Irish Elections: Geography, Facts and Analyses 
What does “TC” referr to after the candidates names? Can’t work it out at the minute.
TC = Town Councillor (also applies to members of Urban District councils, Town Commissions etc)
Pingback: Confirmed Independents Running in General Election
Would it be possible to include former parties the independents belonged to. Im sure some of these so called independents are still supporters of party politics and would be very willing to prop up their former associates.
You might find it hard to fit in all the parties some of them have been members of before 😉
Yep, think keping tabs on all the Independents former parties probably a bit beyond the compass of this blog
Just created a post including those independents who previously ran as candidates for other political parties…
Thanks, very interesting and informative.
The flip side is that the parties the candidates left to go Independent would often be the last ones on Earth they’d support.
Not necessarily so. Independent FF. Jim McDaid ? Jackie Healy Rea ? Joe Behan ? Beverly Cooper Flynn ? I believe would be just a few examples.
Can you supply E-Mails for canditates
Er no…
There’s a fairly good list of email addresses on newstalk.
Are you missing Eamonn Blaney (spokesperson for New Vision) in Dublin North-East? If so the tally of 233 independents as reported by RTE would appear to be incorrect (or do you have someone else in the list who did not declare?)
I has Eamonn Blaney counted amongst my numbers but for some reason I had left him out in this list, so thanks for bringing this to my attention!
Thanks for this Adrian, it’s been extremely useful in the run up to the election.
