nolan, Jim Gibbons and Liam Aylward all elected. We also have a message from Jack Lynch to voters and an outline of Fianna Fails 1977 General Election policies.
From the 2009 local elections in Kilkenny, Fianna Fail candidate John Coonan. The long serving Councillor Coonan was elected to both Kilkenny County Council and Kilkenny Borough Council. I like the way Kilkenny castle is in the background.
Fianna Fail had hopes of taking that elusive third seat here with Hurler Kevin Fennelly.
However on the day it was Kilkenny based Liam Aylwards massive first preference vote combined with Kilkenny based Seamus Pattison riding on the Spring Tide meant he had little chance of winning a seat.
Aylward also mentions that he is a ‘prominent member of the GAA’, in fact the same club as Kevin Fennelly!
Kevin Fennelly is the uncle of Hurling star Henry Shefflin.
