news report
Wednesday June 03, 2009 20:26 by Sparky sparky_dublin at yahoo dot ie
Ahead of Friday's poll, two election candidates have been facing quite different problems getting their message out through campaign posters. For Eoin Ryan, posters featuring an image of the candidate holding up a sign clearly proved too inviting for those harbouring anti-FF sentiment. As evident this morning on Gardiner Street, a fly-poster had subverted Ryan's message overnight with the slogans 'Fianna Fail don't care about you' and 'Fianna Fail created this mess'.

Patrick Maphoso, Independent, North Inner City
South African-born Patrick (Paddy) Maphoso is standing as an Independent candidate for Dublin North Inner City in the June 2009 local elections.
Endorsed by members of both immigrant and indigenous communities, Patrick stands for social inclusion and puts a strong emphasis on anti-discrimination and anti-racism.
Steeped in the trade union tradition of South Africa and Ireland, Patrick has worked tirelessly for the rights of workers and equality. He has championed many cases to stop exploitation in the workplace.
Today, Patrick runs a small business in Moore Street and is at the heart of a community that was excluded from the benefits of the Celtic Tiger economy. He believes politicians colluded with bankers and developers to profit on the back of the electorate and is determined to be a voice for change.
Patrick's campaign priorities strongly reflect his concern to put the needs of ordinary people first in the running of the city.
