from the 1991 Local Elections for the Celbridge LEA “Maynooth Labour News” urging a number one vote for John McGinley. On the back it asks for a number 2 for Colm Purcell and a number 3 for Emmet Stagg. It has details of the ‘ROAR’ campaign (Repair our awful roads) , a picture of what was the public toilets in Maynooth and a few other local items.
Stagg and Purcell were elected, although John McGinley was co-opted to the council in 1992 to replace Emmet Stagg.

From 1990 a ‘Join Fianna Fail Maynooth College’ Leaflet.
It includes details of Fianna Fails achievements, its History and what the Maynooth Cumann get up to.
The Secretary is Catherine Fox. Noel Whelan, then Fianna Fails ‘National Youth Officer’ is mentioned also at the end of the leaflet.
From 1989 a leaflet distributed by the Sean Lemass Cumann in Maynooth entitled ‘Some Notes on Ireland’s Premier Political Party‘
We get a little history of Fianna Fail as well as party Philosophies and attacks on both Labour and Fine Gael. The leaflet is also very much of its time in that it harks back to Fianna Fail basics, or what were Fianna Fail basics.
“The electoral record of the pasty reflects it’s success in forming policies on national and constitutional issues that appeal to all sections of the Irish people. Fianna Fail has made a unique and historic contribution to the building up of our state and the welfare of its people. Its achievements have been the result of progressive policies formilated by a caring listening leadership in tune with a true cross section of our people. ”
“That Fianna Fail is to the Left of Fine Gael may be seen in the party’s commitment to the problems of the small man….”
“The Labour party’s commitment to nationalisation in pursuit of a Social Workers’ Republic goes much further than is acceptable to the Fianna Fail view of the importance of individual rights and freedoms in society. Labour has also opposed Fianna Fail policy on free trade and Irish entry to the E.E.C.
In the field of economic and social development, the most significant advances of Fianna Fail in Government in recent years were the provision of free post-primary education for all, membership of the European Economic Community and the European Monetary System.”
From 1990 a leaflet on Overcrowding in College produced by The Workers Party.
Presumably a lot of it is still relevant today.
Overcrowding demonstrably affects us all, regardless of place of study, and in all aspects of our student-life: lectures, libraries, catering, accommodation and safety. The greatest irony, however, is that the increased pressures placed on students by overcrowding may well lead to increased failure-rates and ultimately decreased graduate numbers!
The Workers’ Party believes education is not a luxury. It is vital for our economic growth, for a healthy political democracy and for the future well-being of our society. We are totally opposed to all cutbacks, either direct or indirect, in the education system.
