Candidate Video #1 – Seán Gallagher

July 14th, 2011 · 2 Comments · Elections, Irish Politics

Yes I know it’s rather early but there’s a lot of ground to cover and I think I’m finally over #GE11 and ready for the next campaign.  And Seán Gallagher today helpfully launched the website for the campaign with bells and whistles including Facebook, Twitter, donate, sign up, diary and of course a video.

Gallagher has been quietly travelling the nation working the councils and seems to have secured 5 nominations in September.  Phase two of building the canvassing base and the campaign funds appears to now be underway and he is still looking at securing other nominations just in case.

The former (?) Dragon and entrepreneur strongly maintains his independence from Fianna Fáil of whom he was a member until 2009, whilst recognising  the value of party politics but it’s not for him – not in this campaign anyway.   Fianna Fáil have yet to decide what they are doing about the Presidential Campaign – by the by did you hear they might change their name?

Anyway back to Seán – here’s the first video. His slogan? Together… Let’s Be the Change

More of this between now and October 21.  I’m sure you are only delighted! More Hope, Change, Conversation, to come from all the candidates whilst they are keeping within executive powers of course.
