Cllr Miley Madden’s Five Point Plan

Well after all the wheelin’ and dealin’ The Village Notes can exclusively reveal that popular Councillor Miley Madden will be standing as an Independent in the forthcoming general election. He’s calling his campaign ‘Puttin’ the ura (euro) back into Rural’.
It’s a plan to rejuvenate rural areas and he’ll be launching it at the community centre next Thursday night. Speaking to The Village Notes he said:
“All Mayo has got from the famous five over the last few years is politics in noddyland. They can’t even get on with one another: fighting about who will get to the top of the poll first and who has the biggest van. Sure that shower above in Dublin are only laughin’ at them.
Yer man in the black coat is camped up above in North Mayo living as a hippy giving out pills – sure he has to stay somewhere when they keep throwing him out of the Dail. Ringo is behind in Westport delivering free bread to pensioners from his new van. Kenny, the brainy nice guy is squeaky clean but who ever took that sort seriously in politics: if he never got things for people who didn’t deserve them then sure what business has he being a politician. Then there’s Bev, a grand girleen, she was the only one of them that ever bought me a pint-she wouldn’t take no for an answer. It’s a pity she didn’t buy Charlie Bird a pint in time or arrange a dose of Bird flu for him. That’s four, but there’s one more. I can’t for the life of me remember the name. I think she lives over in the east somewhere. Is her name Geraldine McCarthy?”
