There was nearly fisticuffs in cobh one election between rival Labour party factions, John Mulvihill took exception to SherlocksInteresting - be some bit of electioneering if they pull it off. Candidates generally wary of having a constituency carved up like that. Strong temptation to wander into particular estate or area if you know there is decent support for your party there. That's when the shenanigans start!
FF did it in 2007 with Mehole, McGrath and Dennehy. Dennehy got worried about his chances (with good reason) so started canvassing Carrigaline, which didn't please McGrath's team!!
team canvassing.
