SP and SWP candidates announced

category national | politics / elections | opinion/analysis author Tuesday April 20, 2004 17:08author by Local Tallyman Report this post to the editors

Short review of election websites

The Socialist Workers Party and the Socialist Party have now declared their candidates for the upcoming local elections.

http://www.swp.ie/html/elections.htm
http://www.socialistparty.net/elections/elections.htm

In total the SWP are running 15 candidates in 7 different local authorities. The SP are running 13 candidates in 7 local authorities including all 5 local authorities in Dublin. Interstingly the SP and the SWP will be competing wiht each other for votes in two areas Dundrum and South West Inner City. The parties also have candidates running in the Euro elections. Joe Higgins is standing in Dublin while Eamon McCann is running in NI for the SWP lead SEA.

In many cases the campaigns have already begun. On the SWP site (http://www.swp.ie/html/elections.htm) they have now added many of the local leaflets that their candidates are distruibuting, this is not on the SP site (http://www.socialistparty.net/elections/elections.htm). The mugshots of most of the candidates are also published, the SP out do the SWP on this front. The SP site has flashy pics of all their candidates while the SWP have fairly hit and miss coverage, the prize for the worst pic in my opinion has to go to Joyce Power (SWP) who looks like her pic was taken on a camera phone. The best pic award probably goes to Ashling Golden (SP)

The SWP candidates are as follows:

Bríd Smith- Dublin City (Ballyfermot)
Richard Boyd Barrett- DLR (Dun Laoghaire)
Dick Roche - Waterford City (Ward not specified)
Catherine Kennedy- Bray Town Council (West)
Joyce Power - Bray Town Council (North)
Christy Moore - DLR (Ballybrack)
Shay Ryan - Dublin City (South East Inner City)
Ritchie Browne - Dublin City (Coolock)
Deirdre Cronin- DLR (Dundrum)
Gino Kenny - South Dublin (Clondalkin)
Kieran McNulty- Tralee Town Council
John Carthy- Gorey Town council
Terry Connolly- Dublin City (Rathmines)
Kevin Wingfield - Dublin City (Ballymun)
Brendan Donohoe - Dublin City (South West Inner City)

The Socialist Party Candidates are:
Michael O'Brien -Fingal (Swords)
Cllr Clare Daly - Fingal (Swords)
Brian Greene - Fingal (Howth)
Cllr Ruth Coppinger - Fingal (Mulhuddart)
Helen Redwood - Fingal (Mulhuddart)
Susan Fitzgerald - Fingal (Castleknock)
Tadgh Kenehan - Fingal (Balbriggan) & Balbriggan Town Council
