1954 General Election flyer for Joseph Pilkington -Independent Republican Labour Candidate, Workers Unemployed, Small Farmer and Old IRA -Sligo Leitrim June 15, 2013
From the 1954 General Election in Sligo/Leitrim a flyer for Joseph Pilkington an Independent Republican Labour Candidate, Workers Unemployed, Small Farmer and Old IRA candidate. He polled 2,710 votes and failed to win a seat.
As far as I know Pilkington was a Sligo Town based Councillor. He was elected to Sligo County Council and Sligo Corporation in 1950 as a Labour candidate and died in 1955. I don’t know why he didn’t stand for Labour here in 1954.
Many thanks to the sender.
The programme for the 1978 FAI Cup Final Shamrock Rovers v Sligo Rovers November 5, 2012
Another deviation from politics to Shamrock Rovers and The programme (minus the ads) for the 1978 FAI Cup Final which was between Shamrock Rovers and Sligo Rovers. Shamrock Rovers ran out one nil winners from a Ray Tracey penalty.
There’s a few nice bits in this, it mentions Eamon Dunphy refusing the offer of the managers job at Milwall , Some stuff on the Rovers player Manager John Giles, the fact that the O’Leary brothers Pierce of Rovers and David of Arsenal were both playing in cup finals that year.
From a Sligo point of view many of those in the line up were members of the team that won the League in 1977.
