Last night.
Cork City Hall.
Dan Boyle is elected to Cork City Council for Cork South Central and will be among four Green Party councillors in the chamber.
Dan said:
“The Greens have been involved with more on the ground campaigning. We have taken an inclusive approach to social media and the mainstream media and we are making people aware of wider social issues and there have been some very positive engagements.
In terms of people engaging with environmental issues, I would describe it as the ‘David Attenborough effect’ and more young people are coming out to vote.
“I will be seeking meetings with the other parties and groupings to discuss the possibility of a civic charter and vision for Cork over the next five years. The shape of Cork should be a constant conversation.”

Well done Dan :)
Also, just when I thought that Bodger was all out of ‘tally’ puns – wham! – he comes through with a doozy.
+1
Congrats Dan- well done.
Congrats Dan, now never forget the dangers of civilwarshirts bearing “gifts”
delighted for you, Dan
and for Cork
Maith thú Dan!!!!
Congratulations Dan.
I have to say though, this Green ‘surge’ is being overstated a tad by our lazy media don’t you think? What are they on- 6% ?
All the parties in unison saying that the environment was number one issue on the doorsteps. I don’t believe that for one second.
Fair play Dan :)
Fair play, Dan!
Congratulations are in order :)
Fair play Dan
Congrats Dan.
Looking forward to seeing things moving in Cork.
fair play Dan, looking forward to the insider columns!
Also, this is the best headline yet this election season. Have a celebratory lilt and bounty Bodger!
That you, Rotide!
…good man Dan…to get dumped despite the green surge in 2007 was quite unfortunate…to be dumped during another green surge would have been downright careless…
Congratulations in order Mr. Boyle. Not my cup of tea but fair play.
Congrats Dan, and in your success, I hope you recognise the major role the weekly putting-you-right on Broadsheet played in honing your prospects.
A pint for you sir, for your bold-faced cheek.
Well done!
Fair play to you Dan! Delighted for you!
Fingers crossed for Grace O’Sullivan today!
congrats Dan
now please please do not get straight into bed with FFG/LAB under any circumstances
Thanks a million for selling out by actually getting elected, Dan.
There’s encouragement here for the Greens
But what if they go to extremes
and try something drastic
to part us from plastic:
will we still support-them and their dreams?
Dan the Man
fair play dan
i have a little planning application i’d like you to look at for me..
Well done Dan, don’t forget to tell your colleagues to beware of ffg bearing gifts!
Congratulations Dan, well earned.
