A Fianna Fáil general election candidate has accused members of her own party of staging a campaign of dirty tricks against her.

THE first major row of the next general election campaign has erupted in Limerick East following the decision by FF headquarters to add Cllr Nóirín Ryan to the party ticket — in preference to former TD, Cllr Eddie Wade.

A FINE GAEL move to get Limerick County Council involved in the campaign to open up Croke Park for soccer and rugby was voted down yesterday at a special meeting.
