Well, it's official - I'm now a real candidate, and on the ballot paper!
I popped along to see the Kildare County Registrar in Naas this afternoon. Eithne Coughlan is the Returning Officer for Ireland East, so the first of her duties is to take in nominations for the vote. I was delighted to be the first party candidate to be nominated. Unfortunately, that doesn't get me the top spot on the ballot paper, but my surname gets me near to that anyway!
Jack Wall TD and Emmet Stagg TD both joined me for the nomination meeting, and I was delighted to be nominated by my Director of Elections, Liz McManus TD.
It was also great to see the posters flying up all around Kildare. Thanks are due to Dave and all the Kildare North members for their hard work in the rain this morning.
