D-Day for Bracken

It's the final day of the local election campaign for our beloved John Bracken and support has never been stronger. Through our network of country wide correspondents we have heard that people from all over the country are converging on Tullamore to lend their support.


The competition is strong as you can see from the list of candidates below, but we are confident that our man will come out on top.

Bracken, John - Independent (in pole position)
Buckley, Molly - Fine Gael
Butterfield, Johnny - Independent
Callanan, Colm - The Christian Solidarity Party
Cowen, Barry - Fianna Fáil
Dolan, Dervill - Independent
Dooley, Sinead - Fianna Fáil
Dormer, Lorraine - Labour Party
Feery, Frank - Fine Gael
Killeavy, Brendan - Sinn Féin
McKeigue, Tommy - Fine Gael
Moran, Frank - Independent
O'Brien, Sean - Labour Party
O'Brien, Vincent - Fine Gael
Owens, Danny - Fianna Fáil

In the face of battle Bracken is undeterred and has been getting in shape all week in an effort to be at his fittest for the final push for the top today.


Brackens strongest competition as a fellow independent is Johnny Butterfield. Despite not knowing much about this character we suspect he has little chance of regaining his seat this time out, especially with a hair cut like that.

We are urging all our Offaly readers to get the word out and use their influence on friends and family to vote Bracken in today.
