"The fact that he used to have links to FF is beside the point"
Are you being serious ??

He was on their NATIONAL EXECUTIVE until earlier this year !
He is as culpable as any of the clowns who presided over pur bankruptcy-
Gallaghers nose was stuck well in the trough

the difference is that he would have to buy the posters, we pay the postage on the flyers. he’s an entrepeneur/farmer after all. He will still claim the 200K for electioneering from tax payers regardless of whether he puts up posters or not

I think you ll find there is a difference between a poster & a flyer. Sean wanted to reduce the letter box literature by condensing all 7 candidates onto the one sheet …funnily enough none of the others were happy with this idea. It would have saved the taxpayer in excess of 10 million ….. as Sean said himself
“It is a matter of deep regret and disappointment to me that the other candidates would not agree to my proposal to share a leaflet or an envelope and I had to deliver my leaflet through An Post as a single delivery. The leaflet which goes to every voter is an essential part of the democratic process as it informs voters of who is on the ballot. As an Independent candidate who does not have the national organisation that the political parties have I need to ensure that my message gets out to the voters. I hope that by raising this issue it will ensure a more streamlined method for future elections.”

Heather; Would it be safe to say that the money that would have been spent on posters on walls is instead being spent on posters on bins etc plus flyers being stuck on car windows, sent via the post etc. Its the same thing, just a spin for the media that there not going on walls and leaving out the part we will be hearing from Sean in many more ways that costs the tax payer money.

Gay Mitchell said he was open to the idea about putting the info on one card and heard nothing back. Cant recall who else said they were open but I think a couple had said yes and heard nothing.

Perhaps Sean should practise what he preaches. Don’t do the posters, leaflets sent via An Post etc.

Not a bad candidate but he has been pulled a few times now on items like the posters, cost to tax payers, and his Fianna Fail connections.

Nothing worse than hiding something because when it comes out, it bites you hard in the backside!

I stated that a leaflet was posted into my letter box …… not a poster…. I was disappointed and a bit peeved.

I admired Seans campagin by not using any Posters and I taught he would not be posting a leaflet using An Post either (no offence to An Post)
I think the Gallagher team has done well by not using posters. I dont think posters work and by Sean not using posters I think it worked very well for him ….

Seanie was clearly riding the FF wave,the wave crashed and seanie jumped ship and seems to be willing to try any cheap stunt to get his nose back in the trough.IMHO of course

Martin Mc and Higgins are the only two that can speak Irish. Mmmmmm, the more I think about it, the more I would like our President to have more than a cupla focal.
