He is. Posters everywhere and it seems like he has significant financial backing.Is William o Leary ex FF? He may pull some of that vote,
Kay Dawson to lose out to O’Brien?FF took nearly 50% of the vote last time. They won't get near that next week albeit will hope to retain 2 seats in what is a fairly traditional area in terms of voting. Be big ask for FG to keep two seats but both candidates have big personal vote so in with a chance. Roche as indo should retain his seat and despite poor recent polls, SF should be well up on their local election 2019 showing so O' Brien should be a shoo-in for them to regain seat they lost in 2019.
Noel McCarthy topped the poll last time out, not sure will that be the case again but I'd expect him to be returned, think he'd have a good personal vote in Fermoy, he's well established there, Labour's candidate seems to be putting in a good bit of an effort but is very unlikely to feature in the later counts.Kay Dawson to lose out to O’Brien?
What I’m very disappointed about is that William O’Leary and Frank Roche are Blighe lite and will be returned. O’Leary especially has said some terrible things and has gladly associated himself with Blighe.Noel McCarthy topped the poll last time out, not sure will that be the case again but I'd expect him to be returned, think he'd have a good personal vote in Fermoy, he's well established there, Labour's candidate seems to be putting in a good bit of an effort but is very unlikely to feature in the later counts.
The most interesting one will be how Blighe performs in Fermoy LEA, inknow you were saying there's a chance he could take a seat but im not seeing it, the majority of people in Fermoy and Mitchelstown I've spoken to are well aware of the type of person he is, couldn't see how he'd transfer even if he got a decent amount of first preferences, but this will be a very unusual election so expect a few surprises.
Yea he's a clown, but will get returned I'd say. FF have that young lad Cotter running in place of O'Leary but don't think he's a big enough profile to take the seat.What I’m very disappointed about is that William O’Leary and Frank Roche are Blighe lite and will be returned.

I'm thinking roughly the same Jimmy.FF X2 FG X2 SF X1 INDEPENDENT X1
That’s true. And the likes of Peter O Donoghue running may take votes from Blighe too. He’s not as extreme on immigration as Blighe but no less a clown. Mattie McGrath has given him a helping hand.Yea he's a clown, but will get returned I'd say.

The only good think about roach and o'leary is that they may take some of the votes that may have went to Blighe.
