A by-election in The Fews in 2006 saw Willie Frazer narrowly defeated by Turlough Murphy by a mere 3,000 votes.

Interesting to see how Henry Reilly of UKIP will fare under the new banner.

He claims they are the only 'national party'

Had to laugh a a SF Local Council contender, telling my Brother that a local SDLP council contender would vouch for him

[Whelan]

Good to see that Independent Republican candidate Davy Hyland was elected
