Double Job Joe

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Monday April 28, 2003 12:47author by Trim Reaper Report this post to the editors

Keeping The Council Seat In The Family

While most other TDs have resigned their council seats, Joe Higgins has his bum firmly attached in Fingal. Could this be due to internal Socialist Party wrangling?

While most other TDs have resigned their council seats, Joe Higgins has his bum firmly attached in Fingal. Could this be due to internal Socialist Party wrangling?

In the best of Irish traditions Joe wants to keep the seat in the family and pass it on to his partner, Ruth Coppinger. The nasty Democratic Centralists of the SP dont agree and think it should go to a more orthodox party activist outside Joes area.

Truth be told, Party Leader Kevin MacLoughglin feels its his right to hold the seat for a year. Little Lenin MacLoughlin feels his profile is not high enough for one who holds the exalted title of General Secretary (the expenses would do nicely as well).

This could all end in tears, Little Lenin gets his moment of glory, but the SP loses the council seat.
