Retirement guarantees ward a new councillor

A RETIREMENT has made one thing certain – south central will have at least one new councillor after the elections.

The only questions are will Fianna Fáil hold their two seats, will Fine Gael be able to retain its single seat, as some observers predict, will it be the independents or the Green Party to make the breakthrough.

All has changed, changed utterly, in this densely populated square mile ward since the 2004 election.
