Publisher's Synopsis
ÈAll politics is locali declared Tip OiNeill, explaining that local concerns around a country affect the actions of local political representatives. Local politics will take centre stage in Ireland at the local elections in June 2009, as voters choose candidates to represent them at county, city and community levels. These races for public office do not involve huge campaign budgets or prime tv ads and debates. This book provides a timely insight into local elections in Ireland. Previous books about general and local elections are largely summaries of results and constituency profiles but lack detailed analysis of what local elections are about. This is the focus of this book.
