Baldoyle Residents Association

I went to the Baldoyle Residents Association meeting on Tuesday night (at their invitation) to hear about the problems they've been having. For example, do you know that the Millenium Park in Baldoyle which was supposed to be opened for the millenium still isn't open and the association hasn't been offered an explanation for it! It's laughable.

I thought it was interesting that less than half the candidates invited actually bothered to show up. Baldoyle is concerned that it is becoming a forgotten village and I think that at least half the candidates have forgotten about you already! Baldoyle, I support you!

I got an article in the Fingal Independent. Click here to see it.

Keep on moving...

At this point we have a lot of leaflets delivered out to a lot of houses and the posters are everywhere! It's slightly embarassing having 3 ft by 4 ft posters of your face staring at you no matter where you go. I'm starting to get used to it now but it is still a little strange.

I'm getting great help and support from everyone. The people on the street are happy to chat once they've established that you're not from FF!

The 2nd Entry

OK, so the title isn't that imaginitive but it is almost 2am.

Yesterday, I canvassed Seapark/Biscayne in the Malahide area. Nice people! It took some time to get through it but it was worth it. While this was going the 1st of my posters were being erected in Portmarnock (at Leisure Centre end). Thank to the guys for getting this sorted.

Tonight, I put up the 1st posters around Malahide so that should really get the old chins wagging! I have to say that so far I'm absolutely delighted with the support that I'm getting. There's no shortage of people who want to help and the number of people approaching me on the street and pledging their support is amazing. People appear to be genuinely fed up with the status quo.

The 1st Entry

Good Evening!

My name is Pat Joyce and I'm a candidate in the 2009 Local Elections in the Howth/Malahide ward of Fingal. The election is on June 5th and I hope to secure a seat as an independent.

I hope to manage to post here once a day to keep people updated with my progress!
