Clare Election candidates - The Twitter Warriors

Ann Cronin
Tony Mulcahy

There are four Banner candidates engaging in Twitter as a campaign tool. They are; Dr John Hillery FF, Joe Carey FG, Tony Mulcahy FG and Ann Cronin Ind.
All have enthusiastically engaged and here are some of my observations;
  • Their characters come across well
  • They all responded to queries and tough questions quickly and honestly
  • Most of them have used it to distribute information
  • John Hillery has issued a couple of press releases that were noteworthy
  • John Hillery has a big bias towards health matters in his tweets.
  • A good deal of humour from Tony Mulcahy
  •  One candidate tweeted during the radio debate
Dr John Hillery
 Bravo to you all!

Joe Carey
 Twitter has not reached a tipping point  and Clare is definitely behind other constituencies but it is  here to stay and is hugely beneficial to those that engage

 What is Twitter? It is a method of communicating with a large number of people publicly. It si limited to 140 characters but you can add attachments. It is totally free. It is a great way to get your message across or share your views with one person or many.
