Campaign buses, poster trucks and samba bands are being reported the last few days as operations swing into gear and nominations are confirmed.

  This pic was sent to me of the Mary Davis bus spotted over the weekend.

Those buses don’t come cheap. So Mary has taken to her kitchen to look for donations.

Sean Gallagher meanwhile has reached out to the Deaf community to explain his campaign and has this signed video from one of the new RTE news signers Wayne Reid.

Andrea Pappin had a very interesting post yesterday on the state of play and the 20 nominations that David Norris is seeking and profiles many of those who might or might not sign the nomination paper.  At the time of writing Norris has 14 nominations and has a week left to get the other 6 or another 3 council nominations.

Sean Healy (no not Fr. Sean) wants your vote, he’s all trees and Yeats. And yes interesting trousers.
