Willie Kennedy , Michael Lowry -‘Lowry Team’ – 2009 Thurles September 18, 2009
This is from the 2009 local elections. The first bit of ‘Lowry Team’ literature to come my way.Willie Kennedy and Michael Lowry were both elected.
These days many Independents such as Lowry and Healy-Rae have small organisations around them that contest council elections. Thus with our clientelist sytem the TD can stay in touch with local issues and whats going on on the ground.
