In Ballincollig with Cllr Martin Coughlan
Posted on March 08, 2009 by Alan Kelly
I spent much of yesterday with Cll Martin Coughlan in Ballincollig. Martin is a tru Labour man. He has huge integrity and is a really sound fella.
this was the first time I had canvassed in Ballincollig and again I have to say the reception was great. People liked the fact that I was a young candidate. They liked what I had to say about investment and jobs. They really appreciated what I was saying about education and broadband.

National Conference 09
Posted on March 27, 2009 by Alan Kelly
Our National Conference was held over the weekend in Mullingar or 'Penrose' country as we like to call it after our local TD there. It was an excellent conference and I was highly impressed by the volume of new and young people I met at it. It was also a confernece that showed that my party is the party of values. Values that have stood the test of time and are more relevant now than ever before.
It was also a conference of ideas. So many motions were excellently researched and showed that there is a bright future out there if we could just as a country invest in our own creativity and capacity.
