Cork City - Campaigning Again
Posted by Alan Kelly on March 09, 2009 at 09:30 PM
I am spending a serious amount of time in Cork city and its paying off. The Cllrs and Ciaran and Kathleen Lynch are being really supportive to my campaign and there is a great sense of purpose in everything we are doing. Ciaran as my Director of Elections is obviously taking a great interest in getting the Cork organisation working for me and getting our voters out.
Cork is essential for me and I believe I can get a good vote here. I'm constantly meeting more and more people that I know, have worked with or went to college with. Its great to have sucha good knowledge of the city and the people - most of all I ireally enjoy canvassing in Cork.
We were in Douglas, Togher and Bishopstown (where I once lived). We had Cllrs. Lorraine Kingston and Mick Ahern with us today. Mick is very popular as a former Lord Mayor and Lorraine has been working so hard since taking over from Ciaran in that ward.
Labour is very strong in Cork at the moment and I really believe that my campaign is being helped greatly by the ordinary members in the city, most of who I know for many years. Also, its great to have such an active UCC branch in the college that will pull out allt he stops for me.
