With just over two months to go until the polls open and the public get to cast their ballot in the local elections, a new candidate has just entered the race in the Ballina area. This entrant has a long political history in his family and even counts a former Fianna Fáil TD as his uncle, so David Moffatt looks to have a lot going for him already. Except he’s not running on the Fianna Fáil ticket, he has embraced the red rose of Labour and will be his party’s only candidate in the highly competitive Ballina area. Moffatt himself has been involved in the Fianna Fáil party on a local level for a number of years, but his change of allegiance to the Labour party was brought about after Labour party leader Eamon Gilmore impressed him, according to the Crossmolina man. “I’ve been impressed by Eamon Gilmore’s positive message; jobs, his message of change and reform ties in with my thinking about what we need in politics now.”

David Moffatt, Labour Party candidate for the Ballina Electoral Area, is appealing to young voters to cast their vote on Friday June 5. “I feel it is very important that the young people of north Mayo take an active part in this Local Election. I am a young person myself and I feel I represent the issues of these people. This Government has bypassed the electorate and has failed to listen to the people on the ground. We as politicians need to address the serious concerns that affect young people in the current recession.
