Jack Lynch and Brendan Corish Posters -1973 General Election April 9, 2010
Was sent these , many thanks to the donor.A Jack Lynch poster from 1973 and a Brendan Corish one also from the 1973 General Election.
The Wexford based, Brendan Corish, was first elected in 1945 in a by-election caused by the death of his father Richard Corish.He was re elected to the Dail on each occasion before retiring in 1982. He served as Labour Leader for 17 years.
He served as Minister for Social Welfare from 1954 until 1957 and was Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Social Welfare from 1973 to 1977. He passed away in 1990.
The late Jack Lynch first forays into the public world were as a player for both the Cork football and Cork Hurling teams.
In his time he won five Hurling All Ireland medals and one Football All Ireland.
He was first elected to the Dail in 1948 and retired in 1981. He succeeded Sean Lemass as Leader of Fianna Fail and as Taoiseach. In his time he served three terms as Taoiseach and was at the helm in the turbulent days of the Arms Crisis and Bloody Sunday. He passed away in 1999.
Lisa McDonald- Fianna Fail- Wexford 2007 General Election March 8, 2010
From the 2007 General Election in Wexford, Fianna Fail Candidate the now Senator Lisa McDonald. Her father Eddie had some success as a Wexford hurler. Its an Enniscorthy themed leaflet so many of the issues covered are local to there.
Paddy Kavanagh ‘Free Draw’ -Fine Gael -Enniscorthy 2004 Local Elections February 12, 2010
From the 2004 local elections Fine Gael candidate Paddy Kavanagh. He was standing in the Enniscorthy LEA for Wexford County Council and for Enniscorthy UDC. He was elected to the UDC.
Paddy Kavanagh had been co-opted onto the council to replace Ivan Yates.
I wonder how many entries he received for the competition, the draw took place a week before the election. Given the size of the electorate there must have been good odds on winning. He was also looking to see what the most important issues for voters were.
Sean Quirke -Progressive Democrat -Enniscorthy 2004 LE January 13, 2010
Sean Quirke PD candidate in Enniscorthy in the 2004 Local Elections. Despite an excellent GAA pedigree (Chairman of the Wexford County Board and member of Oylegate/Glenbrien) and some other impressive community activity such as helping in pilgrimages to Lourdes and being involved with the Irish Rural Dwellers Association, Sean failed to get in.
Amongst his priorities was ‘Ensuring decentralisation is delivered to Enniscorthy’. Theres a message too from Tom Parlon, Minister for OPW, complimenting Sean.
Tony Dempsey- Fianna Fail- Wexford 2002 December 24, 2009
Former Wexford Hurling manager Tony Dempsey when he ran successfully in the 2002 General Election.
He invokes the specialness of being a Wexfordian, a heritage those of us outside Wexford tend to forget about.
Catherine Murphy , Michael Enright -Workers Party- Leinster 1989 Euro Elections October 21, 2009
There were high hopes that both Michael Enright and Catherine Murphy could put down a marker for future Dail progress. A General election was held on the same day and it was hoped that their candidacy in the Euro Elections would give them a boost.
Although the Workers Party vote increased from 1984s Euro Election, both candidates lost their deposits with a combined 4.38% of the vote.
In the General election Enrights vote actually fell, whilst Murphys 1,520 vote was decent enough in the circumstances (An ‘Army Wives’ candidate, Carol Tiernan also stood in Kildare polling 2,690 votes, some of which would have gone to Murphy).
The thorny issue of party policy towards Farmers must have also had an impact on the vote. “Reorganisation of Agricultural production…”
wasn’t the policy to have rural voters flocking to the party. Also we had another new party ‘Logo’.
