Brid Smith to run against Cllr Joan Collins in the 2007 election?

category dublin | politics / elections | other press author Monday June 26, 2006 18:39author by Reporter Report this post to the editors

The following report is on the People Before Profit website. Brid Smith (SWP) is to run as a People Before Profit candidate in next year's general election. Does this mean that Brid Smith will run against Cllr Joan Collins, who has an established base? If so, the left vote will be badly divided. Or is this a negotiating ploy by the SWP? Or, are Smith and Collins running in different constituencies? Let us hope they have worked out something and that the latter is true.

About thirty people attended a Dublin South Central meeting of the
PB4P, which was held in the Clover Hill Community Centre.

The group previously held a meeting on housing in the area and attempts
by the council to take possession of public parks for developers.

The main discussion at the meeting was about the election and it was
unanimously agreed to nominate Brid Smith to contest the forthcoming
general election.

This team will also meet up with the Crumlin Community and Workers
Group to discuss co-ordinating electoral strategy. A representative
from the group was present and spoke about the need for joint
campaigning on housing developments in the area,

It was also agreed to produce a regular People Before Profit bulletin
and a three person sub-group has been set up to work on this project.
