1960 Election Results for Dublin City Council.

Another set of old Local Election results, that don’t appear to be online. The 1960 Election results for Dublin City Council.

I presume the ‘Unemployed’ candidates were connected to the “Unemployed Protest Committee” that campaigned for Jack Murphy in 1957.
Interesting too to see Clann na Poblachta and Ratepayers candidates being elected as well as Kathleen Swanton of the Irish Housewives Association.
