Contrary to some naysayers, Iggy and his supporters have been out actively canvassing Tyrrelstown only last Tuesday (with a reporter) then on Wednesday & Thursday we revisited many of the apartment complexes (and we have the calf muscles to prove it) we were also in the houses. We were knocking on doors and speaking with many those homes which in which we got no response we left flyers.
I must say that the reaction from the many residents was to promise the No 1 for Iggy and to tell their friends the same. We as some may not be aware are volunteer supporters and canvassers for Iggy and many have taken time from work and other commitments to support who we believe genuinely and actively has his friends and neighbours uppermost and continuously promotes the best that Tyrrelstown has to offer as a people and as a community, at every opportunity which is evidenced in the many media both radio & paper; as was the case last week when we were followed on our door to door in Tyrrelstown by Fergal Keane on behalf of Marion Wilson's Drive Time which was aired on Wednesday evening. We then did door to door in Drumheath and Ladyswell on the Friday as well as Hollystown in the same week and only the previous week he got a tremendous welcome at the Tyrrelstown Residents Association Meeting held in the Plaza.
It is probably worth mentioning for those new to the Local Elections that the Mulhuddart constituency stretches from Lucan to Clonee & Clonsilla to Corduff and for an Independent Candidate (which Iggy is) without the support of a Political Party and the support funding that comes with it along with a cadre of Party Members (many of whom are not from the area) to achieve the coverage that Iggy and his team have to date is by any standards impressive. After all Iggy has to reach out to the whole of Mulhuddart and can not be parocial to Tyrrelstown as this would undermine and limit his chances. Tyrrelstown residents that we have spoken to over the course of the campaign so far are very well aware of what Iggy needs to do and many have pointed out the need for him to continue to reach out and engage with the many other communities of Mulhuddart. This Iggy will continue to do...we were in Clonsilla on Sunday afternoon and back in Tyrrelstown in the evening and will be at Lucan and then Parslickstown on Monday.
If there are any Tyrrelstown neighbours who feel they would like to speak with Iggy on a one to one, they have only to ring or email as others have done and this will happen.
