Talk:Eugene Regan

Page move?
Article titles generally don't have titles like 'Councillor' in them; I'm not sure what the SC stands for (Senior Counsel?) but it's probably not part of the person's name either. Unless there are objections I'd recommend a move to Eugene Regan. Z iggurat 22:36, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Removed information
I've removed the following information, as it doesn't seem relevant to Eugene Regan (the subject of the article!).
 * Fine Gael dominated Dún Laoghaire politics for many decades with a conservative profile under its former and, somewhat austere, leader and ex Taoiseach Liam Cosgrave. It won three of the five seats in the constituency in 1981, a landmark achievement and its three TD's included both socially liberal and ultra-conservative representatives under the party leadership of Garrett Fitzgerald, who has now endorsed Regan.


 * Fine Gael held two Dáil seats in Dún Laoghaire prior to the 2002 general election. Its two outgoing TD's, Monica Barnes and Sean Barrett retired.  The party's candidates in 2002 were Liam T. Cosgrave, son of the former leader and grandson of W. T. Cosgrave who served as President of the Executive Council from 1922 to 1932, Senator Helen Keogh, who defected to Fine Gael from the Progressive Democrats and Councillor John Bailey but the party - then under the leadership of Michael Noonan TD, failed to win even one of the five seats in this constituency.


 * Liam T. Cosgrave was convicted on a charge of failing to disclose a £2,500 political donation received during the 1997 general election from lobbyist Frank Dunlop to the Standards in Public Office Commission in 1998. He was sentenced in May 2006 to 75 hours of community service in lieu of a six-month custodial sentence.

Perhaps a better place could be found for it (Fine Gael or Liam T. Cosgrave?), or it could be rephrased to better demonstrate the relevance to this individual. Z iggurat 22:42, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
