The joke is on us

category national | politics / elections | opinion/analysis author Tuesday June 27, 2006 14:54author by Seán Ryan Report this post to the editors

Three new Mayors 'elected' last night.

Labour's Joe Leddin was elected as Lord Mayor of Limerick last night. He was elected by default as nobody else put their names forward. Good to see that the title of '"Lord" Mayor' is staying within the Family Joe. (Doesn't the Constitution do away with titles of nobility and other such shite?)

It will be interesting to see what Joe thinks about the Bleach Lough Spring Water Scandal.

Will crime rates drop. Will traffic get better. Will Joe still want to pedestrianise Limerick City Centre (and will the traffic problem get worse). Will all those houses that are boarded up, in Moyross, Ballynanty, Southill, Weston, etc. be re-opened. Will homelessness remain a major problem. Will the waiting list for housing drop under the 2 year average. Will citizens of Limerick still want to kill themselves. Will Joe, as Limerick County Council said in the High Court the other day, want to keep the status quo.

What difference will Joe actually make?

In Dublin A FF councillor, Vincent Jackson is the new Mayor, after his name was literally drawn out of a hat. Bye Bye FG, told ye to lose the poster ban. And good luck with that investigation.

Michael Ahern from Labour is the new Mayor of Cork.

Looks like there'll be some partying in the Labour Camp.
