DONEGAL Deputy Mayor
Cllr Charlie McConalogue announced this week that he
is allowing his name go forward for the Inishowen
Fianna Fáil Party nomination for the next general
election.
Cllr McConalogue recently informed Inishowen Fianna
Fáil Comhairle Ceantair members in Buncrana, Cllr
McConalogue that he is to let his name go forward to
the party selection convention. |
“I believe it is
important that Inishowen regain a Dáil seat and I
think that it is to our disadvantage that we do not
have someone who is based in the peninsula currently
representing the area in the Dáil," said the
Gleneely-based councillor.
“Despite times being difficult, I think that it is
important that people are willing to put themselves
forward now to work hard for the area and help bring
about better times in Inishowen over the next few
years. It’s not going to be an easy period but
that’s when being involved and contributing in
whatever way you can is important," |
|
he added.
He said he was heartened with the encouragement he
received within the party.
"I think it is a positive sign for Fianna Fáil that
it will have a choice of candidates available when
selecting a general election candidate. I will be
fully behind whatever decision party members make
when the time comes,” he said. |
