This is the old map, the constituency has been extended since then. The Constituency Commission which reported in 2007 proposed transferring a large number of voters from Cork East and Cork North West into Cork North Central, over 4,000 from each area. The government accepted this and put it into law in the 2009 Electoral Amendment Act. This brought Watergrasshill, Dromahane, Glenville, Burnfort and other areas into the constituency.

You can find the current map on the Constituency Commission's website at www.constituencycommission.ie (direct link to PDF map http://www.constituency-commission.ie/docs%5Ccon2007.pdf

listening to the buzz from people up there all week... Kelleher could struggle big time,even with O Flynn gone. Allen's vote could go all over the place. SF have a great chance of a seat here, from what I listened to, ULA could cause a bit of an upset..maybe not a seat but Barry will put the frighteners on all of them.

Socialist Party/United Left Alliance candidate for Cork North Central Mick Barry said this morning that he agreed with the findings of today’s Ipsos/MRBI poll in the Irish Times that the Socialist Party and Fianna Fáil are now locked in a battle for a seat in the constituency.

Wasn't mangalated enough for my taste. The city is going to have to live with the shame of three of them hoors misrepresenting it! :mad:

I'd like to see where Mick Barry's vote came from. My suspicion is that he didn't get many votes from outside his stomping ground in the city's northside (Blackpool, Churchfield, Shandon, Farranree, and some adjacent areas. The strong Jonathan O'Brien SF campaign which would have focused on the same area (but with the added advantage of being able to draw some votes from the rest of the constituency) wouldn't have helped either.

The Socialist Party are deluding themselves if they think that they can get a Dáil seat here with only one councillor and one ward as their electoral base.

If there were an election now.

Adjusted to the Red C January 2013 and local conditions.

Sinn Féin Jonathan O'Brien 29.1% 15,205

Fianna Fáil Billy Kelleher 18.2% 9,529

Socialist Party Mick Barry 11.2% 5,864

Fine Gael Pat Burton 10.5% 5,485

Fine Gael Dara Murphy 9.8% 5,116

Labour Party Kathleen Lynch 8.3% 4,352

Labour Party John Gilroy 6.7% 3,472


1 SF O'Brien, 1 FG Burton or Murphy, 1 FF Billy Kelleher, 1 SP Mick Barry, well maybe because O' Brien won't get that 29% and Barry could easily poll higher than 11.2%?
