Joan Collins, a Dublin City Councillor, is running for a Dáil Seat in the Constituency of Dublin South-Central. The General Election is coming soon – on Friday February 25.

Joan is a People Before Profit Candidate, part of the United Left Alliance (ULA), which is tipped to win six or more seats in the new Dáil.

Joan hit the media headlines by interrupting an RTÉ interview with former Taoiseach and Fianna Fáil Leader Bertie Ahern about his last days in Leinster House, headquarters of Dáil Éireann, the Irish Parliament.

Joan Collins – Campaigning in Meath Street (Videos)

leave a comment »

Joan Collins first won a seat on Dublin City Council in 2004, and was re-elected in 2009 with an increased share of the vote in the Crumlin-Kimmage ward. In 2011 she is a People Before Profit / United Left Alliance candidate in Dublin South-Central. Joan doorstepped ex-Taoiseach Bertie Ahern at the gates of Leinster House this week, asking why he had no “shame” about the state of the country, ruined by the collapse of the Celtic Tiger. Have a look at Joan’s campaign in the Meath Street area on Saturday January 29 2011 – it looks like she has struck a chord with many working class people.

The reaction to Joan’s handbagging of Bertie Ahern was very positive and good-humoured – take a look at these short videos made by John Meehan :
