Sinn Fein will take 7 seats in the forth coming general election, added to the five sitting Sinn Fein TDs will be Peadar Toibin in Meath and Mary Lou Mc Donald in Dublin.
A survey of 200 people in Navan, County Meath 9/12/2010, by Shopping in Meath showed that over 60% of those surveyed said they would vote for Sinn Fein's, Peadar Toibin, in the forth coming General Election, most people surveyed stated that they would not vote for Transport Minister Noel Dempsey or any other Fianna Fail politician.
As Brian Cowen and his Fianna Fail gambeens prepare for the sinking of the great ship "Greed and Self-serving" new opportunities are presented to Sinn Fein in the forth coming General Election. I am no fan of Sinn Fein however sometimes one must accept that certain politicians have a contribution to make to the health of the nation. Peadar Toibin is a dynamic young politician who is not detached from reality as are so many of the political elite. Peadar is a young man who practices what he preaches, he works with those less well off in our society, he stands up for our front line staff and defends the right of our people to have access to health care, education and employment. He will certainly get my vote as will Dominic Hannigan for the Labour Party, these are the type of people we need in the Dail, not Bloated Ministers who would dare to spend 70,000 Euro taking their family to America for St Patrick's Day with our tax dollars.
Cllr Peadar Tóibín, a native of Bridge St, Navan, is the son of well known garage proprietor Jack Tobin and former Banba Hall Naoinra teacher Bean Tóibín.

Earlier this year Peadar also met with Chinese business leaders on a recent trip to Shanghai in an effort to increase business and enterprise ties between the two regions. In an effort to combat Anti Social Behaviour Peadar tabled and passed the ‘Alcohol Tracing System’ motion at council level.
