Update: Return {disarmed} of the Spring Dynasty

Read more about: Democracy, Irish Politics, Kerry North, Labour Party

Update: Head office must have been worried for the press released the result this evening. It is a blow for any who may have wished to see a return of the Spring dynasty to this particular fold as Senator Alan Kelly took the nomination for Labour candidate for MEP in the South. It was widely seen that Kelly was the favourity of head office.

1,346 were eligible to vote

The total valid poll was 420

Quota 211

The final result was:

Alan Kelly 276

Arthur Spring 144

The Indo carries news that Arthur Spring, nephew of former party leader Dick Spring, has jumped into poll position for an MEP run following a decision to reinstate members voting rights at the forthcoming selection convention. The nomination would see Spring return to the campaign trail and doubtless set up a run for the Kerry North/West Limerick run in 2011/12, presently a tricky prospect with the local party.
