The Irony of this is that John O'Mahoney has been brought in to unseat Michael Ring who is equally parochial but is a very nice guy

..........as they round the first bend, John O' Mahoney is just in front, from Micheal Ring and West on Track, closely followed by the Fine Geal parlimentary party. At the rear of the field is the Fianna Fail Parlimentary Party and the Progressive Democrats who look to be in trouble in the early stages of this race..........

Mayo is facinating as a contest and a more parochially minded constituency does not exist in the state. More than any other it is not a question of national policy it is a question of County policy and delivering the largess whether the projects stick or not in the medium term.
That is why Michael Ring has been great he has not at any time stuck his neck out on what he may perceive to be a giant white elephant. An example of a Michael Ring play was getting a water supply extended from Ballinrobe to Westport to save a factory employing 600 people because they had threatened to pull out if they hadn't enough fresh clean water. It has also enabled the town to grow in recent years. Can anyone point to one instance between Tuam and Colooney where employment will be boosted by three trains a day? |
