Letter to the Editor of the Mayo News
Dear Editor,
I must take exception to your report in last week's Mayo News which had the subtitle "Labour's Rose Wilts in Mayo". The title gave the impression that Labour suffered a setback or decline here in Mayo when the exact opposite is the truth. Even when the piece went on to acknowledge the increase in Labour's vote this was immediately detracted by the writer's opinion that this was a "Cowley" vote.
What your paper must accept is that in Mayo Labour's vote increased 500% and that our candidate received votes in every ballot box in the county. Labour in Mayo was running at nearly 10% until the Blue tide of "Enda for Taoiseach" knocked Labour out of contention for a Mayo seat (this time).
Labour has doubled it's seats in the Oireachtas and is now the 2nd largest party in Ireland. Here in Mayo we are now seeking to build on the hard work of our candidate Dr Cowley and of our canvassing and election team to ensure that when Dr Cowley runs in the next general election that we secure a Labour seat here in Mayo.

Far from wilting, Labour is in full bloom and we will continue to go from strength to strength. We are now seeking new members and candidates to win seats for the party in the Town and County council elections of 2014. Meanwhile we prepare to elect a Labour President.
To quote Yeats "All changed, changed utterly" here in Mayo and nationally.
Labour will no longer wait and Labour will no longer be underestimated.
Faithfully
