On Saturday the 9th last; the quiet of Fingal County Council offices in Swords was broken by the exited chatter and laughter of a number of children, who had accompanied their parents, who themselves had come to Swords to be assenters for Iggy.This was described by the registration staff as something unique, which many hadn't witnessed before, not the kids but rather that it was very unusual for all (15 plus) assenters to turn up in person for the nomination process.
One staff member said that he'd been involved with the nomination process for over 12yrs and he'd not seen the type of turn out like this before.
After some hastily gathered forms and the subsequent filling out of same Iggy and his supporters were treated to a guided tour of the Council Chambers by a very friendly and informative staff member. It must be said that all the staff went out of their way to not only deal with the nomination process, but equally to put everyone at ease.
The only hiccup was when the registration staff were trying to decide whether the word/name Iggy appeared with or without brackets () on the Ballot Papers....you'll have to wait 'till voting day to find out what they decided!!
Meanwhile there where many photos taken to remember the day...
