Flyer from Jane Ohlmeyer Trinity Provost Election 2011
This is slightly off the beaten track election wise. I didn’t even know there was an election for Provost of Trinity until I was contacted and asked if I’d like some leaflets from that election (Many thanks to the sender). I’m fairly sure the electorate is fairly small but thought this might be of interest.
This is a leaflet from Jane Ohlmeyer, currently the Erasmus Smith’s Professor of Modern History at Trinity College Dublin, which was part of her campaign to become Provost.
I’ve leaflets from other candidates which I’ll post in due course.
