Posted by irishelectionliterature in Irish Politics.trackback
The above is from the 1979 European Elections
A Prisoners Aid Committee Letter for a Day of Solidarity with Irish Political Prisoners to be held on the 26th of November 1978.
From Sinn Fein in The Assembly Elections A “5 Point Pledge” (as opposed to a “5 Point Plan”) leaflet
and finally a 1981 issue of the FF magazine “Iris Fianna Fail” to mark the Partys 50th Ard Fheis
A very appropriate selection for the week we’re in!

In subsequent EEC/EU elections Irish independent and left candidates have ‘used’ such events to make policy points and promote small party profiles; but is has been a strategy of using rather than liking the EU and its cumbersome institutions. The Irish public takes the grants but declines ideological commitment.
