MacLochlainn tops first online
poll
03.02.11
THE ever-shifting
political landscape in Donegal North East has taken
another twist after Fianna Fáil snubbed Cllr Dessie
Larkin's attempts to join the ticket.
Cllr Larkin put in a strong showing in
InishowenNews.com's first online poll yesterday,
creeping into second place with 108 votes. |

There was a great
reaction to our fun poll with a whopping 475 votes
cast yesterday. Sinn Féin's Pádraig MacLochlainn
topped the poll with 149 votes, followed by Cllr
Dessie Larkin and Cllr Jimmy Harte (Lab) in third
place with 100 votes. Our next online polling day
will be Wednesday, February 9, and the following two
Wednesdays. Cllr Larkin has now been removed from
our online ballot paper and anyone else who declares
to run
will be added. InishowenNews.com's editor Linda
McGrory said: "We're amazed at the reaction to our
first online poll. People are telling us that it's
addictive and they keep checking to see who's in the
lead. It's great fun but it's also giving an
indication of the way our readers are leaning
especially since you are only allowed one vote per
computer. We hope everyone enjoys it. Someone told
me it's like a night at the races!" |
