Pre-poll nuptials for Sharkey

Carlingford candidate for Louth County Council, Tomás Sharkey is pictured with his wife Caroline last Friday. Even a busy election campaign couldn't keep the pair from exchanging vows.

Louth candidates have been busy adding to the republican family for the last few weeks. Dundalk candidate Kevin Meenan's partner gave birth to a baby girl, Caitlin, last week. In the last addition, An Phoblacht carried a photo of Tom Cunningham and his partner Sinéad's new baby. We have to ask, is there any canvassing being done in Louth this month?
