Tens of thousands of
newspapers have been delivered by Sinn Fein to homes
in Donegal as part of the party's drive to win two
seats in the next general election.
And the party says it will "further engage" with the
people of the county in the run up to the
forthcoming poll, about their "powerful agenda for
change".

An estimated 500
Republicans from across the North West gathered on
Sunday to launch the joint election campaigns of
Cllr. Padraig MacLochlainn in Donegal North East and
Cllr Pearse Doherty in Donegal South West.
"We believe we have now strongly positioned
ourselves as a party that can deliver for Donegal at
national level," |

said Cllr. MacLochlainn.
He said the party was confident of creating a
sea-change in Donegal politics.
"Sinn Féin is confident of changing the face of
Donegal politics forever with the election of Pearse
Doherty in Donegal South West and myself in Donegal
North East.
"If successful, we will join our existing Sinn Féin
Ministers, MPs, MLAs, MEP and councillors to form a
powerful political grouping fighting for Donegal and
the North West," he added.
The North's Deputy First Minister designate Martin
McGuinness, MP, MLA, officially launched the
campaign and delivered the keynote address at
Jackson's Hotel, Ballybofey on Sunday.
Delegates heard that Sinn Fein was now the only
all-Ireland party.
The Buncrana based town and county councillor said:
"We are ready for Government and we are ready to
implement our policies for an Ireland of equals." |
