Today is the last day for candidates to declare their candidacy for the election.

Will we see Fine Gael add the name of a Labour Party Councillor to their ticket in Dublin North East. A councillor who was previously a member of Sinn Féin.

Yes word is that Killian Forde has been asked to join Fine Gael and run in General Election 2011. That’ll be bizarre. Watch that space to see if he accepts. They are only running one candidate at the moment, Terrence Flanagan who was elected in 2007.
