Kims Note: Looks similar cleansing that #KeirStarmer had in #JLM #FriendsOfIsrael #LabourParty before the #RecallElections2024 #Ireland #Kildare #KildareCountyCouncil #PAtriciaRyan TD #EU #SinnFein #Immigrants=#illegalImmigrants #Housing #SocialDemocrats #Labour I understand that the sitting TD was extremely unhappy with this as it is unusual for a sitting TD to have to face competition for re-selection – especially in a constituency where, polling and the local and European election results would strongly suggest, Sinn Féin has no chance of winning two of the four seats, and might be doing well to retain the seat taken by Patricia Ryan in 2020. Sinn Féin only took one of the 40 seats in the elections for Kildare County Council in June. Their vote share across the entire county was less than 9% which placed them behind both the Social Democrats and Labour in terms of vote share and seats with those two competitors on the liberal left taking 9 seats in total. Sinn Féin also has a seat in Kildare North where Réada Cronin was elected in 2020 but their total vote between the general election for the two Kildare constituencies in 2020 and the County Council poll in June fell by almost two thirds from 18,860 to 6,686. Interestingly there were no issues regarding the decision to allow Cronin to defend her seat and she was selected as the sole Sinn Féin candidate at the constituency convention last month.
